Phoenix Battle Armor

"How many bullets did that asshole take? 20? These are ANTI. MOTHERFUCKING. TANK ROUNDS. HOW THE FUCK IS HE STILL ALIVE?"

-Unknown rogue soldier, commenting on the armor's effectiveness.

The Phoenix battle armor is a suit of combat armor developed by Alexandre Flake, Cody Micheal, and Jacklyn Micheal.

Development
The original ceramic-titanium plating used by patrollers, and the much heavier, thicker variants used by special forces were rapidly becoming outdated as larger caliber rounds, capable of punching straight through said armor were developed. There needed to be a change in the material.

Jacklyn and Cody Micheal began work on a new suit of combat armor, using a wide variety of materials. Eventually, they settled on black nanolaminate plating. Lightweight, cheap to produce with their technology, and strong relative to volume and thickness, the Phoenix Battle Armor was born

Problems in development:
While almost perfect, the armor suffered from one major flaw: it's OS, built into it's helmet, was notorious for being buggy. The targeting systems needed frequent calibration. The medical features of the armor were also not the best. Alexandre Flake teamed up with Cody and Jacklyn to finish the programming. While the OS is slowly being fixed, newer models now have improved medical sensors, along with better targeting

Appearance:
The armor is full body-enclosing, with variants including Rubber-X coverings for the neck, small parts of the wrists, and spaces between the end of the shin/calf plate and foot plates; designed for models made for space. The armor seems to conform to the body's shape after being put on, removing the need for gender-specific suits. The helmet has either a large visor, made of nearly indestructible glass-like material, with color customization possible, or 2 glowing eyeholes, used in EOD and heavy armor configurations.
