Waning reliance on PMCs resulted in a combined effort to design a new standard combat armor package for Confederate troopers. Raxus-pattern combat armor was designed to be versatile, modular, and highly protective against a variety of weaponry ranging from slugthrowers and blasters, to ion disruptors and even lightsabers.

Escharum Risk Control opted for duraplast armor plating due to the material's abundance and defensive qualities. Mid-level explosions, explosive slugthrower rounds, and even medium laser cannon fire are withstood exceptionally well. Underneath is an armorweave bodyglove that provides troops with effective protection against blasterfire and lightsaber blows.

The robust HUD-2.1 "Acumen" Helmet System equips troopers with a wide range of tactical data, integrated life support, dedicated communications, and reconnaissance capabilities, though the entire suite is susceptible to EMP/ION warfare. While reinforced duraplast can be resistant to such attacks, it is not impervious and can suffer critical failures when impacted.

An impressive trait of Raxus-pattern combat armor is its versatility and modularity. Standard packages are cast in a signature taupe hue, but several variations exist for arctic, jungle, naval, urban, and volcanic environments. Temperature regulators protect Confederate troopers from dangerous elemental exposure, a constant threat during campaigns in the Outer Rim and Wild Space.
