Fiction:Waptoria Alliance of Species/Technology/WSA Biotic Battle Armor

Technology
The WSA-BBS is a three-layered battle suit using mostly organic components. Like many types of armor developed by member nations of the the Unified Enlightenment Alliance, it is a three-part suit and is equally designed for enviormental survival as battlefield survival.

Inner Layer
* Nerve Interface - A secondary nervous system which integrates with that of the wearer, allowing for mental modification of suit functions. * Enviornmental Suit - The most basic component of the WSA-BBS, the enviornmental suit provides or channels away heat and moisture. It is designed to be comportable, though many non-Waptorians have to adapt to the feeling of nerval interface. * Liquid Crystal Lattice - Layed on top of the enviornmental suit outside joints, which serve as connection points to the middle layer, is a liquid crystal lattice designed to protect the enviornmental suit from damage. The liquid crystal temporarily hardens upon impact, driving kinetic energy away from the wearer while simultaneously making the suit more durable.

Middle Layer
* Nanocarbon Muscle Weave - Attached to and layering over the Enviornmental Suit, the Nanocarbon Muscle Weave greatly enghanced the user's strength while not significatly impacting agility. The nature of the weave means it is also quite durable and can quite repidly repair itself. * Biogel Tubes - Running over and partially trough the Muscle Weave to the Enviornmental Suit, the Biogel Tubes apply Waptorian Bio-Gel, which also contains stem cells for faster healing and limited regeneration, in addition to nutrition and even combat dugs. A seperate set of tubes flush out toxins and waste. The tubes are normally a transparent bioluminous bright green, though their color can be muted completely on mental command. * Nutrition Synthesiser - Found on the back, hip and chest areas protected by Bark Armor is a thin layer of blubber-like substance. This form both an additional defense for vital areas, serves to synthesise nutition transforted by the Biogel Tubes, and exists as a breeding ground for bacteria which quickly scab over any hole in the armor.

Outer Layer
* Barrier Amp - A flexible hybrid system between a shield generator and an essence amplifier akin to a spine. It is attached directly to Enviormnmental Suit, and from there the wearer's brainstem, by heavier than normal neural integration. This allows a essence-attuned wearer to generate a fairly potent essence barrier by only subconscious thought. Though useless for non essence-attuned individuals, this generally presents very little problem as the WSA-BBS was designed to be worn mainly by the naturally essence-attuned Waptorian Biotics. * Bark Armor - Protective plating formed fromm an alloy of ceramics and lesser amounts of various metals resembling bark or brown chitinous armor is appearance. It is much heavier than other parts of the WSA-BBS and thus generally only reserved for vital areas, though full-body Bark Armor does exist. * Camouflage Skin - The verymost outer part of the WSA-BBS is a thin layer of cells. Though normally transparent, these cells contain various pigments which they can bring to the fore by contracting in various ways. This may also change the overall texture of the suit to match objects in the vicinity of the wearer. Combined with heat disposal systems on the heels of the suit, this allows for very convincing camouflage.

Trivia
* More so than any other piece of technology concieved by this used, the Waptorian Biotic Battle Suit has remained virtually unchanged since Ecoraptor thought it up shortly after creating the Waptoria itself.
