- Jack of All Trades: Stormtroopers are trained to fight in all environments, and so their armour should mirror that. The PF-03 is an armour that provides stormtroopers with the versatile tools they need to operate in any battlefield.
- Keeping Soldiers In The Fight: The restorative systems found within the PC-03 armour are excellent at keeping soldiers continuing fighting long after they’ve been hit with injuries that would incapacitate others. Adrenal injectors and painkiller dispensers numb the pain and make soldiers push through to the final victory.
- I See You!: The wide spectrum of visual suites and visors available for the PC-03 is able to spot most camouflaged enemies on a wide variety of visual spectrums.
- Secure Kit: With biometric locks issued on the armour, means no plucky infiltrators can get past checkpoints in these boys kit.
WEAKNESSES
- Helm Damage: Once significant damage has been sustained to the helm of the PC-03, the settings that traditionally provide the wearer an advantage may be its undoing with an inability to change or random flickering that could distract the wearer.
- Get This Thing Offa Me!: The PC-03 is a piece of armour requiring biometric scanning. This means scavenging armour from fallen comrades, or replacing kit in the field impossible.
- It’s White: Right what it says, its white. Its easy to spot, and while some units may deploy with camoflage, the majority of stormtroopers found typically don’t bother.
- A Bit Heavy: The armour is bulky and heavy. That can affect manoeuvrability of the wearer.
- Joints: The joints of the PC-03 do not have nearly as much armouring as the plating, making those a key target or hostiles.
DESCRIPTION
The PC-03 is a piece of armour kit which is effectively an evolution of the old FO-2 vintage. While the armour remains practically the same, minus a few features, it does have added internal autoinjectors that provide painkillers to aid with trauma relief in the field, and to make what are already capable soldiers push through the pain barrier. This series of armour is also less widely produced, allowing for manufacturers to focus on increasing plate thickness and insulation allowing the wearer to sustain more damage. Although admittedly the weight was affected as a result, effecting maneuvering and speed in tough terrain.
The PC-03 is an armour designed to be able to be used in any environment and for almost any combat situation, available for space combat, stealth use, or as typically used, a shock trooper type role. The armour is used as a propaganda symbol, to show that the spirit of those forced to depart to the Unknown Regions was never truly broken.
