The Wohlstand Elite Armor Mk III represents the pinnacle of Wohlstandi powered suits for the Wohlstand Elite forces. With its release comes a variety of changes in the suits computing system and powering method. Below are the several details about key components in the battle armor.

Power Source:
The power source itself relies on a 'plate' shaped radioisotope battery than can last roughly 5 years without needing replace, and in use. This single radioisotope plate powers the whole suits system and has a radioactivity shielded placement slot on the back of the suit. There is also a coolant gel around this slot to mask the heat signature of the battery itself.

The Helmet:
The helmet itself has a wide array of special traits that improve the combat capabilities of the Wohlstand Elite. This helmet does have a HUD as well as other important features.

The projectile resistant visor has auto-polarization to adjust to changing light conditions on and off the battlefield. The helmet itself also has a motion tracking system, a thermal vision system, and a night vision system, all of which can be displayed on the HUD if selected.

The helmet also is the port for the neural interface system which when attached to the rest of the suit, greatly increases mobility of the elite, due to the link between the neural interface and the cybernetic system within the suit itself, allowing the suit to move at the speed of the Elites thoughts and thus making the elite stronger, faster, and almost completely dampening the weight effects of the armor.

Also this neural interface can have valuable data input into it, such as data stolen from enemies or methods of combat, allowing the soldier to learn tactics merely by uploading and replacing older tactics as they becom obselete.


The Layers of the Suit:
There are several layers of armor on the suit. Thes layers include the refractive composite alloy plating, the carbon nanotube mesh beneath the plating, the coolant gel layer, the EMP resistant layer, the cybernetic layer/neural interface layer, the radioactivity resistant layer, the chem resistant layer, the vacuum capability layer, and then the health monitoring and MediFoam dispensing layer.

The Medifoam dispensing layer and health monitoring layer is a layer that is linked to the HUD and monitors health as well as administering a special sterilizing, pain relieved, and semi-healing foam, to keep the soldier moving.

The vacuum layer makes sure that there are no air leaks and interlocks the suit so the soldier can breathe. When not in space, the suit opens several air ducts, with biological and chemical filters to allow normal oxygen take in, however, when in space, these valves close up and oxygen take is in taken from the oxygen dispensing tanks that can be attached when required for vacuum based combat. These tanks will last atleast 2-5 hours.

The refractive composite alloy disperses energy weapon effects and effectively stops small arms fire. The carbon nanotube layer also effectivley stops small arms fire for greater protection. Also the suit does have a cooling system which can be changed using the neural interface to activate the coolant gel.

Overall, the Wohlstand Elite Mk III armor is a system of protection, comfort, and enhancment for the Wohlstand Elite

The hopefully one and only bump.
