Intent: To create a mass produced, standardized armor for general United Terra Solus Armed Forces troops.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Lork-Tech Industries
Model: Battle Armor Mk I
Affiliation: United Terra Solus Empire
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Plastoid-Ceramic (Armor plates) Durasteel-reinforced Nanoweave (Body Glove) Environmental Underlay
Description: With the popular resurgence in slug weaponry, and with the increasing hostilities in the galaxy, current UTAF armor designs were judged either too inefficient, or too expensive, for mass production. So, Lork-Tech was tasked with creating a mass-produced suit of armor for general combat roles. Taking a note from history, Lork-Tech designed a suit that functioned much like the popular old styled armors.
With an environmental underlay to keep the wearer comfortable in a wide range of temperatures, the body glove is a durasteel-reinforced nanoweave that offers a hard seal against harsh environments and is capable of deflecting small-caliber slugs, low-powered blaster shots, and resistant to slashing. The armor plates are made of a plastoid-ceramic composite that affords the wearer with significant protection against most common infantry-based weaponry. These plates, placed in critical areas over the torso, arms, and legs, can be removed and replaced as worn and damaged in combat, allowing for users to continue battlefield operations. The HUD within the helmet contained an automatic polarization feature, as well as a Multi-Frequency Targeting and Acquisition System, or MFTAS, that assisted the wearer in adverse visual situations, such as smoke, darkness, or weather conditions like sandstorms or blizzards.
Naturally, there are downfalls to the armor. The armor plates have gaps in protection, most notably around the joints and sides of the torso. The body glove is typically only rated for protection from a single blaster bolt or slug before the user is exposed to lethal damage. Dedicated anti-infantry weaponry and high-powered cannons can easily overwhelm the armor's protection, so caution is advised when facing such opposition. The armor only provides for an hour of air before the suit must take in air from the outside. While biological filters are in place that filter out most common airborne particles, diseases, and poisons, the wearer is still limited by the atmosphere in which they are deployed, or lack thereof.
Classification: Multipurpose
Weight: 16 kgs
Other Feature(s):
•Automatic Polarizing Faceplate
•Comlink
•Filter Air (1 hour supply)
•IFF Tag
•MFTAS
•Utility Belt

Commander variants plated in Shroomsteel? :3

There'll probably be only one since I feel Shroomsteel should be extremely rare. So I'm sure the Admiral may have a single suit of it.

It isn't exactly rare, as much as extremely difficult to manufacture. It is Truffle remains and copper that it's made out of.

How would that fare against rail gun rounds?
Or superheated lances?
Just curious, cuz Ginkos are allied with the Hoomans after all.

Poorly against the first and alright with the second. Just don't get stabbed in the joints.
