Nine Lives Mk. III light personal armor
StarDate 3/4
This armor is among the most common found in use today. The trooper in the profile is shown without the light headcover that is normally used. As is obvious, this light protective suit is designed to be used in combat that is being carried out in a friendly atmospheric medium. The armor is built out of layers of Kevlar, boron fiber, titanium mesh and ceramic. The entire suit weighs approximately 14 kilos without helmet and boots.

The boots seen in this illustration are built by Dexter B.A. They are able to provide protection in most infantry combat situations and this specific pair is designed for use in rocky terrain. The boots weigh 2.2 kilos.

The trooper seen here is equipped with a Cerian M-28 phased pulse rifle in the 52 watt range. The rifle uses a rechargeable burst pack that allows for almost 6 full hours of combat. The power pack can be seen on the trooper's left thigh. The rifle weighs 9.1 kilos. The power pack weighs 2.0 kilos.

The sidearm shown is an HK OTM 11 mm autoloader. The magazine carries 18 rounds and weighs 4 kilos.

The illustration also shows that the trooper is equipped with a Zeiss image enhancer which is housed on the forward portion of the right thigh. The optics weigh 9 kilograms.
