them hardened armor that could double as a long-duration
spacesuit would ultimately increase their survivability in combat.
CBA-1 consists of a soft undersuit of bio-fiber over which bio-
ceramic, bio-metal & bio-polymer composite clam shell is
attached. At the knees, elbows, neck, groin and underarms are
thickened bio-fiber layers to allow for relative ease of
movement. The kneecaps and shoulders have an additional
lames to provide added protection.
The MIELS gear (Modular Individual Equipment Loading
System) can be attached, though most eschew anything but
holsters, ammo and grenade pouches. The forearm vambraces
can accept the space combat shield.
This was the standard issue armor for UEF Space Marine The break though came with the adoption of the temperature-

energy directed against it than previous ballistic & ablative bio-
CBA-2 Combat Body Armor fiber armors. Not only was this smart fiber more rigid when
struck, dispersing energy upon impact, it was also capable of
being used as a spacesuit for limited periods of time. When
combined with the balaclava, helmet and breathmask allowed
troopers to survive even in space.

Adaptability is what makes CBA-2 successful. In most

instances, the full armor is not necessary. The standard (Riot)
configuration consists of the undersuit, breastplate, vambraces,
greaves and helmet. The GMP and Space Marine ship's
security generally only utilize the Riot Armor. Infantrymen and
those who are going into heavy combat configure their armor

The development of the Cyclone Rider System was a long
series of starts and stops. First began as part of The Bahamut
Project, the original MODAT Cyclones were large transforming
powered armor. The Typhoon performed admirably but was
was a mecha that could negotiate entering buildings and other
relatively small spaces. The MOSPEADA series began with the
VR-025 'Charger' Military Police Special and it made use of a
special set of body armor that could be integrated with the
transforming motorcycle.
CVR-3 is required for interfacing with the MOSPEADA-series
Cyclones and the IPA-4 Grimnir Jump Infantry Battle Armor. It
consists of a temperature-controlled body glove, breastplate,
vambraces, greaves, lower torso connector and quadricep
plates. Additionally, the operator may utilize arm and leg manica
to provide additional protection for those vulnerable areas, but it
is not required.
Originally, a reinforced bike helmet was issued. Later, an
improved helmet with additional armoring and advanced Heads-
up-Display and Multi-optics band was designed.
Lord Breetai commissioned a special armored helmet for his
Zentraedi forces, so as to distinguish them on the battlefield.
As well, the GMP ordered a different armored helmet for their
operators to better distinguish themselves when responding.
CVR-3F Cyclone Veritech Ride Armor
Type: Hard Armor
Weight: 6.3kg (w/o arm & leg manica)

Because the MOSPEADA Cyclones were to be issued to
soldiers regardless of sex, the Robotech Research Group
developed a set of armor to accommodate the fairer half of the
human race. Other than being lighter, it provides the same level
of protection as CVR-3M and can integrate with any of the
MOSPEADAs or the Grimnir Battle Armor. protection against energy weapons when the ESAPI plate
(Energy Small Arms Protective Insert) is added. Soft-sided
MIELS gear can be attached to the vest.
Even after it was superseded by the various hard armors
developed for the UEF, the 'Lorica' continued in production. It
was popular with civilian militias who could not get their hands
on Hoplon jumpsuits or CBA-2 hard armor as well as hi-tech
bandits, criminals and private military contractors. Given its
concealable nature, the basic vest was also popular with the
GMP for undercover operations.

M-2041A 'Fritz'-type Combat Helmet

Type: Hard Armor Accessory

Weight: 1.1kg
Protection: 1D physical, +1 energy (head only)
Encumbrance: none
The standard combat helmet for the United Earth Multi-
National Forces, the M-2041A remained one of the standard
pieces of gear for most soldiers and security personnel the
world over. It was widely copied by the AUL, NACPS as well as
corporations like Shimada Enterprises. Making use of advanced
bio-polymer, bio-fiber and bio-metal mesh, the 'Fritz' as it
became to be known (due to its resemblance to the World War
M-2041 'Lorica' Battle Vest II Germany Wermacht helmet) provides good protection to the
head of the wearer.
In the years following The Rain of Death, the 'Fritz' was widely
used by mercenaries, hi-tech bandits, civilian militias and even
foragers who needed some modest protection. It remained in
production throughout The Invid Occupation and traveled with
the REF across the stars as a standard piece of gear. Among
the aliens encountered by The Sentinels, the Karbarrans were
the most ready to adapt it for their use.

