WeaponsMk1 RifleA .303 caliber bolt action rifle with an attached bayonet. Sturdy, reliable, and the bayonet won’t rust when exposed to water. As the propellant has its own oxidizer, allowing the weapon to fire in vacuum with little issue.
Costs: 1 ore, 1 organics Cheap- APA rifle grenade
A simple rifle grenade with an impact fuse. Useful at hitting targets behind cover. Costs: 2 organics, 1 ore Expensive
Dirty gunA crude SMG with a tendency to jam. The low caliber ammunition can’t penetrate anything except the faceplate area of the basic LSF1 suits, but with the number of bullets it sprays, that frequently doesn’t matter. Can shoot in space.
Cost: 1 ore CheapSuitsLSF1-ExoA survival suit with a powered exoskeleton attached. It’s lightly armored, with a few simple plates being it’s main defense, but it can handle everything from underwater combat to the vacuum of space. The enhanced strength is also great as it allows for brutally effective melee combat. The attached exoskeleton grants a 1.25x boost in strength compared to the average human, and allows people to safely carry larger loads without killing themselves. The suit it’s based off of is manufactured en masse by the automatic systems aboard the arcology as a standard survival suit, said suit could be used as the basis for future power armor, as it provides a solid life supporting base we could strap further enhancements to.
Cost: 1 ore, 1 organics CheapLSF 1 life support survival suit:This mildly hardened suit, capable of surviving both vacuum and extreme depths, is mass manufactured by the automated systems up to a quota of 1 suit per person. These suits have mounting points for an optional exo rig, which both sides have taken advantage of. Unfortunately for those using it in combat, it has a large bubble helmet with lights on it that is Exceptionally vulnerable to being shot.
Consider this thing CheapWarrior M1A heavier, stronger exoskeleton. With Heavy armor, a new helmet design, and around double normal strength.
Cost: 3 ore, 1 organics Expensive[/b
Misc Gear
Survival kit:
A small set of stuff that comes with every suit, includes a large knife, multitool, emergency battery, emergency suit patch kit, flaregun, and a flashlight. Mostly useful for the knife and other miscellaneous gear. The knife is of decent quality, though not meant for combat which means its a little awkward to use in melee. Also cheap
Contherinal Biogel:
A Medical gel administered through a small handgun like apparatus. Heals gunshot wounds and seals up suits, but isn’t particularly useful in the field due to it not really being faster to grab and use than a suit patch. It does mildly improve survivability, but not by much. 1 Contherinal Expensive
Misc
Contherinal:
Contherinal is a miracle substance when it comes to growing or altering living tissue. Though its origins are mysterious and alien, the substance is what allowed Europa to be colonized at all. Contherinal acts as raw material for genetic enhancements, as it's a mass of cells which lack many of the defense mechanisms that prevent foreign DNA from being implanted into the cells, which allows researchers to plug in new strands of DNA with ease. This, combined with a viral component that spreads the change, allows Contherinal to be used to sculp life into myriad new forms. Unfortunately it hasn’t been produced or harvested in large quantities. Which creates some limitations when it comes to large scale use. We suspect contherinal to possess greater potential than it lets on.
