Thaco armor

Thaco armor is the most advanced known body armor and all-purpose suit. It is favored by Valhalla and other amoebic bases.
== History ==
Thaco armor was designed by, among others, Eric while he was working at RAND. It was an attempt to design the most versatile, ultimate battle armor ever devised. The result was immediately deemed too complex for mass production and too expensive to justify when the world hadn't seen a genuine war in almost 100 years. Eric was fired, and taken aboard with his designs to Valhalla.
== Features ==
Thaco armor consists of a jumpsuit and an armor complex that's worn over it.
The jumpsuit can thin or thicken depending on temperature, growing fur when cold or thinning to mesh when hot. It can absorb most energy attacks.
The armor complex contains dozens of pockets and contains numerous breathing systems, field systems and more, and can repel nearly anything that tries to harm it. It can also lock in to vacuum gear, water gear, gravity suits, varia suits, acid suits, sticky suits and powered suits.
Thaco armor can change color to suit the wearers taste or act as camouflage, or to match Valhalla's photonically selective gateway.
== Behind the Scenes ==
Thaco armor is named for Thac0 (To hit armor count zero), a method of determining battle damage in an old version of Dungeons and Dragons.
