Description
The Ailette Zero-G is an Engineering Exoskeleton, which was development for heavy labor in space. Produced by Federated Boeing of Galax. The suit created to enhance workers' performance at the orbiting Port Simon Naval Shipyards.[1][2]
After the destruction of Galax in 3069, it is unknown if the Ailette has been put into production elsewhere for Federated Boeing. A experimental refit variant was later created by Taurus Territorial Industries in 3074 as rescue power Suit.[3]
Equipment & Capacities
The suit's exterior appearance normal harden space suit, but the suit been equipped with advance sensors to allow the user to be able operate in hazard environment of space. The suit's includes automatic “attitude maintenance mode” which allows exoskeleton to compensate for movement in Zero Gravity.
The Ailette's principle equipment includes; 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 a 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 minor space objects.
The Ailette has been given the equipment rating of E/X-X-D/C.[4]
Variants
- Ailette Rescue PA(L) - This is an Experimental refit variant of the Ailette, which is produced in the Taurian Concordat during the early Jihad. Created as SAR (Search and Rescue) Power Armor, the suit enhanced slightly from the original model. The suit upgraded to Power Armor (Light), has its speed ground speed increased 20 kph, while it 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 on its right arm. The Rescue unlike its originator, can utilize the AP ability and has a Equipment Rating of E/X-X-F/C. BV (2.0)= 5.[5]
Notes
As of this writing, there are not published record sheets for the original exoskeleton. Ailette Rescue PA(L)'s record sheet is only found in XTRO: Periphery.
The suit cannot use rules regarding Swarm/Leg Attack/Mechanized/AP.
Much of the suit's functions have no function in regular board game play. Much 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. This battle armor/exoskeleton piece of equipment has never been detailed in core rule books of Total Warfare or later advance rule books (Tactical Operations & Strategic Operations).
