==Description==
The '''Ailette Zero-G Exoskeleton''' is an engineering [[Exoskeleton]] which was developed for heavy labor in space and produced by Federated Boeing of [[Galax]]. The suit was created to enhance workers' performance at the orbiting Port Simon Naval Shipyards.<ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', PDF p. 169 - Actual Galax Shipyard's name mentioned in company's profile from 3025.</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex'', p. 186 - Ailette Zero-G Engineering Exoskeleton - Suit's background info.</ref>

After the destruction of Galax in [[3069]], it is unknown if the Ailette was put into production elsewhere for Federated Boeing. Taurus Territorial Industries did produce a version of the suit however.<ref name=trovar182/> An experimental refit variant was later created by Taurus Territorial Industries in [[3074]] as a rescue [[Power Armor (Light)|Power Armor]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Periphery'', p. 15 - Aliette Rescue PA(L)- Experimental Ailette variant includes fate of suit's production after the destruction of Boeing's Galax yard.</ref>

==Equipment & Capacities==
The Ailette's exterior appearance mirrors that of a normal hardened space suit, but the suit has been equipped with advanced sensors to allow the user to be able to operate in the hazardous environment of space.  This includes an automatic “attitude maintenance mode” which allows the exoskeleton to compensate for movement in Zero Gravity.

The Ailette's primary equipment includes a [[Salvage Arm|salvage arm]] mounted on the right arm, while the left has an [[Armored Gloves|Armored Glove]] to allow the suit's operator to handle hand tools.

The ''Ailette's'' principle equipment includes; [[Salvage Arm|salvage arm]] mounted the right arm, while left has [[Armored Glove]] to allow the suit's operator to handle hand tools.  
  
For operations in vacuum of space, the Ailette is fitted with an [[Extended Life Support]] for extended operations in space and [[Space Adaptation Gear]], both mounted on the main body of the suit.  Its user is encased by 50 kilograms of standard armor, preventing damage from minor space objects.

==Variants==
*;Ailette Rescue PA(L) : This was an [[Experimental Rules|Experimental]] refit variant of the Ailette, which was produced in the [[Taurian Concordat]] during the early [[Jihad]]. Created as a SAR (Search and Rescue) Power Armor, the suit was enhanced slightly from the original model. The suit was upgraded to Power Armor (Light), had its ground speed increased to 20 km/h, and was given a [[Battle Armor Mechanical Jump Booster|Mechanical Jump Booster]] to improve its movement in space. Along with the Ailette's standard equipment, the suit now features [[Improved Sensors]] which are found in its right arm. The Rescue, unlike its originator, can utilize the AP ability and has been listed with the Equipment Rating of E/X-X-F/C. The Ailette Rescue PA(L) variant is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]: [[Easy to Pilot]], [[Prototype]]. BV (2.0)= 5.<ref name=XTRO>''Experimental Technical Readout: Periphery'', p. 15, 29 - Stats for Ailette Rescue PA(L) and BV.</ref>

Created as a SAR (Search and Rescue) Power Armor, the suit was enhanced slightly from the original model. The suit was upgraded to Power Armor (Light), had its ground speed increased 20 kph, and it has been given space movement of 10 via its [[Mechanical Jump Booster]]. Along with the ''Ailette's'' standard equipment, the suit now features [[Improved Sensors]] which are found in its right arm.

As of this writing, there are no published record sheets for the original exoskeleton. Ailette Rescue PA(L)'s record sheet is only found in XTRO: Periphery.

Much of the suit's functions have no function in regular board game play.  Many of its abilities are based on the background information written up for the suit itself.  When first published in Vehicle Annex, the Ailette was listed with piece equipment named the [[Space Adaptation Gear]], which was later listed in the [[TechManual]] rulebook.

The suit cannot use rules regarding Swarm/Leg Attack/Mechanized/AP.
