Compared to its modern counterpart, the EarthGov Security Suit, the Legionary suits are noticeably bulkier, as well as having exposed tubes and wiring. This design is intended to effectively protect the user's face from gunfire, shrapnel, and pressure released from exploding ordnance.īecause this suit was designed in the 23rd century - over 300 years ago, from Isaac's perspective - it is therefore, while surprisingly not yet an anachronism, regarded as an old piece of military memorabilia and sought after by collectors of antique military equipment. As a result, the helmet does not feature a full size visor, but rather two small view ports - one for each eye. The suit also utilizes a unique helmet design probably with the intention of exposing as little of the face as possible to hostile environment.

The suit is capable of protecting the wearer from both extreme arctic environments and the vacuum of space. This suit is reinforced with both fibrous flexible armor padding as well as various hardened armor plates that protect areas of the human body that do not flex or bend. First introduced in the Prologue, worn by privates Tim Caufman and Sam Ackerman, former CEC engineer Isaac Clarke and EarthGov SpecOps Sergeant John Carver acquire a pair of these suits during their mission into the Tau Volantis science and military facilities. Since then, the suit has been decommissioned, and has - for the past two hundred years - been a relic of S.C.A.F military history. The Legionary Suit is an armored exosuit that was last fielded by S.C.A.F. forces, this bulky suit is highly valued by collectors and historians.' -Suit Kiosk description Description ' Decommissioned military armor worn by twenty-third century S.C.A.F.
