Cybersuit

A cybersuit is an advanced form of body armor which is made of nanomaterials. The suit appears to be a simple skin tight vacc suit with an integrated pack. The suit is constructed of multiple layers of various armor materials enhanced with nano-motors which allows the fabric of the suit to act as an artificial muscle. Pressure sensors on both the inside and outside of the suit allow the user to wear a cybersuit without encumbrance. It can be adjusted to enhance the users strength or operate at the users natural strength. The suit provides armor and radiation protection.
Since cybersuits are made of self-adjusting smart materials one size basically fits all. The suit will adjust itself to fit whoever dons it. The surface of the suit is a dynamic instant chameleon surface which can absorb sunlight to provide power. An integrated D cell in the back pack can provide power for over 24 hours when there is no sunlight. It is infrared cloaked and radar stealthy. Like many smart materials it has limited self repair capability, utilizing a nanotech gel layer buried among its other layers.
The helmet can be absorbed or extruded from the suit on command. When sealed the suit provides full air filtration capability, against chemical and bio weapons.  As long as it has power the suit can recycle bodily wastes and carbon dioxide, giving it an extended air and water supply. The suit has full temperature control, provides hearing protection has a multivisor sensor system and HUD. A short range radio allows communication even in space. Tactical systems include an Electronic Countermeasures System.
The suit contains an advanced tactical computer system.
Cybersuits are the standard field armor of the Rangers, who typically wear skinsuit vacc suits at other times. They are also the most common form of light military armor worn by members of the Star Legion when they are not engaged in heavy combat. For that they wear warsuits.
Military users often augment the cybersuit with a personal force screen belt. The solar recharging power of the cybersuit can be used to operate the personal force field indefinitely, as long as there is sunlight. In dark or shadow field operation is limited to 15 min.
