armor description

“According to the specs,” continued Doc, “these suits are coated with an off-market hardened shell built with layers of heat-resistant and shock-absorbing blends of natural and synthetic fibers. Similar in concept to Kevlar, Nomex, and Technora, but at least two or possibly three orders of magnitude more durable. This is a whole new class of aramids, blending polymers, graphene, spider silk, and other composite materials. Frankly, fellas, I’ve never seen anything like this, and I suspect no one else has. It’s new, and it’s almost certainly proprietary tech that is, or will soon be, the cornerstone of Kuga’s line of equipment for the PMC trade.”

“Not sure the good Lord himself could penetrate this stuff,” said Doc. “There’s a whole set of test results insisting that this thing can take an RPG in the chest and keep going.”
