The Warfighter
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The armor is supposed to provide as much protection as possible to a variety of things while allowing the user to be mobile in combat as well. The thrusters on the user's back aren't designed for flying or hovering, but rather short, quick bursts of speed and jumping substantially higher than the average human. It was designed to be able to be used in space combat as well, if the user desired to board a starship from the outside in space to infiltrate. The armor's purpose was also to be a multipurpose rig and offer protection to most types of handheld weaponry as blasters and lightsabers would be quite common to go up against in a fight. In extreme weather conditions, like very intense heat from solar flares or intense cold from sudden temperature drops, the rig will protect the user for a very limited time because of the body temperature regulator and the user needs to seek shelter or protection ASAP. If not, the system could fail and cause the armor to absorb the weather condition and transfer it to the user's body.
