BTW were more like 27,000 years in the future, so far in fact it is uncertain which world humans originated. The entire galaxy has been colonized eons ago, though a few attempts were made we never scouted beyond our own galaxy.
The armor that all will be using is very advance and has several dozen features. It is a general galactic uniform for the military though each region customizes it in there own way; each soldier has their own custom preferences. The armor has 3 control functions, conscious, sub-conscious and un-conscious. It is 100% mentally controlled even down to aiming assist and firing controls. The armor slides out of a pocket dimension on the wearer, a single silicon chip is implanted in the wearer at the base of the skull this controls the entire suit. The armor is very resilient and can take prolong direct fire. It encases the wearer completely giving a pressurized seal but can slide away to seem to no longer exist. It has various HUD functions as well as interface options, such as a cable to interact with electronic equipment. Some variations have a passive stealth system coloring the armor to surroundings behind, some even regulate external armor temp to room temperature as too fool temp sensors. The armor increases normal body speed and strength and nearly all suits are designed with a jump jet pack for easier movement in space as well as making distance travel on ground easier. The suit can take the anti-pressure of space and a depth of nearly 3 miles underwater with no strain. A 10 hour air supply and a 16 gallon water tank are available in the suit to aid survivability as well as a water reclamation system for recycling waste as an emergency resort. The armor can exist in many states from only a small piece to half the body, full body or none, at the wearers will. Armoring, firing a weapon are examples of conscious functions, temperature regulation is an example of sub-conscious (like breathing, can be controlled or left alone), Power regulation within the suit would be an example of un-conscious. All armors have storage compartments that are removed, set on the ground and they expand. The can hold quite a lot. ORGANIC MATERIAL OF ANY TYPE CANNOT BE SHIFT WITH THE ARMOR, this kills infectious material as well as preventing smuggling of people. So don’t try to hide a pet in a tub
I’ll post my Char, his background and his armor to give a good example:
Name: Captain Edward N. Armstrong
Race: Human
Age: 37
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 230 Lbs
Background: Captain Armstrong comes from the Arcum Expanse, a large cluster of stars known for creating a field of electrostatic that interfere with normal sensors, because of this it’s a favored place for space pirates and smugglers. For the past twenty years the captain has been hunting them in an attempt to clean up his local space. He is a hard man built like a mountain with a glare that would make a meteorite run away. Gruff and arrogant he knows how to get the job done, most hate his attitude but with time under his command they eventually grow to respect and understand him, a sense of loyalty emerges. The Captain has a way of pushing people to become truly greater then they are bringing out the best in them and pushing them to be better. Nobody really knows what the N in the captains name is, many theorize but none dare to ask. He was offered the promotion to admiral several times and refused every time preferring to stay in the field. He has a streak of white in his short cropped hair despite his age. His Body, a tight knot of muscle, looks even more intimidating in his dark armor. He keeps his armor casual wearing it as a vest, boots and gauntlets with trousers and a simple shirt underneath. When fully armored though the dark platinum armor is a force to be reckoned with. It has an extended version of the jump pack that has short stubby wings giving temporary flight in atmosphere and increased maneuverability in water and space. On his left hand he has a shield and on his right a welding torch that can become a flame thrower. 2 grappling hooks 1 mounted on his right wrist the other on the back of his right elbow each have 600’ of line; this is often used to zip line from one place to another. On both arms he has a plasma cannon, static pulse emitter and a force beam, each can be charged to a level increasing their destructive potential by a magnitude of four. When the static pulse is struck by the force blast it detonates 3x stronger than normal and the emp discharge range is doubled. On his shoulders he has two mini-plasma gatling cannons firing ½ a standard round at a rate of 15 per second, at full speed, from each of the two ports on the weapons. His armor is capable of a light temporary stealth and he has a blade about 2 feet long that can extend from his right forearm. He likes to be called Captain or Sir, nothing else.
I'll post about the ship next.
