General Information
The engineers have made another breakthrough. Their solution to the problem of Personal Armour being shot through by Heavy Plasma was to make the alloy armour plates thicker. When we pointed out that no soldier could move under the weight of inch-thick alloy plates, they jury-rigged one of the small elerium power sources to some motors that lifted the armour as the soldier walked. These new suits can stop 20% of the power of a stun bomb on a good day, they estimate. As a bonus, they are environmentally sealed against - and invulnerable to - fire and smoke.

Trivia
While obviously no realistic equvivalent exists, this suit is essentially a powered exoskeleton; it can be replicated with present day technology and in fact, several prototype exoskeletons already exist in real life, such as the BLEEX (Berkeley Lower Extremity EXoskeleton) project. The main aim of these projects is to create a reliable system which could increase soldiers' carrying capacity greatly; they could also be used to carry armor, creating a crude version of the Power Suit with Earth materials.
