BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The standard flight gear of all Crossroads pilots. There isn't much to it in terms of special ground-breaking features aside from its helmet, which has an advanced HUD which provides vast amounts of real-time updates from the craft the pilot is flying and from the larger CRAF battle net. The flight suit can easily handle hazardous atmospheres and zero-atmosphere and is able to function at full capacity when attached to the life support system of the craft the pilot is flying. The zero-atmosphere capability is a contingency, and so that the pilots can leave their crafts and effect repairs even in zero-atmosphere and zero gravity so the pilots can help rescue themselves if their craft is disabled. Pilots wear this gear at all times when on duty due to its complexity and its hard components are personalized with custom paintjobs, patches, and other personal touches to denote different pilots' gear.
