Fully Armored BDU: EVO/C

Extravehicular Operations/Combat mode is an additional layering on the BDU, including condensed oxygen and re-breather gear, power supply, nutrients, liquid filtration/supply systems, environmental maintenance and micro gravity equipment for extended duration activity and combat in space and extremely hostile environments.

For enhanced mobility, it incorporates the following systems:

Rapid Cycling Maglock Boots-
These allow a Marine to reach near running speeds while still being safely connected to a ship hull. There are also RCM surfaces on the suits finger tips gloves, as well as a standard cycle maglock surface on the Marine's back, allowing a Marine to attach to a hull or surface in a variety of secure positions.

Grappling Array -
using balanced super conducting magnets on a mono-filament cable, this system allows a Marine to latch on to ships and hulls, and be pulled towards them. Standard length of cord is 150 feet, though greater length can be established.
The system has tremendous tensile strength, and a minimal energy signature, but is vastly less effective in any environment but the micro gravity cold of space.

Enhanced Mobility System -
a multi directional magnetic propulsion system, mounted on the back that allows the wearer, through very brief firings, to make radical movements for dodging and improved hand to hand in the Micro gravity environment.

Regular EMS training is essential, as failure to properly judge speed and distance or loss of orientation can lead to serious injury.
Sustained and long distance movement is achieved with a detachable rocket motor or standard personal propulsion units, or can be expended in an emergency burn
