Footfall-Pattern VoIdsuIt
As with many other items dubbed ‘Footfall-pattern’, these voidsuits are not truly a singular design, but rather are each unique items created to broadly similar specifications, the product of various unsanctioned artificers and heretic manufactories on worlds, stations and vessels within the Koronus Expanse.
Unlike many such illicit creations, Footfall-pattern voidsuits are of remarkably high quality, the explorers and colonists of the Expanse being extremely familiar with the dangers of the void, and thus less-than-willing to risk themselves with creations of uncertain protective value. Less cumbersome than the widely-used Selenite-pattern, it provides somewhat less protection from hazards, but is more comfortable to wear for long periods of time, such that many voidmen wear the main body of the suit as normal work overalls, adding the helm, gauntlets and boots only when they need to work in vacuum.
When fully sealed, the suit’s rebreather tanks provide enough air for four hours, after which time they must be replaced, which can be done as a Full Action without compromising the suit’s seals and without removing the suit. An integral micro-bead vox, mag-boots, lamp pack, and clip harness are also included in most common versions.
