ΒΆ Voidsuits
A void suit is special suit worn that is designed to protect against the void of space, extreme temperatures, radiation, and more. The invention of advanced polymers and other technological advances have allowed space suits to become smaller and more compact. The best voidsuits feel no heavier than wearing a jacket and jeans, and are also designed to fit armor plating inside the outer layer. Voidsuits come with helmets and typically a pack worn on the back or belt, which can contain a variety of features such as air supply or EVA microthrusters that allow for movement in microgravity. A strong airtight sealant made of advance polymer keeps the suit sealed from vacuums, and other layers provide insulated. Voidsuits are also typically lined with cerulium to shield against lower level radiation.
General voidsuits may not be suited (pun intended) for some particularily extreme environments, such as planets where the temperature is too high or low for most voidsuits, or where radiation may be too high. For this case, special suits or modules can be utilized for specific defense against these conditions, such as backpack projected hardlight shields designed to absorb ionizing radiation or shield against chemicals, or advanced coolant or heating systems to protect against extreme temperatures.
Explorers using voidsuits should be weary not to let their voidsuit suffer damage while in use. Though voidsuits are built to be fairly tough, weapons can potentially damage them. If a voidsuit is cut or punctured it can cause it to depressurize, and damage to its electronic systems can be fatal when in use. Spacers and explorers can mitigate disaster by being prepared; sealant tape or foam to seal suit puncutres, spare batteries, etc. can be the different between life and death.
