Hazardous Environment Suit

The **Hazardous Environment Suit** (HES) refers to an advanced and prototype form of environmental suit used by the Astartes designed to protective them from essentially all forms of environments and atmospheres, including the vacuum of space. Powered by an Type-5 Micro-core that equals to the power output of a nuclear reactor, the suit is associated with the UNESCO scientific special forces that handle and deal with unidentified materials and locations on the planet Earth, and used to advanced space exploration with the suit. However when the ever-expanding Combine Empire began their invasion in Reality-6874, the suit was repurposed to now act as an power armour and their wearers retrained as multi scientific-military infantry to combat against the Combine invasion. Unlike in another reality where the invasion was known as the Seven-Hour War, the war here was referred as the 48-Hour War due to the suit providing the greatest advantages over the Combine thanks to energy shielding and prototype technology with it.

## History

### Origins

The HES suit is manufactured and the build up from a long line of previous suits of the early 18th century. diving suits was the first form of environmental suits that granted the wearer to perform deep-sea diving. The suit was improved during the many years an its existence made way for multiple variations such as pressure suits for high-altitude flight during the 1930s and well into the present year of 2100. The designs and variations soon lead the UNESCO to commission an type of "all-purpose" environmental suit, suited for all forms of environments and atmospheric terrains, leading to the first early developmental stages of the Hazardous Environment Suit.

## Specifications

The Hazardous Environment Suit is an experimental form of powered armour for specialized scientists to be used all manner of environments, protecting them from essentially everything from airborne particles, high to low pressure in the atmosphere, weather and climates and even vacuum of space. It holds an assortment of advanced technologies packed into the suit. While it doesn't enhanced the user's physical capabilities, they should be able to perform a lot of more physical actions due to the protection.

* **Heads-Up Display**: The suit equipped with an advanced protective helmet that utilizes an heads-up display across the visor. In all truth, the HUD is used as the visual sensor to see the outside world, as well providing an motion sensor and/or heat senior, compass, and other information used. The display will also be used to visually communicate to others, way-pointing and access an map if there is one. It also provides identification friend or foe in green and red representations, yellow being an unknown element.
* **Internal Communicator Array**: The suit is situated with an powerful communicator array inside their helmets that allows near-flawless communication and connection to any communication signal. Unless there is an jammer that is purposely disrupting communication frequencies, it's rare for the signal to be lost.
* **Life-Support System**: The Suit's internal life-support system is an state-of-the-art technological marvel where even their own creators still have little understanding on its structure. It's gives the suit an supply of oxygen, allowing the wearer to never need to remove their helmet or replenish oxygen. This means the wearer can be in any oxygen-deprived space for any determined time without the need to return for oxygen.
* **Medi-Gel Injector**: The suit comes with an automotive feature of the Medi-Gek Injector, that injects another yet technological marvel that has almost an mystical property of healing.
* **Adamantine Armour**: The suit provides the hardest metal known man and gives the wearer the highest level of physical protection. The armour can withstand rounds of an .50 BMG to even a .75 calibre. It's also a very lightweight metal, perfect for this suit.
* **Personal Shielding**: The suit also provides the wearer an energy barrier aruond the suit that protects them from both kinetic and energic projectiles. It's created as an first-line of defense on the armour and provide the exact direction of the attack done to them.
* **Survival Backpack**: The suit is equipped with the Survival Backpack that allows the storage and transportation of essential products for survival, including carrying energy cells for their HES Self-Defence Weapon.
* **Magnetic Clapping**: The suit holds an assortment of powerful magnetic clapping that allows the wearer to scale metallic walls and allow them to climb up buildings with greater ease. This also allows them to attach weapons and other items on their person more effectively. It should note that even the Survival Backpack is held by magnetic clapping.
