SPECIAL COMPONENTS:
- Waste Recycler
- Biological Converter
- Water Reprocessor
- Water Scrubber
- Hostile Systems Unit
- Sureseal Patches (2)
- Unit contains two (2) Sureseal patches in case of a rupture.
- Unit provides recycled water and low-grade nutrient paste, made from reclaimed organic waste ; however, these supplies will endure only a few days, do not taste very good, and require the suit to be in good working order to maintain.
- Unit protects against extreme temperatures (-40 to 100 Galactic Standard Degrees), keeping the wearer at a healthy, comfortable body temperature.
- Unit protects against radiation, corrosive substances, kinetic damage, and hostile environments.
- Unit is flame resistant, waterproof, and provides pressure control allowing it to act as both an EVA suit or diving suit if required.
- FrictionGrip on palms, fingers, and soles of feet ensure positive traction and firm, yet sensitive tactile ability and gripping of weapons, tools, etc.
- Cellular padding helps to ensure comfortable long-term wear as well as enable walking, running, and shock absorption.
- Can reprocess biological waste (including perspiration, feces, urine, dead skin cells) into potable water and low-grade nutrient paste, able to sustain a humanoid for several days without outside food or water.
- Maintains wearer’s body at comfortable temperature, pressure, and shields against radiation, hostile environments, and corrosive substances.
- Offers excellent protection against kinetic damage, i.e. punctures, tears, or melee weapons, as well as against concussive shock.
- Can allow survival only for a few days before recycled waste loses nutritional value or dehydration prevents water reclamation without taking in outside food or water.
- Offers no protection against blasters or lightsabers, and is not able to be used as combat armor.
- Does not shield against EMP/Ion threats.
- Does not offer protection against Force Abilities.
- Takes some practice to train one's self to breathe in through the mouth and out through the nose to maximize effectiveness of the suit's reclamation system.
- Does not provide breathing supply.
- Offers no tactical advantage regarding camouflage, concealment, or stealth beyond its drab matte black color.
Scouts, explorers, soldiers on long-range operations, pilots, and those whose profession finds them amid dangerous and hostile environments all have one thing in common: The need for life-sustaining, protective clothing and gear. It was this common need that inspired Visanj T’shkali to conceive of the Vagabond System.
Acting with this base layer, multiple components can be added and included, configured in various different ways to meet mission specifics, and ensure a wearer’s best possible odds against succumbing to the dangerous environments and situations into which these intrepid souls go. Engineered using tried-and-true materials and designs, the base layer is remarkably comfortable, exceptionally lightweight, and almost impossibly tough. Able to serve as a stand-alone flightsuit, a body-glove able to be worn beneath clothing or armor, or an emergency survival suit, the base layer maintains the wearer’s healthy and safe physical well-being, offers a few days of low-grade nutrition and potable water, and shields them from radiation, hostile environments (including the vacuum of space), caustic and toxic chemicals, and much more.
The miniaturized reclamation system breaks down organic waste (e.g. feces, dead skin cells, perspiration, urine, etc.) and filters it to produce potable, albeit bland, tasteless lukewarm water and a low-grade (and poor-tasting) greyish nutrient paste, stored in catch pockets within the suit. This paste and water can sustain a wearer for several days before lack of fresh water and food render the recycled material expended and devoid of nutritional value.
Power for the suit’s internal systems stems from capitalizing on the bioelectricity and BTUs given off by the body, capturing them and converting them into useful power, which means the suit can operate without the need of any other power source.
