Environmental Pack

The Environmental Pack System was invented by Corbenic Corperation as an adaptation of the Tactical Pack System used by previous generations of the TAU series. While the Tactical Packs focused on supplying weapons for different combat situations, the Environmental Packs were designed for different environments, both for military and non-military use.

CBR-OEP-01 High-Manoeuvre Space Pack: The system is the most commonly used TAU Enforcer pack. The pack consists of a back-mounted IAJE (Impulse Assisted Jet Engine) along with additional ion thruster packages on the lower legs. The IAJE, while largely phased out due to the flexibility of the MAJE, actually performs better in space, which is what it was originally designed for.

CBR-OEP-02 Re-Entry Drop Pack: Designed for quick deployment to a planet’s surface, this pack mirrors the capability of YAN’s REBS units. The system consist of protective shells which attach to the shoulders and back, which can enclose to protect a battlesuit from the ravages of re-entry. The system includes energy field generators for additional protection, as well as thrusters to decelerate the craft before terrestrial impact. The pack cane be jetisoned once planetside to reduce weight.

CBR-OEP-03 Hazardous Environment Armour Pack: Designed for use in asteroid fields, gas giants and intensive combat, the HEAP adds a layer of armour on top of the battlesuit, extra weapons, and thrusters. The amour consists of 30cm blocks of Magnanium alloy, each being able to take a hit or two. This armour also features a pair of homing plasma launchers in the chest, another in back, as well as an additional two rockets in the shield. The battlesuit’s rifle is replaced with an RFPAC-Lancer 470 Plasma Repeater mounted on the left arm. While the system adds thrusters, the armour is also quite bulky, and access to most hangar-stored weapons is blocked until pieces of armour are removed. The armour is jetisonnable, but cannot be re-equiped in the middle of combat.
