Adaptive Clothing System

Armor Rating: 6
Mod Capacity: 0   An adaptable layered clothing system that was originally issued to Triton Minerals Personnel on Horizon. Due to the nature and range of staff work environments potentially encountered as well as personnel roles, Triton attempted to make a one uniform clothing system. The Adaptable Clothing System (ACS) was the fruits of that work.

ACS works by providing the user a range of clothing items, that can be layered or swapped around for operations in different temperature climates. So a range of thickness trousers, layered undershirts, fleece tops, jumpers and jackets. All designed to be used together. Incorporation of utility pockets, attachment points and additional support equipment such as harnesses, backpacks and webbing packs can be added to significantly alter the functionality of the outfit to the users needs. For Security personnel there are additional armor layers that are designed to be worn over or integrated into the ACS system, increasing the protection provided.

ACS Clothing parts of made of a blend of synth-cotton, electro-chromatic strands and microfibre armor mesh in a layered weave. This makes the clothing lightweight but provides some armouring to the user in addition to the multiple colour configurations or camouflage patterns via the electro-chromatic strands. When addons such as webbing and backpacks are worn with ACS Clothing, the addons will take their colouring and pattern information from the ACS controller incorporated into the left wrist on most of the main top layers.

ACS clothing has configured utility pockets for equipment such as drone controllers, cyberdecks or medical monitors. These pockets are usually located on the right forearm to enable immediate access and are designed to take the universal Horizon Issue devices.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Modular Clothing System - An array of outfit parts allows users to configure the outfit for environment and usage easily.

Modular Addon System - A plethora of support equipment and attachments can be added to the clothing as needed.

Electro-Chromatic - The Clothing system boasts an array of preconfigured colour and pattern schemes, as well as a selection of camouflage patterns.

Adaptive Armor System - ACS Armor Addons can be incorporated with or into the ACS to improve Armor protection, but this is the only modifications it can take. 

History

The ACS was based off Terran Military uniforms from the early 21st Century when Military forces were attempting to make one uniform. These uniforms were designed to fit all environments and needs for reduction in expenses especially given the ever increasing array of conflict operations in different environments.

After the Terran Gateway collapsed and Triton's personnel on Horizon split into separate factions, the use of the ACS within the Tearstone Federation declined. Over time, people began wearing more things that suited them rather than "company" uniforms.
