Power suit
Talk3this wiki
Added by MecoThe power suit is a type of protoss armor.
The suit consists of a series of overlapping segmented shells providing flexibility and protection. The throat and back are left bare to allow for full movement.[1] The armor is effective against small-arms. The suit may be configured to provide full life support in vacuum or hostile environments[2] (via a crystaline respirator)[3] and nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC) shielding. A transceiver to communicate without telepathy may also be fitted.[2]
The suit enhances and channels the psionic powers of the wearer.[4] Psionic blades may manifest through bracers worn on the forearms.[5]
Added by MecoTeleportation mechanisms are built into power suits. When a protoss wearing one of these suits nears death, they disappear in a flash of bright light as the user seemingly disapears to a place of safety.[6] These mechanisms can also be activated manually.[7]
Power suits are frequently worn by zealots. A scaled down version, the light armor suit, may be worn by high templar.[2]
Notes
Edit
Added by HawkiPower suits are pre-dominantly golden in color, even when team color is otherwise in multiplayer.[8] An exception exists for the Zhakul Guardians, whose zealots are depicted wearing black armor.[9] It is unclear whether this is in-universe representation, or effectively a team color of its own.