While the 'Lorica' Battle Vest provided good protection against M-2051 Battle Dress Utility
slugthrowers and energy weapons when introduced, further
unraveling of Robotech science made it possible to have
improved body armor. The 'Hoplon' was rushed into production
when hostilities broke out between the UEG and AUL in 2045
and was adopted for the UEMNF Ground Forces.
While the Lorica protects only the chest, the Hoplon covers
some 80% of the body, leaving on the head, hands and feet
unarmored. The basic jumpsuit is anti-ballistic bio-fiber that has
ultra-fine bio-metal mesh woven into the fabric, much like a suit
of maille from The Middle Ages. This provides good protection
and is surprisingly light for what it does. The most advantageous
aspect is that it can be combined with the M-2041 vest to
provide good protection to the torso.
Soft-sided MIELS gear can be attached at various points
around the suit. A helmet is often the only other piece of armor
utilized, though some users add a bio-fiber poncho for additional
protection.
Much like the 'Lorica', the 'Hoplon' stayed in production all the
way up through The Invid Occupation. It could be found among
citizens militias, hi-tech bandits, private military contractors and
so forth when UEG or AUL hard armors were not available or
cost prohibitive. It traveled with the REF across the galaxy
where it was adapted by a number of races for their own use
including the Praxians, Garudans, Karbarrans and Spherians.

The ultimate in minimalism, this armor is merely a 2m square

In the aftermath of The First Robotech War, UEMNF Supreme
Commander Glovalsky determined that a new battle dress
capable of acting as soft armor was needed for the remaining
Earth forces. The basic prototypes were already in use among
the troops of The Southern Cross Group at Fort Esperanza.
Glovalsky pushed to make it service-wide and by 2052 all
UEMNF troops were being issued the new BDUs. It had
numerous copies and knock-offs produced over the years and
made its way into the inventories of the AUL and NACPS.
The BDU consists of a single jumpsuit made of the same anti-
ballistic bio-fiber cloth as the Hoplon combat jumpsuit. The
standard reinforced bio-polymer and bio-fiber combat boots are
part of the deal as well. It is colored camouflage to match the
terrain, though it can be easily modified due to its chameleon-
like properties. Like other armors, it can utilize soft-sided MIELS
gear, increasing its usefulness in combat. It can also be utilized
in conjunction with the 'Lorica' Battle Vest.
Like other soft armors, the BDUs remained in production even
up through The Invid Occupation. It was among the most
common pieces of gear that The Resistance had in their war
with the invaders. Among the alien worlds visited by the REF,
the Praxians were the most ready to adopt it.
M-2042 Standard Flight Suit
Type: Hostile Environment Suit
Weight: 3.5kg
Protection: +1 physical, +1 energy
Encumbrance: none
Among the items scavenged from the crashed ASA-02 on the
Moon were Zentraedi flightsuits. With the aid of the EVE AI, The
Proteus Group reverse engineered the bio-fiber material. This
breakthrough was among the first steps taken in the Earth
adopting Tirolian biotechnology.
The flightsuit acts as a temperature-controlled body glove
which can be made fully environmental with a helmet. The
helmet itself can be sealed or left open depending upon mission
parameters. The suit also acts as a pressure suit for pilots
operating at high altitudes as well.
This is the standard issue item for all UEG pilots, atmospheric
or space. The Air/Space Force makes the most use of it, though
the Army Air Corps and Army Naval Corps issue them as well
and it was widely copied by both the AUL and NACPS. The REF
took the suit with them across the galaxy.
NMSR Environmental Body Armor
Type: Hard Armor
Weight: 13.5kg
Protection: 3D physical, 2D+2 energy
Encumbrance: -2D
Introduced at the start of The Malcontent Uprisings, this armor 'Conquistador' remained popular. The mercenary El Vencedor
was a common sight for UEF troops stationed in South America Army and Aaron Rawlin's People's Army both used this armor
and Africa. It soon became the standard armor for the entire
Anti-Unification League and could be found among allied
mercenaries and hi-tech bandits.
Similar in many respects to the UEG's EBA-1 this armor in
turn set the standard for the CBA-2 and CVR-3 that the UEG
later adopted. As such, the latter benefited from copies of the
former acquired by the UEG, allowing them to reduce the weight
and still maintain a high level of protection.
Like the UEG hard armors it influenced, the NMSR armor can
utilize both hard-sided and soft-sided MIELS gear, hard-sided
rucksack, jump infantry pack and holo-comm unit. A specially-
developed search-light combat shield is also generally issued
as well.
Merchant Republic 'Conquistador' Body Armor
Type: Flexible Armor
Weight: 8kg
Protection: 2D physical, 1D+2 energy
Encumbrance: -1D
Originally developed by The Proteus Group's Weapons
Division, what became known as 'Conquistador' armor was
based upon samples of the standard Zentraedi Body Armor
found aboard the ASA-02. Primarily, it consists of a bio-fiber
undersuit over which semi-rigid plates and clam shell are
added. A hard-shell helmet is the only head protection, which
was simply the standard UEG 'Fritz' helmet.
Just prior to it entering official test trials an AUL sleeper cell
managed to steal several samples as well as destroy the
remaining production run, corrupt the data accumulated and kill
the design staff. As such it never entered official use by the
UEG which quickly covered up the incident.
Following The Rain of Death, surviving members of the
original cell emigrated to newly emerged Merchant Republic of
Argentina and they brought their treasure trove with them. It
was soon put into production and began appearing among hi-
tech bandits and allied AUL mercenaries. Although it was
superseded by the NMSR's environmental body armor, the

