CATSuit Series I

CATSuit - Comprehensive Armor, Tactical Suit

First production series entered service with MASA in the mid-1980s. A CATSuit integrates combat electronics, life support systems, light armor, power supply, and a light powered exoskeleton into a cohesive whole. The dark sleeves and legs are made of a rubberized Kevlar type material; the torsso is composed of layered plastic armor over a titanium backing; power cables, pressurizaation tubes, and sensor wiring run through the hollow cores of the exoskeleton frame sections.

Also shown is a Chainmore</> -CHAINsaw ClayMORE- instead of my usual Plasma Cutter.

notes on the page include me trying to figure out what the acronym -FELIS- i gave 's Tetrarak version of the CATSuits mean; and the fact that Series I (Mark II, Mark I being the prototype series) only had three Modular Enhancement Weapon Systems (MEWS) -TOMCAT, Standard; WILDCAT, CQC specialised; and TIGER, heavy armor/weapons. Heavy being relative.

CATSuits are normally issued to MASA marines and pilots, not UE Army or surface navy, as they are the ones most in need of -and most able to use- the compact integrated systems.
