Shock Suit

Refers to the specific type of armored EVA suit worn by Gudersnipe Shock Troops. Shock Troopers have the most dangerous task among any GS soldier. Essentially, during close-quarters space combat, Shock Troops cross between starships, penetrating enemy vessels through hull breaches. This allows them to gain access usually without triggering an intruder alarms, and circumvent standard counter-insurgency techniques. Shock Suits were initially intended for shock-trooper combat, however the rugged nature of the suit and extreme operating capabilities have caused it to be adopted as the primary general-use EVA suit by much of the Foundation. Though the Shock Suit was designed for use in space, it has found extensive use planet-side. The composite nano-polymer armor plates of the shock suit are designed to deflect shrapnel in a vacuum, making them extremely well equipped to carry out the same task on a planet’s surface. By providing the Lancer within with an independent atmosphere, they offer protection from chemical and poison-gas attacks. Shock Troops can walk through fire, cross rivers on foot, and perform all kinds of tasks simply be being largely impervious to the environment around them. They just can’t walk very fast.
