((There are several types of air-tight masks.))
((You can have only the eyes have visor (makes it look like a gas mask), the entire faceplate, or one piece for each eye (looks like an older gas mask).))
((Some sci-fi universes have faceplate visors everywhere, while others have lots of the ones with eyes. You have faceplate ones at places, but I'd think that it makes sense for it to vary depending on purpose.))

((Heck, even the coverage of the faceplate can vary.))

[_DivideByZero_]

((A full faceplate is more resistant to internal pressure and is thus less likely to fail.

I suppose the main advantage of a mask that sticks close to the face like a gas mask is that it would turn with your head and thus give you better combat awareness. It would also keep your head from bouncing around your helmet when you are hit. So that's probably ideal for a combat suit.))

The Supreme Motors Corporation and the Lord's Motors Corporation

After the 3rd war, the mutants got in touch with the Supreme Motors Corporation, who, after studying the planet, made a lot of really good vehicles.
There was the Savanna Caravan, the most dominant truck in the Grand Savanna, it is powerful, sturdy, reliable, and has a lot of capacity.
The Lizardmen f***ing love these, heck, everyone loves them, since they let you transport things across the Grand Savanna, rather than around (by boat).
Then there's the Swamp Tank, which is an armored hovercraft, so it can provide support even on the most treacherous terrain, they're big, strong, tough, reliable, and has a mean cannon.
The Ultra Werewolves, Strong-arms, and Speartails are frequent pilots of these vehicles, as they're made for them (Goliaths can't fit though, and they're too heavy).

Then, third and finally, there's the Snow Scooter, cheap, reliable, powerful, and versatile, if the Werecats bought anything, it was this.
While the Supreme Motors Corporation didn't earn a whole lot from the Werecats, they did get on better terms with the Werelizards, who did frequent trade with the Werecats.
The Werecats previously moved most things by foot, which took time, but the Snow Scooter allowed them to transport goods faster, so their economic situation improved.
While most of the way is by sea or air, they can only go from airports and seaports, so they need to be transported via land, and trucks don't fare well in the Arctic North.
Then the CEO was replaced, and they started cutting some costs... morons. In order to make production cheaper, they reduced the quality, and disregarded important research.

The new Savanna Caravans broke down, got sand stuck in their air intakes, began to rust near the sea, lost motor power, etc.
This led to Lizardmen sitting by the road half the time to get the trucks working, which stifled trade, and lots of other things.
The new Swamp Tanks started rusting en masse, their armor cracked and crumbled, their skirts broke, and they started sinking into the swamp.
And the new Snow Scooters got unreliable and their prices raised, even though the Werecats could afford more now, those prices, were just too much.
Mutants started to make their own vehicles, they were worse than the original Supreme Motors vehicles, but they were better than the new ones.

Then one of the Lords, Zak "Motorlord" Gregory Xylia, decided to reverse engineer the original Supreme Motors vehicles, and copy them.
The product, wasn't quite the same, but way better than the competition, and Lord's Motors Corporation was born, and they were really successful.
It took years for the Supreme Motors Corporation to notice it's losses, and by then, their good reputation for quality, was stolen by Zak Gregory, who was then called; Motorlord.
The Supreme Motors Corporation soon went bankrupt, and Lord's Motors took it's place, but they're now busy trying to reach the original Supreme Motors' quality.
There is currently a hefty bounty for live Supreme Motors engineers and intact schematics, for they alone hold the secret of the Supreme Motors' quality.

Some smaller companies also try to copy the Supreme Motors Corporation, but fail, only a handful are still standing, and the only reason why, is because they managed to obtain some of those secrets, and create specific parts better than anyone else.

The Space-cats

The Space-cats are 4th generation mutants descended from the Relentless Werecats, they were thought to be normal at first, but with some slight enhancements.
Their legs could handle longer falls, but this rarely saw any use, as there weren't a lot of long falls, they could jump higher (10 feet), but that didn't help avoiding bullets in a flat plain.
They could also turn mid-air without touching anything. These slight enhancements gave them an edge, but nobody saw their full usefulness.
Then a Space-cat got sent into space, where their true potential was discovered, in zero-G the turning let them orient themselves where others needed a wall to grab or more time to do so.
While jet packs could let them turn, the Space-cats' mutations did a far better job at it, the stronger jumps and better shock absorption let them reach higher speeds and safely stop.

