HEV-1

The HEV-1 Combat Rig represents the epitome of heavy combat gear within the Settlement Defence Frontier, specially tailored for Heavy Troopers armed with potent plasma weaponry. Engineered to withstand the rigors of intense warfare and the harsh environment of space, the HEV-1 provides robust protection and extremely enhanced physical capabilities.
==Overview==
The HEV-1 Combat Rig stands as a formidable juggernaut within the SDF's arsenal, purposefully designed for heavy combat scenarios. Carrying the might of the RED-8 plasma machine gun and the MIL-SCATTER semi-auto plasma shotgun, the Heavy Troopers equipped with the HEV-1 become imposing figures on the battlefield.
This combat rig prioritizes enhanced protection and physical augmentation, making it an ideal choice for heavy troopers tasked with engaging in intense firefights. The armor, crafted from reinforced Frelkahn composite and Setricium alloy, offers superior ballistic resistance, ensuring the wearer's survivability in the face of relentless enemy assaults.
The most distinctive feature of the HEV-1 is its fully enclosed helmet, constructed from polished Haedian Steel. This blocky fortress not only provides excellent protection but also integrates an advanced HUD for situational awareness. The helmet opens upwards like a welder's mask, revealing the Legionnaire's face for access to oxygen-rich environments when needed.
The imposing presence of the HEV-1 Combat Rig is further accentuated by its distinctive features, adding to the overall aura of intimidation on the battlefield. The red-copper-colored shoulder plates, in addition to their primary function as robust protective elements, serve as the substantial mounting platform for the rig's formidable helmet. This unique design ensures the helmet remains securely attached, even in the midst of intense combat scenarios.
