OOC: Ive been kinda bored today, so I thought why not sell the power armor I issue my troops? The following design specifications are not very detailed, but thats ok, because it only took me 15 minutes to do all three ;)

Raptor Aerial Assault Armor

The Raptor Aerial Assault Armor (R3A) is the result of a general need for mobile, fast, and deadly infantry that the current generation of Marines just couldn’t meet. Several years of research has culminated in the R3A Mark I.

The R3A Mark I mounts a Heavy Pulser in it’s right arm that has an effective range of 350 meters, a plasma-thrower in its power claw that can roast a tank crew while they are still inside their tank, and a power claw that can rip through reinforced concrete. Its twin thrusters provide enough lift to send the trooper over four miles, and its armor can withstand glancing blows from 125mm high-velocity rounds.

The suit is festooned with various sensors, including thermal, IR, motion, lowlight, and several others. Because the backpack mounted fusion reactor blocks the trooper’s rear view, a camera has been installed that runs a constant video-feed to the helmet’s HUD.

Here are the specifications:

Tactical Armor, Powered

The Tactical Armor, Powered (TAP) is the standard power-armor issued to Marine forces. It incorporates all of the gear the infantryman used to have to pack around into one solid, armored suit that can protect the wearer from most threats the battlefield can throw at them.

The armor is highly adaptable, with slots for personal shield generators, upgraded fusion reactors, and heavy weapons, among other things. The synthetic musculature present in the under-layer can double, or even triple the strength of the trooper inside.

Here are the statistics:

Salamander Heavy Support Armor

The Salamander Heavy Support Armor is the king of the powered armors. Weighing in at more than five tons, this behemoth can decimate entire platoons of infantry without any trouble. The suit comes equipped with its own scouting and heavy weapons droids, which attach to the armor on the shoulders, and twin heavy plasma-throwers.

The armor is very fast, due to the increased size of the power cables running to its legs and the powerful gripping claws that replace the suits boots.
