Armored Space Suit

About the Armored Space Suit

Where a pressure suit merely keeps its wearer alive in the void, the armored space suit expects them to fight there, marrying full environmental sealing to genuine heavy protection. The reinforced shell holds atmosphere and shrugs off blaster fire alike, letting boarding troops, void-combat specialists, and vacuum-hardened mercenaries breach a hull and battle through it with no more fear of the vacuum than of the defenders. That completeness comes at a steep cost in weight and freedom of movement; the suit is heavy, stiff, and slow, crushing a wearer's agility beneath its layered plating and life-support. But in the airless, lethal theaters where it belongs, that is a price gladly paid. A soldier in an armored space suit carries their own world and their own fortress at once, able to cross open vacuum and step into a firefight without ever needing to breathe the enemy's air.