It's theorized that they appeared in the 2nd war, because of their space-specialized mutations, but it's also possible that they excelled enough from slight enhancement alone.
Spaceships of the Steel Dragon Empire primarily use Space-cats and Speartails for soldiers, and for ship security, so a lot of Space-cats go to space SPAAACE.
The Space-cats mostly look like Relentless Werecats, but their hair doesn't have the same fluffiness, though this can be fixed by infecting them with Fluff.

Warlord Keki "Steeldragon" Henry Conrad and the Cartha System

Warlord Keki Henry is a heavily augmented Dragon who is the most powerful warrior on P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob), she has dedicated her entire life to fighting.
When the Eagle company sent their troops on the planet, Keki Henry was there to fight them... the Eagles didn't even stand a chance.
Training is top priority within the Steel Dragon army, which consists of the best fighters on the planet, mostly Dragons, and if anyone would surpass Keki Henry, then they'd take over for her.
Warlord Keki Henry is one of 3 Warlords, but she's also the only Lord that doesn't own land, the other Lords just give things to her because they fear her.
While she's not a Space Admiral, she does have a private fleet, courtesy of the Space Admirals.

The mutants have colonized other planets in the Cartha system, which is where the planet of P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob) is.
There's Arc, a cold barren world with easy access to metals, then there's Muspel, a giant planet with a lot of heavy metals, but it's surface temperature is so hot you'd be boiled alive.
And finally there's Nifl, a gas giant which holds mutant colonies in orbit, it's the main source of gasses, and fusion fuel. There are a total of 9 terrestrial planets and 3 gas giants, and a ton of asteroids.
The Cartha system's sun, Artha (sometimes called Cartha), is a yellow giant, with 4 terrestrial planets too close to be lived on by terrestrial life, 3 terrestrial planets in the CHZ, and the rest in the cold part.

The Cartha system is owned by the Steel Dragon Empire. While Warlord Keki Henry doesn't own any land, she's the one who holds ultimate authority, her word is law.
All colonization within the Cartha system has to be approved by Warlord Keki Henry, failure to comply will result in termination. There are non-mutant colonies, but they live at the mercy of the mutants after most of the private military companies got chased out of the system.
When someone is exiled off P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob), they're also exiled out of the Cartha system, but it's unlikely they'll be caught anywhere other than Bob.

Nocturne Vulcanus and the Cartha Resistance

A terrestrial planet in the CHZ of Artha, but still difficult to survive on because of the volcanic activity, which blocks out the sun very often.
It's unknown why this planet still have a lot of volcanic activity, though it seems that it could have been caused by something outside the Cartha system.
It's a possible home to the Cartha Resistance, but it's hard to find anything among the smoke and magma on this world.
No ships have been seen exiting it's atmosphere, but there are colonies there, so it's likely that they have stealth technology.

The planet is inhabited by Humans, though there are signs of other races, new colonies are being discovered, but many are decoy colonies, meant to distract the mutants.
While no Cartha Resistance members have been found on Nocturne Vulcanus, the Steel Dragon Empire still thinks they're there.

The Cartha Resistance fights the Steel Dragon Empire's tyranny in the Cartha system, their actions are often sabotage and kidnapping, though they've yet to discover the Sludge Smuggling scheme of the Space Admirals.
The Steel Dragon Empire is made up of mutants from P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob), it's named after Warlord Steeldragon, who holds absolute authority.
Mutants are favored in the Cartha system, and anyone who's not one are likely to be murdered or abused (though mutants are also likely to be murdered).
It's a difficult situation, while the Steel Dragon Empire is the aggressor, it's also their home system, and it's easy for the non-mutants to leave the Cartha system.

Broken regeneration and inferiority complex
Broken regeneration and inferiority complex affect the Speartails, but the Werecats also suffer from inferiority complex.