On Invid Occupied Earth this armor can be found from time to
time among hi-tech bandits as well as The Resistance. Like
many other pieces of AUL gear, it remained in production at
least in small numbers.
NACPS 'O-Yoroi' Body Armor
Type: Hard Armor
Weight: 10.5kg
Protection: 2D+1 physical, 2D energy
Encumbrance: -1D+1
The NeAsian Co-Prosperity Sphere developed this suit based
on captured samples of the NMSR's body armor, the UEG's
CBA-2 and the Zentraedi Hostile Environment Armor. As such it
combines the best aspects of both to provide outstanding
protection. Stylistically, it resembles the ancient Samauri armor
including the horned helm and mempo/face mask.
The armor consists of a bio-fiber undersuit, balaclava, helmet,
breathmask and combat boots over which clam shell armor is
added. Breastplate, paldrons, rerebraces, vambraces, cuisses
and greaves all make up the hard armor pieces. However,
neither arm or leg manica are integrated with the armor as it
would make it too heavy and encumbering.
As with all military developments pursued by the NeAsians,
the 'O-Yoroi' saw widespread use against both Zentraedi
Malcontents and later NMSR troops in the 2nd Anti-Unification
War. It found its way into the hands of allied mercenaries,
freebooters, hi-tech bandits and any who could travel to New
Hong Kong to purchase a set.
It traveled with what troops were assigned to the REF and
saw at least modest service across the galaxy. Of the aliens
encountered, the Praxians were the most ready to adopt it,
reserving it for their Male Warriors to help distinguish them in
battle.

