Storm Herald EVA-Combat Suit System

## Storm Herald Extra Vehicular Activity Combat Suit System (SHEVACSS)

Produced for project Apolade the Storm Herald Extra Vehicular Activity Combat Suit System (SHEVACSS, pronounced SHE-VAC'S) was the most advanced combat infantry suit used by the Grand Duchy of Julithar. The system was equipped with RCS maneuvering jets, incredible armor and rare in Julitharian infantry design shields. The suit can lock down any penetrations to its inner shell by flooding the area with self-sealing gel that will prevent the loss of pressure over that area for a limited time. During operation usage the system carries all the equipment necessary for project Apolade's infiltration mission; Including light arms such the Kakorroth 231 or the Shakial 232 that will be required inside the pressurized environment of a spacecraft. The system utilizes a hefty backpack style system that contains its power core, necessary for powering the BSLG-1030 "OATH MAKER", as well as the monopropellant fuel. After infiltrating an enemy ship, the pack, as well as the "OATH MAKER" will be detached from the back of the unit to allow for swifter movement through tight corridors.

## Project Apolade

Throughout the planning phases of operation flexing lance project Apolade was considered to help increase the Grand Duchy's ship count. The main point of the plan was to board a hostile capital ship and bring it back to be crewed by Grand Duchy operatives. The operational plan was to utilize a small fleet of light ships to engage a capital ship and force it back to a dry dock for servicing where a team would board the station and engage the light engineering team embarked on the vessel before taking the ship out of port and return to friendly territory. Due to the risks in this plan a new Bunker armor was evaluated for such an operation. As the project progressed and gave way to the Bunker-P armor they honed in to where would be a good place to test it as a viable strategy. It was decided that, as part of operation flexing lance, that the first and easiest spot to test it would be with the first major territory that would be invaded: Republic of Judecen.

The system of Lacross would be the primary operation area, being far enough away from the front, capital and lacking any major port that would be effectively able to secure a capital sized ship. A Lion class battleship would be identified and tracked till it could be isolated for the operation. A small group would engage and deal it damage that would require repair but not impair its movement. It would be shadowed by a 2 phoenix class stealth corvettes with the teams of project Apolade aboard. Once the battleship was in port and the crew had disembarked to allow for servicing teams would be secretly deployed to the station consisting of 3 teams of 15 and one Bunker-P armor. The teams would be made up of 5 paladins and 10 knights.

The Bunker-P would help the teams breach into the station and engage security attempting to stop them. One team would go to the control center to disengage the locks and free the battleship well the other two would go to the battleship and neutralize any hostile forces still aboard. Any civilian contractors/engineers would be sent to a shuttle and ejected from the battleship in order to be picked up by and returned to friendly groups. Once the ship was free the teams on board would begin to maneuver the ship away from the station. Teams would attempt to rendezvous with the team that stayed behind to release the docking clamps, that team would be expected to find transport or preform a space jump to reach the hijacked ship; making use of the Bunker-P's grappling hook system and RCS to catch the escaping ship. Following mission success they would FTL out of system and meet up at pre-specified locations with Grand Duchy forces.

## Serpent war

During the events of the Serpent war the Grand Duchy kept the use and operations of Storm Herald deployments a close secret. This is believed to be to keep a mystery about them. However OSNI believes that this was because they either saw no or limited deployment with little success.