The regeneration of Ultra Werewolves and Salamanders is perfect, but somehow when the Speartails got their faster regeneration, flaws can occur.
If a Speartail strains it's body too much, it can cause body parts to regenerate as misshapen hunks of flesh, the regeneration will keep regenerating the parts this way.
This is called broken regeneration, and the most common reason for this occurring is overexertion, which is often motivated by their inferiority complex.
The only way to fix broken regeneration is harmonic amputation, which is done by cutting off the body part with a hot blade, which coagulates the tissue as well, to prevent regeneration.
Regeneration is stopped when the severing point is coagulated, it takes days for the regeneration to start up again, this time lets the regeneration stabilize itself.

Speartails excel at regeneration, but nothing else, almost all the other mutants remind them of how insignificant they are, being abused and easily replaceable doesn't help.
Inferiority complex can manifest itself in many ways, and about 95% of Speartails that reach the age of 11 suffer from it.
Some Speartails strive to make themselves less pathetic by rigorous training, but most get broken regeneration, followed by harmonic amputation, and then they do it all over again.
Others spend their lives in shame and self-loathing, not caring what they do as long as they survive, living autonomously, lifeless, doing whatever they're told.
But most suppress this by just killing people, the more gruesome, the better. These Speartails are what P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob) is known for.

Werecats also frequently suffer from inferiority complex, it happened because of being ruled over by stronger, faster, and more beautiful mutants who used them as slaves.
Though the Werecats deal with this by being more aggressive towards anyone they perceive as "superior", this also effectively made a Law of Jante, forbidding anyone from excelling.
All who excel must be humble, or the other Werecats will punish them, and they tend to label all other mutants as "superior", which fuels their xenophobic hatred of them.
The Werecats have a lot of hatred towards all who aren't them, except the humans, who learned their ways, and the Werecats are dependent of.
The Humans are the only ones to be labeled as "different", they acknowledge that they're better and worse at the same time, but it took years to develop this status.

The Steel Dragon Empire

The Steel Dragon Empire was founded after winning the 3rd war, and holds control over the Charta system, it's home planet is P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob).
Keki Henry, aka. Warlord Steeldragon, holds highest authority, even though she own no land, she effectively owns the entire Charta system.
The Space Admirals' fleets acts as the Empire's main line of defense, but if they were to ever fail, the Stardragon fleet would take over.
The Stardragon fleet is commanded by Keki Henry herself even though she's not a Space Admiral, it consists of the most powerful ships in the system.
The Steel Dragon army is the personal army of Keki Henry, consisting of the best fighters in the Charta system.

Members of any of Keki Henry's military forces automatically gets a title, and a steel band added to their mutant bracer.
The steel stripe for military service goes across from back to front, while the steel band goes around the bracer, both are put under the family insignia.
Common imports are new technologies, stolen or legally acquired, and cloth used for ribbons, common exports are mercenaries, exiles, and Sludges.
Merchants and traders are allowed into the Charta system, but mercenaries are only allowed under certain circumstances, and they're more strict on them with the Charta resistance at large.

Glitter

Glitter is hated by the mutants on P769-524-FF-67532-Gamma (Bob), as it's considered a cheap way to make things look better, despite being completely useless.
If anything has glitter on it, mutants will refuse to buy it, that is how much they hate glitter.
Putting glitter in a mutants hair is even worse, as they then do ritualistic cleaning to purify their body and soul of the glitter.
Never offer glitter to a Bob mutant.

Sludges hate glitter even more, as it tends to get stuck in their flesh a lot, they're even trying to get glitter banned in the entire Charta system.
Anyone who makes glitter are possible murder targets by the Sludge, as they HATE glitter.
If a Sludge gets glitter on their skin, it'll likely sink into their flesh, where it inflicts major damage. And it shines through, which is a turn off for most partners, a glittered Sludge is unlikely to get laid.

Evil Fluff

Evil Fluff is a cruel descendant of the Fluff, they're more slick to the touch, and they take over your mind, so they can use you for their plan of galactic conquest.
Evil Fluff is easily spotted, but sometimes they take over entire cities, when that happens, the Space Admirals just bombard it from orbit.
Fluff fight the Evil Fluff, but are at a disadvantage, also Evil Fluff don't share the Fluff's weakness to heat, so there's no easy way of getting rid of them.
The only way to clean away Evil Fluff is to overwhelm it with regular Fluff, it takes at least 5 times more Fluff to defeat Evil Fluff, so Fluff infected Fluff Dragons are important.
Evil Fluff, like regular Fluff, cannot infect Relentless Werecats, but can infect everything else.

