VAJRA Powered Assault Armor
The VAJRA Powered Assault Armor was created in parallel to the Brain Charger project and is among the most technologically advanced piece of hardware in Ventus hands. It can provide a Brain Charger with an incredible amount of protection, speed, and strength all powered by a limited Sakuradite Fusion Generator. The on-board computer system relays basic tactical information including IFF tags, a Motion Tracker, weapons information and health and energy shield level readouts. The VAJRA system is capable of carrying an A.I which can provide tactical data on the fly. While VAJRA Armor has all these advantages, only Brain Chargers are capable of controlling it. The speed and power behind it is too great for a normal soldier. The latest variant, MK VII, is both shielded with Radiant Wave Technology and is inner armored with advanced multilayer Cilcila alloy armor as well as a titanium alloy outer shell and a layer of hydrostatic gel. In addition, it contains a reactive metal liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding which increases the strength, reaction time, mobility, speed, and all around physical performance of the Brain Charger. Some variants carry plasma swords imbedded in several sockets on the armor, but this is up to personal preference.
Components
Helmet: The helmet is one of the most vital aspects of the VAJRA system. It is made of Titanium and contains key features like a Heads Up Display that links to the brain and hands, and can identify equipment and display information about it when it is picked up by the wearer. Another feature is the direct neural interface system which connects to a Brain Charger's neural implants. Two core processor chips are implanted into the subjects skull in the rear of the head. This is essentially comparable to an on board computer using parts of the Ventus brain for processing - when the connector at the rear of the subjects head and receptors in the brain link to the helmets on board sensors it creates the neural link needed to move the VAJRA suit. The helmet also contains other equipment to protect and aid the user in hostile conditions. This includes: filters to remove toxins from the atmosphere, a supply to provide air to the wearer during EVA, thermal and motion sensors, communications, solar-powered lighting, and imaging and video gear. The helmet also contains the A.I housing, where an A.I chip is inserted, located on the back of the helmet.
Titanium Alloy Outer Shell: The outer shell of the VAJRA armor is comprised of a fairly thick titanium alloy. This plating covers the chest, arms, hip, legs, calves, feet and hands. This alloy is very resilient, can take significant punishment, and is nearly impervious to small arms fire. While enough shots from armor piercing rounds will breach the outer shell, the suit can take a few glancing blows from them without compromising the armor. The outer shell of the all VAJRA suits is covered with a refractive coating to help disperse the heat experienced from energy weapons. However several hits from any Plasma weapon will compromise the armor plating.
Cilcila Nanocomposite Bodysuit: Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a thick black armored bodysuit. This suit has numerous functions, small but vital to the safety and survival of the wearer. The bodysuit is made of a Cilcila-based material, making it very strong and yet very flexible. It also serves as another layer of protection against ballistics attacks and is coated with a heat resistant material to disperse heat from Plasma weapons.
Hydrostatic Gel: Underneath the armored bodysuit is a gel-filled layer, this gel layer regulates the temperature of the suit and can reactively change its density to conform to the wearer's shape - the temperature inside the suit is controlled by the moisture absorbing cloth suit underneath the hydrostatic layer. The hydrostatic gel layer can also be pressurized to various levels to potentially save the wearers life should the wearer be subjected to high G forces or a high velocity impact.
Reactive Metal Liquid Crystal Layer: Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding, the liquid crystal layer of the suit is split into two sections that forms the inner structure of the suit. The first layer contains the Reactive Metal Liquid Crystal this reactive metal increases the strength, reaction time, mobility, speed, and all around physical performance of the Brain Charger. The section layer supports suit's Artificial intelligence, knitted together at a molecular level and fitted in between the outer plates and the inner padding. This type of computer memory is usually outfitted on a warship and as such this layer accounts for over seventy percent of the VAJRA armor's cost of construction and materials.
Magnetic Weapon Holder Strips: The magnetic strips are very small yet powerful magnets place on the legs, waist, and back of the suit and is used to hold any equipment with a magnetic property. The suit also contains a magnet system on the boots of the VAJRA suit that allow its wearer to stay attached to a metal surface in Zero G environments and can be toggled on or off by the wearer.
Energy Shields: First used on the Mark V, and later improved on the Mark VI, the energy shield device is reversed engineered from Anari technology. A Radiant Wave System of a much higher quality than that of normal soldiers is in place, defending against any shot that a Brain Charger would be unable to simply dodge. The system is powerful, but some Brain Chargers will instead opt to use Absolute Defence System instead; a different shielding system that creates almost impenetrable hexagonal energy plates. Most Brain Chargers do not use this upgrade, however, as it both considerably depletes power reserves (possibly shutting the suit down during vital moments) and requires complex calculations to be made by an A.I to block attacks in a specific direction.
Pressure Seal: The pressure seal is a vital component to the VAJRA system, it keeps the system airtight, underwater or in space. The seal is very strong and will only break under extreme pressure, such as in a high velocity impact or when the hydrostatic gel has been over pressurised.
Automatic Biofoam Injectors: Introduced on the Mark VI, biofoam injectors are an integral part of the systems ability that keep a Brain Charger functioning in battle. Biofoam is a medical gel that is used to fill and seal a wound automatically, it is also used to treat any infection that could occur as a result of the wound. The process of injecting, or applying the gel to a wound is extremely painful and is only a temporary solution; medical attention must be sought soon after to ensure survivability.
Limited Sakuradite Fusion Reactor: The fusion reactor is the most essential part of the VAJRA system, as it provides power to all equipment on the VAJRA armor - the reactor is built into the suit and allows for nearly unlimited movement. The fusion reactor in all versions of the VAJRA armor are half the size of a normal fusion pack that conventional Ventus soldiers carry around.
Force-Multiplying Circuits: Located throughout the armor, these systems boost the force applied by the user. They make hand-to-hand combat easier, but also make the armor difficult to adjust to; a slight motion can be translated into a potentially harmful one if not conducted correctly. For this reason it is only possible for Brain Chargers to use this armor, as their strengthened bodies are able to withstand the increased power and speed of movement, which, in un-augmented Ventus bodies, results in broken bones or death, due to spasms caused by the pain of broken bones.
Reactive Circuits: Reactive Circuits are systems installed directly linked to the Brain Charger Neural Interface. They amplify the wearer's reaction time by connecting directly to the thoughts of the wearer, making it much easier to control and allowing for the soldier to be both more efficient and have a higher survival rate in combat.
Power Supply Control Unit: Manages the power supply of the armor.
MJOLNIR Mark VI BIOS: The basic input/output system, a standard firmware interface.
Lock-Down System: The Mark VI also introduced a "lock-down" system, which protects muscles and joints from traumatic, high-impact injuries by seizing the suit into a rigid posture
