Phantom

The Phantom Combat Rig, tailored specifically for SDF Legionnaires specializing in sniper roles, deviates from the standard SDF aesthetic with its functional yet distinctive design. As with the FTL - XPROTO rig, it comes with its own weapon, the EM15 Ballista.
== Overview==
Distinguished by its unique and functional design, the rig introduces a departure from the SDF's typical vibrant aesthetic by incorporating practical camouflage. Ghillie-like foliage attachments adorn the shoulders and a specially named helmet, concealing the nevian sniper amidst varied terrains.
The angular plank-shaped helmet offers forehead protection, and its visor integrates seamlessly with the faceplate, providing an extended heads-up display (HUD) for enhanced combat and sniping functionality. While the transparent visor maintains visibility, it does not reveal the nevian's face, ensuring both protection and anonymity.
Despite its stealth-oriented design, the Phantom doesn't compromise on protection. The body armor is constructed from Frelkahn composite, ensuring durability and shielding against ballistic threats. Thigh padding and titanium alloy knee pads provide additional defense, while the gloves feature translucent padding for an extra layer of environmental sealing, crucial for space missions.
The Phantom's legs conceal an exoskeleton, enhancing the sniper's speed and agility without compromising the rig's overall sleek profile. The vacuum-sealed boots, adopting a utilitarian design, offer a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics. This rig represents the fusion of stealth and defense, allowing Legionnaire snipers to operate with precision and adaptability in a variety of combat scenarios.
