An ArchAngel (Layer 6 and 7 of the armor seen)^
The ArchAngel armor is a type of Powered battle armor developed by Phoenix Dynamix and used exclusively by The Phoenix Milita. The term: ArchAngel refers to the actual armor system, the soldier who wears it and the military unit he is a part of.
Contents
The Unit
The ArchAngels, officially the "407th Archangels" are one of the best trained, best equipped and expertly staffed units in the entire military. The ArchAngels draw their members almost exclusively from the ranks of the KOP, although the SPX, and other special operations units are occasionally drawn from. To earn the title of ArchAngel, an estimated 3 years of training must be completed, and only 90 days of that is dedicated exclusively to familiarization with the armor system. ArchAngel training has a 70% attrition rate, and there have been 14 training deaths and one murder over the course of its history. Only men between the ages of 21 and 23 are eligible to begin ArchAngel training, so no new ArchAngel is younger than 24 or over the age of 26. All archangels must retire at age 36, and as such, maximum service duration as an ArchAngel is 12 years.
The Man
The ideal candidate for the Archangel program is a 21 year old, second born son, single, combat experienced, private first class Knight of the Phoenix. Once accepted as an ArchAngel candidate, the soldier must cut all ties to friends and family for the entire 3 year training period. Upon completion of training, a custom ArchAngel suit is built for the new ArchAngel. The new ArchAngel must participate directly in a number of final phases of the suit's construction and assembly.
The Armor
The ArchAngel Armor is highly advanced and much more than body armor. In additon to providing ballistic, blunt force and fire protection, the suit can sustain its wearer's body for several days, and protect him from the hazards of radiological, chemical and biological warfare. A number of helpful substances --such as food, water and drugs-- can be administered via an oral tube, IV line, Injector ports and automatic needle injection. The system has advanced sensors and nightvision capabilities as well as a GPS system and real time spy satellite image feed capability.
