The nation of Sigma Octavus has begun to expand it's armed forces to space. We have been developing launch craft to transport soldiers to space. A number of our elit SOET troops have undergone space training and have been equipped with new armor and special mass-driver rifles. They are being called the Orbital Special Operations (OSO).

The suit is vaccum tight and still provides support against attacks. Ceramic plates and various metals are used in key positions to maximize protection to the soldier inside. It has an integrated booster pack for moving through space unassisted. The boots can be magnetized to create hold against the hulls of ships and the left gauntlet contains communication equipment.