The first mass produced hostile environment suit for use by
Earth personnel, this the ubiquitous piece of gear for everyone
plying the spacelanes. First introduced in mid 2040, it soon
became famous as one of the myriad of pieces of gear that the
Russian-Chinese playboy Sasha Chang utilized during his
round trip voyage to The Main Asteroid Belt in a Yuri Gagarin-
class Shuttle.
It consists of a temperature-controlled bio-fiber pressure suit
with a semi-rigid torso rig as well as hard armored calf boots,
vambraces, gauntlets and helmet. This provides good protection
against micro-meteoroids. The standard rebreather unit recycles
constantly, allowing for extended periods EVA. Radiation and
electrical shielding prevent the operator from suffering
deleterious effects during such maneuvers. The helmet itself
includes a HUD capable of displaying numerous types of data
including atmospheric conditions, radiation et al.
Standard to most of these suits are various pieces of survival
equipment such as an internal hydration bladder with straw,
tongue operated long-range radio, nutrient bladder with straw as
well as a catheter for taking care of liquid waste.
Zentraedi Body Armor
Type: Flexible Armor
Weight: 8.5kg
Protection: 2D physical, 2D energy
Encumbrance: -1D
The standard combat armor of all Zentraedi troops consists of
a soft undersuit over which semi-rigid plates and clam shell are
added. The result is good protection for modest encumbrance.
Like the Earth's CBA-2, the helmet and breathmask can be
sealed to allow Zentraedi troops to survive in a hostile
environment like space for at least a limited period of time.
This was the single most widely used armor in the entire
galaxy. On Earth it was used by both Zentraedi troops and
Malcontents. Mercenaries and hi-tech bandits favor it because
suits are plentiful and it was found in the inventories of every
military force on the planet.
On Invid Occupied Earth, the Resistance tried its best to
secure these suits for its members when possible. Small scale
production of them continued in Manaus and Intara throughout
the occupation.
Zentraedi Flight Suit
Type: Hostile Environment Suit
Weight: 3.5kg
Protection: +2 physical, +1 energy
Encumbrance: -1
The standard flight suit of all Zentraedi pilots, it is the
ubiquitous piece of equipment for the Tirolian Air Forces. It
provides protection from hostile environments such as space
and acts as a pressure suit for high altitude flying. Made of bio-
fiber and woven bio-metal mess, the flight suit offers modest
anti-ballistic and ablative defense for the pilot.
The basic design has not changed in several millennia which
is a testament to its proven design. Like much of the gear of the
Zentraedi, versions of it exist across the galaxy among myriad
of species. Among the nations of the Earth, both the Anti-
Unification League and NeAsian Co-Prosperity Sphere adopted
this for their Air Forces, though both used a different style
helmet to accomodate their pilots.
Zentraedi Hostile Environment Armor
Type: Hard Armor
Weight: 12.5kg
Protection: 2D+2 Physical, 2D+2 Energy
Encumbrance: -1D+2
This is the standard armor worn by those Zentraedi forces that
engage in ship-to-ship operations including boarding and
security. Like so many other armors that later copied it, the
basic setup consists of a temperature controlled bio-fiber body
glove with gloves and balaclava over which an fully enclosed
environmental clam shell is placed. At places where mobility is
necessary (such as the knees and elbows) thickened bio-fiber is
used instead of hard carapace.
 In the years following The Rain of Death this suit became
notorious as it was found in the hands of hi-tech space bandits,
privateers and Malcontents who lurked in The Debris Ring. Tens
of thousands of copies were looted over the years from the
hulks of Ba'Dolza Kridanig's Grand Fleet and Breetai Tul's
Imperial-class Fleet.
When the Zentraedi Allied Forces joined The Pioneer Mission,
this armor traveled with them as standard for shipboard
personnel. Those who instead chose to serve in the United
Earth Air/Space Forces often wore their traditional armor
instead of the EBA-1. Among the various alien races
encountered by The Sentinels, only the Praxians had adopted it.
On Invid Occupied Earth, it remained a somewhat uncommon
sight, mostly in the hands of Manaus and Intara teams that
routinely trekked into the wastelands for salvage.
Tirolian Standard Combat Jumpsuit
Type: Soft Armor