Evil Fluff shares it's intelligence with it's host, so if it infects an intelligent life form with access to powerful technology, beware.
It's even been observed that Evil Fluff can control the psychic powers of psychic host, but a quick orbital bombardment solved that problem.

The Fluff Wagon is an APC with 8-12 Fluff infected Fluff Dragons in it, it's used to deal with Evil Fluff outbreaks, they throw the infected individual into the Fluff Wagon to be cleansed.
Purifying a mutant of Evil Fluff lets them give away information, as they keep their memories from when they were mind controlled.
The Fluff Dragons in the Fluff Wagon are completely naked, to let their Fluff better combat Evil Fluff, and let it do so faster.
Though they do have to get a lot of proteins, because the Fluff primarily uses proteins.
The APC itself has a powerful air condition system, to keep a cool temperature inside, even in the Grand Savanna.

Salute him, grab the cylinder and head back to base, pausing to thank the engineers along the way.

The wind continues to blow. Man, the trees are swaying wildly right now. They're probably made of some artificial material anyway, since outdoor plants don't grow well on the city ships. Most of the true forests die off when the ship leaves the local star's habitable zone, which is why the ship stopped over Askarian rather than the much more wealthy and prestigious Georgian moons.

[5] One of the engineers salutes, while the other simply states "All good."

You leave the site, wrapping your arm around the cylinder and hauling it with you. Now, you can take it to the workshop to figure out what it is, or you could just store it somewhere and perhaps go to hear what HQ is planning for their next moves. You wonder if the infiltration team is doing okay. Maybe they'll send you in as backup.

As you walk down the street, you take note that the wind isn't blowing all that noticeably. Perhaps the trees are shaking so much because of some physics effect due to their latitude on a rotating station. Maybe.

"Hammer time!"

Smack the crewman with the power hammer, and use the corpse as cover, it even has a handle (spear).

Initiative:
[2] Vax
[2] Alice
[1] Red Guy
[6] Flying Crewman

(3) vs [6] The crewman struggles against your spear. The fast-acting cement won't budge, however, keeping him firmly lodged at a safe distance on the spear.

[1+4-1] vs (2) You swing the crewman into the wall using your augmented strength, then bat him with the power hammer as he bounces off. The device is cordless, but is only designed to give a few small bursts before running out of power. Regardless, those bursts are incredibly powerful. As you slam it into the target's space suit, the hammer oscillates like a jackhammer, ripping apart the Crewman's life support module and providing enough force to dislodge him from your spear, although there's still a few chips of Vacuum Cement still attached to the weapon.

The Crewman resumes flying as his oxygen tank depressurizes, shooting him like a rocket across the enclosure.

(1) vs (3+2) Alice continues to suppress the Red Guy, but its accuracy is so low that the Red Guy is still able to peek out and take a few potshots before hanging back behind the plasma conduit.

(3) vs [6+2] Sludges are tough! The shotgun pellets hit a metal part of Alice's suit, dealing inconsequential damage. You are glad to have an aggro tank closely available.


Event: You don't hear it, but you can tell from the radio chatter that something just happened. The walls shake slightly.

"We got a shot from the spinal mount, over."
"It hit the boarding ship. Won't matter. Keep moving."
"It will be a problem if it keeps getting hit. Most of the pods haven't launched yet."

New Objective: Find and disable the Jolly Roger's spinal railgun.

A spinal railgun is a powerful weapon, capable of matching nuclear yields at similar cost. While nukes are better up front, railguns can cause more destruction in a package that is much harder (but not impossible) to intercept. Such a weapon typically requires massive cooling banks to keep the rails from expiring, and tremendous capacitors fed by plasma conduits. Sabotaging either will spell the end of its operation.

Baldr Combat Armor

The Baldr Combat Armor is an expensive but incredibly tough armor, it's used mostly by Lords and the Steel Dragon Army.
It can deflect particle beams, lasers, and at certain angles, even cannon fire. It comes in 3 configurations; Breastplate, Full Plate, and Thor.

