COALITION CA-2 LIGHT 'DEAD BOY' ARMOUR
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL BODY ARMOUR
The famous Death's Head motif of the Coalition's armour and war
machines have struck fear in the hearts of its opposition for nearly 40
years. It has led to the soldiers being dubbed 'Dead Boys.' It is a
variation of an old infantry armour developed by the United States
military shortly before the time of Rifts. The processes and factories
for its creation were unearthed at Lone Star and has since been
duplicated at both Chi-Town and Free Quebec.
The armour is light-weight ceramic, with metal accents, bonded on a
molecular level, making it stronger than steel. Each suit offers
mega-damage protection and complete environmental systems, making it a
self-contained unit, like a space suit. There is no obvious design
distinction between this armour and the CA-1 Heavy Body Armour. All CS
body armour has the same design,only the head piece is different to
indicate rank and different divisions within the CS armed forces.
Typically, the CA-2 Body Armour is supplied to pilots, city police
forces, as well as for espionage type operations where slightly more
manoeuverability may be required.
