About the Vacuum Pod
A vacuum pod is not armor in any fighting sense, it's a survival shell, a rigid pressurized cocoon that keeps a being alive in the killing cold of space when nothing better is at hand. Emergency escape pods, salvage rigs, and cheap EVA setups use them to seal a person against vacuum, feed them air, and hold them together long enough for rescue or the completion of some grim outside task. The bulk that makes it airtight also makes it a prison: a wearer can barely move, let alone fight, and the pod's rating reflects immobility and sealed protection against the void, not resistance to weapons. Anyone caught in a vacuum pod during a fight is a slow, helpless target, which is precisely why no one chooses to wear one into danger. It exists to keep death by suffocation at bay, and nothing more.
Notes
Survival vehicle, not combat-rated armor. AC bonus is below the standard Heavy band by design — represents bulk and immobility, not protection.