Breastplate only cover the torso and pelvis, it's bulky and heavy, weighing 100 kg.
Full Plate provides full body coverage, but weighs 750 kg, it's also thicker than the Breastplate configuration.
Thor is a bigger and powered variant, it's much more expensive, only 3 have been made, and they're owned by the 3 Warlords, it's almost impenetrable, and weighs 5 Mg (or 5 tonnes).
The Thor variant also amplifies the strength of it's wearer to 5 times beyond Goliath levels, and it's plating is big and bulky. Even ship mounted weapons have problems damaging it.

The Sons of Ivaldi corporation

The Sons of Ivaldi is a corporation founded and run by mutants, more specifically, Dragons, and they create high quality armor and weapons.
Though their equipment is often said to be much too powerful, their weapons harm the wielder, and their armor weighs too much.
This problem is addressed in more advanced versions, but they're so over engineered that few can afford them.
All equipment the Sons of Ivaldi makes are hand crafted, only the greatest craftsmen are hired, and many Dragons aspire to join.

The Sons of Ivaldi names their products according to Norse Mythology, like the Baldr Combat Armor, the Gungir Armor Piercing Rifle, the Valkyrie Armor, etc.
There's little their weapons cannot kill and their armor deflect... if you can afford the most advanced stuff.

[_DivideByZero_]

((Ship mounted weapons would blow a moderately sized crater in the ground, so either that armor is not actually capable of tanking it or it really is that good.

I'd go with quantum entanglement nonsense since it's supposed to be expensive. And since a lot of the BS physics in this setting revolve around tachyon physics, how about the atoms in the armor are metastable baryon-tachyon pairs which create bonds that are heavily influenced by quantum mechanics. The result is that it doesn't deform like regular materials do, but rather breaks all at once when a specific energy threshold is reached. That energy threshold is only present for a very short period of time during impacts, and the armor's reaction force typically sends off impacting material in the opposite direction, preventing the energy from spreading beyond the impact point. The result is an almost inconsequential crater in the armor.

The armor is weakest against pulsed laser weapons which deliver high-energy pulses at a fast rate, drilling through the armor much more quickly than traditional firearms, particle, or plasma weapons. This effect is not enough to make lasers a true counter, since the rate of ablation is still very low, and the laser must hit perpendicular to the surface due to the material's high critical angle.


Of course, this is just a suggestion for the technobabble physics behind exotic armor. This sort of thing would be very effective on a ship, now that I think of it... but since it's so hard to make, that restricts it to small craft.))

The Gungir is a rifle made by the Sons of Ivaldi, it's made to combat Goliaths and tanks, but can also pierce Baldr Full Plates, it's a 1,5 meter long railgun.
The force of the Gungir makes it only usable by people wearing power armor of some sort, as even Goliaths gets dislocated arms by it.
Only dedicated anti-armor forces of the Steel Dragon Army own these, a total of 27 have been made.

The Mjølnir Shotgun is a ridiculously powerful energy shotgun also made by the Sons of Ivaldi, that fires a single blast capable of throwing cars up to 100 meters away, after tearing them to pieces.
Unless you wear heavy armor, you'll be thrown the other way, there are 5 of these, but 3 of them are owned by Warlords, who are the only ones that can effectively use them thanks to their power armor.
It also causes a lot of heat on it's target, easily melting any metal with a single blast from 2 meters away.
The other 2 are owned by Lords, one who proudly display it, while the other tries to find out a way to use it without being thrown across the room.
While The Baldr Thor armor weighs 5 Mg, it's not enough on it's own, so it'll have to be anchored (magnetically or physically) into the ground before firing.

The Swiftsteps have padded digitrade legs, which lets them run silently and swiftly, they have eyes that can see in the dark, their skin has limited camouflage capability, and their hands and feet are clawed.

When a Bobite wants to know if someone's a Sludge, they give them a Mantis Lord Riddle. There are many variations, but the most common one is the phrase: "Name of the Mantis Lord." .
Due to Jonathan Bính "Mantis Lord" Nguyen being well known on Bob, pretty much all Sludge know the answer, and all Bobites that leave Bob are taught a variety of Mantis Lord Riddles.

