I-101 General Service Armour
Peacekeeper Infantry in I-101 General Service Armour
I-101 General Service Armour is produced by the Perim Nealon Regal Group and is used in operations on planetary surfaces.
Combat Protection
Protection for the wearer is provided by a system of kevlar backed ceramic composite plates, with an additional layer of light weight inertron alloy incorporated into the helmet as well as protective plates over the body. Flexible dilatant material, designed to only become rigid when shear stress is applied, is used to provide protection around joints and between plates.
While the I-101 armour is relatively lightweight and flexible, this comes at the expense of protective capability. While the helmet, chest, and back plates present a high level of protection against most small arms fire, protection of the limbs and around the wearer's joints in particular remains limited. As such, I-101 General Service Armour is generally issued to Peacekeepers, military engineers, and support personnel while infantry tasked with assault duties as primary combatants are generally issued I-210 Assault Armour.
Environmental Survivability
I-101 armour is fully rated for operations in vacuums or other extreme environments, and carries an onboard supply of air, water and nutritional paste, and a basic waste diversion system.
Other Information
The armour's helmet mounted heads-up-display may provide to the wearer communications and navigation information, as well as data from the helmet mounted LIDAR such as range-finding information or identification of designated vehicles based on silhouette.
I-101 General Service Armour typically features general purpose MultiCam pattern camouflage, but is also issued in flat black for use by Military Police or by Peacekeeper Command.