Protection: 2D Physical, 1D+2 Energy
3D Physical, 2D+2 (w/semi-rigid armor inserts)
Encumbrance: none, -2 w/semi-rigid armor inserts
This is the standard armor worn by Tirolian Army and Security
Caste as well as Bioroid Operators. Like many other soft
armors, it consists of a temperature controlled bio-fiber body
glove that has ultra-fine bio-metal mesh woven into the fabric.
Like other pieces of Tirolian technology, the jump suit makes
use of advanced inertial dampening fields that reduces the
impact of slugthrower weapons used against it.
Most Bioroid operators use the basic jumpsuit while Tirolian
Army troopers and Security Caste utilize semi-rigid inserts that
greatly improves the protection offered with but a minor increase
in encumbrance. The additional armor looks like nothing more
than thick undergarments that conform to the shape of the
user's body.
When combined with a breathmask, helmet, gloves and
balaclava, the combat jumpsuit can be used for space
operations for an extended period of time. At the end of the 2 nd
Robotech War, tens of thousands of Tirolians, many of them
dissidents, were unceremoniously dumped into space wearing
these suits as they were considered deadweight by The
Robotech Masters. It was only the miracle of Robotech bio-
technology that allowed many of them to survive long enough to
be rescued.
Like the Bioroid Terminator Powered Armor, the combat
jumpsuit has mimetic camouflage capabilities that allows its
operator hide in nearly plain sight (especially if the balaclava is
utilized). More than one Earthman never knew what hit him until
it was too late as a Tirolian Army trooper seemed to literally
materialize out of thin air.
On Invid Occupied Earth, this became the standard wear of
Tirolian troops in the Manaus and Intara enclaves. Among the
REF, it was also the standard issue armor for Bioroid Interceptor
operators.
Praxian Female Scout Armor
Type: Hard Armor
Weight: 8.5kg
Protection: 2D physical, 1D+2 energy
Encumbrance: -2
Praxian scouts make up the majority of the Praxian military
force. Their armor, naturally, tends to be the best suited for such
operations as it provides fantastic protection with very little in
the way of encumbrance.
Much like how the NeAsian CoProsperity Sphere's 'O-Yoroi'
armor was stylistically patterned on ancient Samurai armor, the
Praxian Female's Scout Armor is stylistically designed to evoke
the ideal of heroic single combat. In fact, when the REF first
encountered this armor, it struck them how much it resembled
ancient earth armor such as that used by the Achaean Greeks
and Romans of the Principate Era.
Like the Tirolian Bioroid Terminator Powered Armor, the
Praxian Scout armor has mimetic camouflage capability that
allows it to seamlessly blend into the surrounding terrain. The
helmet has a multi-optical capability allowing the scout to
function in numerous lighting conditions. A combat shield and
other accessories are normal issue.
Perytonian Wizard's Robes
provide the operator protection in a hostile environment such as
space for at least a modest amount of time.
When the majority of the Solugi rebelled against The Invid
Regess, they took their armor with them. With their
establishment on the new subcontinent of Anak, they began
producing new copies to outfit their personnel. Those who
pledged their service to the EDF retained their armor and it
officially entered Earth inventories with the Solugi Allied Forces
in February of 2085.

Type: Soft Armor

Weight: 2kg
Protection: 1D+1 physical, 1D+1 energy
Encumbrance: None
Perhaps the strangest armor Earthlings ever encountered
during war with The Invid Regent was the Perytonian Wizard's
Robes. Made of the same bio-fiber cloth and bio-metal mesh as
countless other armors, the Perytonian used their nanotech to
improve the basic concept. Integrated into the design were
nanites that were able to tap into local electrical currents to
increase the fabric's tensile strength when struck. This reduces
the impact from slugthrowers, shrapnel fragments and beam
weapons as well as dampens the effects of energy weapons.
Like all things about the Wizards of Peryton, they were loathe
to reveal any of the secrets surrounding this garment. It was
only the Perytonian Burak who deigned to treat with either of the
heads of The Robotech Research Group, Doctors Emile Lang
and Lazlo Zand. As such, even though much was learned none
of the technology proved to be capable of reverse engineered
by the Earth forces.
The clothing consists of a high-necked temperature-controlled Haydonite Warrior's Robes
body glove, broad girdle-like belt, jet black knee boots and a
long cape with hood.

