Description:This is a brand new personal combat system designed by Stellar Enterprises. It uses a three layer system to achieve its goal of enhancing many of the wearer's attributes while providing excellent protection against blasters and solid weapon projectiles.

The first layer, in actually, is the last to be seen. This layer if woren first under the other armor planting. It gives the person wearing it greater speed, endurance, strength, and jump capability. This is achieved with the use of newer developed synthetic muscle fibers. The "skin" suit one would wear is woven from these fibers and acts as an extention of the wearer's body.

Micro-sensors inside the suit itself detect the persons movements and send small electrical charges to constantly move the synthetic muscle fibers as well. When these fibers contract they do the wearer's work for them, allowing them person wearing the suit to not tire as quickly and run after because their muscles don't have to do the work. The same is true for the increase in strength and all the other attributes.

There are also other advantaged provided by the skin. It could contract around a place of injury and provent bloodflow or it could set itself around a bone break and create an instant cast. The sensors inside the skin monitor the soldiers health and report everything to the unit medics and command personal.
Power for this action is provided by a high capacity fuel cell and that woren at the rear of the suit. This power cell can provide the wearer with 24 hours of power, but this numbers drops to 4 hours once the shield is engaged. For this reason, shields are only turned on at certain times.

The Second layer of this system consists of Carbon Matrix armor plates. These plates are designed specifically for the wearer and fit perfectly allowing all body movements They are flexible, yet strong and are made from thin layers of carbon matrix bonded together with polymer glue. This close to the same armor that makes up the new starship armor, only on a much smaller scale.

The armor is great at absorbing blaster shots and can withstand substantial projectile damage do to the polymer glue between the matrix layers. This glue allows the top armor layers to shatter, while still holding the rest of the armor strong and holding the other layers underneath from damage. This shattering also lessens the impact with a little give, absorbing some of the force instead of transfering it all into the soldier.

The armor plates are thickest at the front and at the rear, but the other plates still provide ample protection. Other planets are located on the shoulders, arms, forearms, thighs, and knees/shins.

After these two layers comes the personal shield generator. This shield is able to absorb around 25 shots at one time before collapsing. The engineers could have made it more powerful, but that would have drained the fuel cell faster and would have added more bulkyness to the slimed down suit.

In addition to this armor, the suit contained a sophisticated helmet system. This helmet had the ability of monitoring the wearer's brain patterns and in actually interpreting at that soldier was thinking. This was done through weeks of training for the helmet and the soldier. The helmet had to learn all the thought patterns of the soldier and decipher them correctly before it would be put into combat. The soldier, on the other hand, needed to learn how to work with the helmet system and how to think about what he wanted.

This was achieved through the use of sensor embedded inside the helmet itself. These pick up the micro electromagnetic fields given off when a person thinks and match them to a stored database of field patterns. Each pattern would indicate a different thought and therefore a different command or set of commands.

Using this, the soldier could mental zoom in on some object and have it be projected inside the helmet display. He could think of calling up the commander or the headquarters and the helmet would connect him with the proper person. If he needed to see with night vision or thermal, the soldier only had to think about it and the helmet would comply. This system could also recieve direct data feeds from other soldiers and project what they see inside anyone elses helmet. The data could also be sent via orbiting ship or an unmanned drone hovering overhead.

In combination this makes a single soldier more efficent and a lot more deadly. This in turn decreases the amount of soldiers needed to take an objective or complete a mission.

Stealth Type: This type of suit costs even more than the other. It is used primarily by special forces. This suit's skin layer is special woven to povent body heat from escaping and making the suit invisible to thermal imaging gear. All shown surfaces are also special treated with none reflective paint so that they can't reflect light in the dark, making them very difficult to detect through nightvision or with eyes.

The major breakthrough is the small holo projectors and microcams that are embeded in all the armor plates. The microcams take in images from the outside word and project it out through the holo projectors. This in a sense creates an almost perfect false image by projecting what is behind the soldier in front of them and whats in front on the rear.

This system draws a lot of power and is not used until truelly neccessary. It always has the weakness of being slow with image projection and shouldn't be used while running or even moving quickly because the images will jump from one to another, easily giving away the soldier's position.
