Message: <blockquote data-quote="kronos182" data-source="post: 9781020" data-attributes="member: 6668634">Carapace ArmourThis type of armour is a type of heavy body armour used by many agencies of the Imperium of Man, from the Imperial Guard, Navy to the Adeptus Arbites. It consists of large rigid plates of armaplas, ceramite that fit over the torso, arms, legs and includes a helmet, providing better protection than flak armour. Typically assigned to Imperial Guard officers, Storm Troopers, and other elite units. Some types include simple slots for carapace plates to be inserted or swapped for different types, or remove parts for improved mobility, but reducing protection. Carapace Armour (PL6)Type: MediumEquipment Bonus: +4Nonprof.

The helmet comes with rebreathers that have 1 hour air canisters which can be quickly swapped, to allow the suits to be environmentally sealed, if for limited times. The helmets also include photo-visors for low light vision and protect against light based attacks to blind or daze the wearer, and military radios that are encrypted. A wrist mounted Auspex, or scanner, mounts motion sensors, basic environmental sensors (detects radiation, breathable air, common airborne or water toxins and diseases, and energy given off by vehicles and living troops). The armour has a mount for a grav-chute so they can function as drop troops. The back mounts a small power pack that powers the suits for a week, mounted on the lower back. Has sealed containers on the back and legs for carrying a week's worth of rations and water. Cadian Storm Trooper Armour (PL6)Type: MediumEquipment Bonus: +4Nonprof.

The packs are about half the size of parachutes and strap to the upper back, around the shoulders. When active, two small winglets deploy form the sides which are the suspensor field emitter surfaces. The user can control direction somewhat and rate of decent with a thumb joystick and descent finger lever on a control stick attached by a cable to the pack. The system is silent for a faint humming, which makes it an excellent insertion method for special forces. Only designed to control a fall rather than power a boost up into the air. Has enough power for 1 hour of operation before needing a replacement.If using Tumble skill for parachute rules, grants a +2 equipment bonus to checks to determine if on course, or for landing in dangerous terrain. .Weight: 9.5 lbsPDC: 22</blockquote>