When the Invid Regess decided to evolve The Special
Children into the humaniform Solugi, her scientists set about
developing a suit of body armor that would protect the new
troops. Using reverse engineered samples of the Tirolian
combat jumpsuit, the Solugi armor provides good protection for
modest encumbrance to the wearer. It was rushed into
production and the first pilots to utilize the Gosu Command
Battloid wore this suit.

When the crew of the SDF-03's battlegroup were captured by
The Haydonites, they were separated from their armor and
weapons. Moved to a habitat on Haydon V, they lived in the
technological paradise with little hope of escape. It was only
when the Rogue Haydonite Veidt brought them weapons and
armor that their prospects changed. Among the gear secured for
them were the standard Haydonite Warrior's Robes.
A long floor length robe, this armor is the pinnacle of bio-fiber
cloth technology. Haydonite nanotechnology taps into local
electrical currents to increase the ablation of all attacks,
physical or energy. This includes an inertial dampening field that
will disperse shrapnel, bullets, explosions and blasters.
Among the other properties of the armor is its mimetic
camouflage ability. While all bio-fiber cloth can slowly adapt to
its surroundings, the Haydonite robes can swiftly do so with little
more than a thought by the user. The integrated hood, when
drawn up, will cause the interior to appear be completely dark
from the exterior if the user wishes. Not even shining a bright
light into the hood will reveal the occupant. When the hood is
drawn, the user can see in whatever aspect of the light
spectrum is the most beneficial for the user whether it be
infrared, ultraviolet or visible light.
The hood has several other properties that make it
immediately useful. If the user wishes to communicate with
another person wearing the robes, he need merely speak and
the other user will hear them. This includes those separated at
great distances, including other star systems, and is in real-
time. Finally, the acoustics of the hood allow the user to hear
whatever they are observing, even if the user is stone deaf!
Much like the shadowed hood, the user cannot be overheard if
he wishes.
Dr. Lang, upon testing the armor and discovering its different
properties speculated that it benefits from a super-advanced
version of the Earth's rather primitive 'Thinking Cap' technology.
The FTL-comm capability was truly like nothing the Earth
scientist had ever encountered as even the smallest FTL-comm
system developed for the Zentraedi was the size of a large
backpack.
Naturally, the robes can be integrated with most other armors,
soft or hard. However, the majority of those humans who have
access to this only had their M-2051 Battle Dress. Its use by
non-Haydonites outside the Haydonite War campaign set on
Haydon V should severely restricted by the GM. The Haydonites
tend to hunt down those with access to their technology and
terminate them with extreme prejudice.

Another bit of Haydonite technology that the humans fighting
on Haydon V got from Veidt were advanced spacesuits. The
Haydonites themselves had not actually used this design in
more than five million years as it was leftover from the time
when they still had actual biological bodies.
Like all other armors in the galaxy, the technological
underpinnings are based on ancient Haydon bio-technology. It
was Zor who resurrected this into Robotechnology and the two
are indistinguishable. The same bio-fiber and light bio-metal
mess weave protects the user, but Haydonite nanotechnology
improves it far beyond normal.
The most surprising aspect of this suit, to the humans who
used them, was the fact it included no integrated helmet or
breathmask. Instead, when pressure drops, even suddenly in a
catastrophic manner, the suit generates its own magnetic field
to create an atmosphere beneficial to the wearer. It also acts to
control the temperature of the user to prevent either overheating
or freezing. The magnetic field also acts as filter for direct
sunlight, preventing the user from being blinded. The
atmosphere is constantly regenerated, preventing the user from
dying to due to asphyxiation. Like the Warrior's Robes, there is
a built-in FTL comm system that responds to the user's mental
prompting.
Built into the left forearm gauntlet is a sensor unit and
microcomputer. It is capable of measuring a wide array of data
and projecting a readable holo-display. Like the communications
unit, the user needs only to mentally prompt it.
Its use by non-Haydonites outside the Haydonite War
campaign set on Haydon V should severely restricted by the
GM. The Haydonites tend to hunt down those with access to
their technology and terminate them with extreme prejudice.