Underwear

For a long time, the Bobites went commando, but with the conclusion of the 3rd war, underwear began to reemerge.
Due to Speartails being the most numerous race on Bob, they had special panties made, since their tails made them uncomfortable using normal underwear.
Females were given underwear in the form of tail panties that had a hole for the tail to go through, but some of the other mutants had bigger tails, they instead had 2 straps that were joined with a clasp above the tail.
Males weren't given specific underwear, so some just used the female's underwear (cross-dressing), but most just go commando.

Werecats had tails roughly the same thickness, with without the 'wings', so their panties have smaller tailholes. It's one of few things the poor can afford.
Putting ribbons on the Speartail Panties is common, and most panties are made of silk.
There once was a human man suggesting the use of the tail hole on the panties for sexual acts, he was castrated and murdered.

Feminine males

Due to the healing drugs used, the Werewolf mutants' hormones were messed up, females were unaffected, but the males didn't gain very masculine features, they looked more like women than men.
The Werelizards in the Grand Savanna weren't affected as much by this, but there were some effect, and later generations are unable to grow beards.
In the 2nd generation of mutants, the Strong-arm mutants gained more masculine features for both genders, while the Ultra Werewolves got even more feminine, males and females were getting more and more similar over time, sexual selection didn't help either, favoring these feminine features among the Ultra Werewolves.
By the 3rd Generation, the Speartail males were quite feminine, even having visible breasts, though without any function, this mutation also came with less upper body strength.

The Mutant Kings preferred feminine Werecats to masculine ones, and selectively bred them all to have feminine features, leading to the Werecats also ending up with feminine males.
The Demonics wasn't as extreme as the Ultra Werewolves, but they still had feminine males.
The Salamanders has feminine males, the major distinguishable factor being that they're slightly less feminine than the females.
Dragons have their males kinda neutral, neither feminine or masculine.
Fluff Dragons males however, are almost identical to females.

This has led to many outsiders confusing males for females, with hilarious results. Also, only Strong-arms, Goliaths, and Wyrms can grow beards.
The Goliath mutants suffer from the opposite problem, having masculine males and females, and females born without breasts.

Specific finger ribbons and the Venus Sword

Because of the difficulty distinguishing males and females on Bob, some systems have been set up.
Males in the Greater Fernswamp favor having their ribbon bow on their right hand middle finger, and tends to be left handed.
Females use the left hand middle finger for their ribbon bow, and are often right handed, but in the Arctic North, this is reversed (with a piece of string, rather than a ribbon bow), which, after the 3rd war, caused a lot of confusion when their cultures started bleeding over.
Males and females started becoming inconsistent in their use of ribbon bows and hand favoring, so a new system had to be made.

The Venus sword is a symbol that females use, the cross-like shape of the sword grip and cross guard hints towards the cross in the Venus symbol, which is considered feminine.
Females also tend to favor swords with cross guards and winged spears, and this makes it easier to spot actual females.
Some also have swords shown on their clothing and ribbons in some way, to show their gender while unarmed.
Unlike the finger ribbon system, this system isn't exclusive to Werecats and Speartails.

Archery and daggers

Archery and dagger usage is considered manly on Bob, as arrowheads look a bit like the Mars symbol's arrow, and it's pointing diagonally upwards, like you often do when firing from a distance.
Daggers is more of a movie thing, with men in movies (Commando, Riddick, Rambo, etc.) shown either wielding a gun or a knife, bowie knives are most popular, but ulaks are quite close, due to practicality.
In the often urban fighting on Bob, Ulaks are more practical than bowie knives, as their blades protect the hand while it's technique is punching oriented (though stabbing is also viable).

But most use guns whenever they can, as surviving is top priority.

The Dáinsleif's aura also disrupts regeneration, so it takes days for regeneration to occur, making it ideal for fighting Speartails.
It's named after a sword, which when drawn, must kill a man before sheathed, will never fail to do so, and all wounds it inflicts, even if it's a scratch, will never heal.

9 Dáinsleifs have been made, and each has slain over a hundred men.

((Actually, being a movable object means no dispersion of force. You take a hit and you are sent flying, spinning, or whatever. A person in armor that can tank artillery would probably be forced into the ground by artillery fire, but if the armor is as strong as stated, it should be able to just redirect it into the ground.))
