Enclave GEN2 Powered Assault Armor

Achilles Powered Assault Armor

The **GEN2 Powered Assault Armor** was a pet project of the Enclave Office of Wasteland Intelligence and Reclamation. It was made to be better than the bulky and slow Power Armor that even the Hellfire Power Armor could not avoid. The Achilles is the first of these armors, and it's design shows as much.

## Armor Components

### Biofoam

Biofoam (short for biomedical foam) is a self-sealing, space-filling coagulant and an antimicrobial, tissue-regenerative foam polymer used by the Enclave Shock Troopers as a form of medical first aid. This foam keeps damaged organs in place and helps stop bleeding and hemorrhaging. The medicinal compound is morphophetamine in a polyethyltriphosphate foaming medium dispensed with nitrous oxide. The standard dosage is 10 centiliters (10cL).

### Energy Shielding

Energy shielding is an advanced defensive technology making use of a field of energized particles that wraps around a surface, which deflects objects that attempt to impact the surface. Most energy shields are able to deflect various forms of damage, from material projectiles to directed energy streams.

### Compact Fusion Reactor

The fusion reactor is the most essential part of the PAA system, as it provides power to all equipment on the armor—the reactor is built into the suit and allows for nearly unlimited movement. GEN2's fusion reactor is installed at the back of the torso carapace.

### Magnetic Holder Strips

The PAA features very small, yet powerful magnets placed on the legs, waist, and back of the suit that are used to hold any equipment or any weapons with a magnetic property. The suit also contains a magnet system within its boots that allows its wearer to stay attached to a metal surface in zero gravity environments and can be toggled on or off by the wearer.

### Force-Multiplying Circuits

Allows the user greatly enhanced reflexes and strength, improving mobility and combat effectiveness in close quarters. Notwithstanding the lack of any truly understood limitations, ESTs have been recorded lifting Warthogs, bending steel, and shattering concrete on the battlefield.

### Motion Tracker

Shows movement of friendly and enemy units within the system's radius.

### Pressure Seal

The pressure seal is a vital component to the PAA system, it keeps the system airtight, underwater or in space. The seal is very strong and will only break under extreme pressure, such as in a high velocity impact or when the hydrostatic gel has been over pressurized.

## Armor Attachments

### M2705 Regeneration Field

When activated, the EST thrusts their chest out to produce a spherical field of green energy, which rapidly restores the shields of anyone in its radius. The field lasts for ten seconds before disappearing. The Regeneration Field does not block projectiles from entering in and out of the area, though it does have a brief deflecting effect in the second that it is activated. During that first second, the expanding field pushes away large objects from the Shock Trooper, including vehicles, ammo boxes, and rockets.

### M805X Thruster

The Thruster has the ability to propel users over short distances, an ability useful for escaping danger, dodging enemy fire, or saving oneself from falling over a cliff or bottomless pit. However, even more useful are the numerous stunts one can pull off with the Thruster Pack. The Thruster Pack enhances movement in all directions, not just forward, and as such it can be used for quickly strafing or taking cover.

### Type-3 Active Camouflage

The Type-3 Refraction Dissonance Modifier/Camouflage (T-3 RDM/C), more commonly known as active camouflage or active camo, is a refraction dissonance modifier and an armor plug-in that can bend light around the surface of an individual or structure. Designed to make the wearer invisible to visual scanning for a short time, its user is only noticeable by the diffraction of light around the wearer, making them appear as a "shimmer".
