Light Armor
Speed: Fast Protection: Low
Weight: Light Max. Weapon Load: 3
Classified as light armor, Peltast offers the least resistance to weapon fire but gives the
wearer almost unrestricted mobility and freedom of motion. The armor jets on this
armor allow the wearer to traverse large distances in a single burst.
Medium Armor
Speed: Medium Protection: Moderate
Weight: Medium Max. Weapon Load: 4
Not quite light, not quite heavy, Hoplite falls in between the two extremes. While it
offers far more protection from weapon fire than Peltast, it does not have the jump
range the lighter armor offers.
Heavy Armor
Speed: Slow Protection: High
Weight: Heavy Max. Weapon Load: 4
The wearer of Myrmidon armor is essentially a miniature Herc, capable of taking
tremendous amounts of punishment. Conversely, this armor is extremely slow
and its armor jets will get it only a few meters off of the ground.
Weapon Descriptions
Many tribal weapons are centuries old; others are recent Imperial inventions that have made their way into the
Tribes’ arsenals. A large and varied choice of weaponry is available to the average tribesman.

Armor Descriptions
When it became apparent that the maintenance of a Herc would be prohibitive far from the confines of
the Human Empire, the tribes adapted and began wearing powered armors for combat. Armor augments
the strength and carrying capacity of the player, with heavier armors providing greater strength and
protection at the cost of agility.
There are three classes of armors worn by the tribes. Both male and female armors are available in light and
medium configurations, but heavy armor is unisex.
Armors can only be purchased at inventory stations at a cost of team energy, depending upon the armor.
Medium and heavy armors are more expensive than light armors.
