BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The standard-issue armor of the Crossroads Republic's special forces from Tier-3 to Tier-2 as well as Tier-1 operatives on direct-action missions. This armor is designed for heavy-combat in strenuous environments to give highly-invested-in troops and operators the best chance of survival in high-risk missions which they are always slated for. The armor is also designed for withstanding severe impacts such as crashes which they are likely to be involved in seeing as Tier-3 units are first-wave forces for securing landing zone for follow-on forces.
