The PA-127 is a new line of power-assist armor to be created under Steel Fish's deffence contracts. The PA-123 is capable of provideing a soldier with supperior protection from shrapnel and most small arms fire, continutous vital sighns readings that can be relayed back to the command center, and the ability to carry more firepower into combat than a squad of regular infantry. Direct neural interface ensures reaction-time and weapon accuracy are not sacrificed, while the modular design is easaly custom outfited for any neccessary opperation and easaly repaired in the field. All of this, and it is still at a low enought price that even private ownership is possible.

Standard issue armament for military sales consists of a replaceable Diamond Rose 6.5mm assault rifle atatched to the right arm via generic mounts and a 20mm grenade launcher integral to the left bracer. The custum, high-power 6.5mm round is exceptional at penetrateing personal bodyarmor, and even some light vehicle armor. It can be outfited with a large variety of special issue weaponry rangeing from anti-tank rocket launchers to flamethrowers. All weapon control in manual for that extra reliability and assurance that your soldiers will be able to use any weapon they need to.

The armor consists of "hard" composite armor in areas where flexibility is not needed, while the joints are joined with a synthetic mesh. This mix of "soft" and "hard" armor, of which any piece is easaly replaceable, ensures the soldier's critical areas, such as the chest and head, recive maximum protection without hindering movement more than neccessary

The PA-127 takes advantage of advances made in minitureizeing power-sources by reciveing power from 3 replacable microgenerators that weigh in at only 3 lbs. each, but are indevidualy capable of powering the suit continuously for 48 Hours each. In the event of a total system failure, the modular design assures the suit can be quickly abbandonded. To avoid total system failure, please avoid loading Windows 2020 for OS of the onboard computer.

Helmets come in several varieties includeing the Basic that only includes the Neural pug, the HUD which allows soldiers to monitor squadmates, and Extra-visual spectrum for thermal and night vision.
