This powered armor consists of a thin frame around a central
command unit (which fits around the torso for a typical wearer),
covered in form-fitting plates filled with a rheopectic fluid that
hardens when struck, dispersing force throughout the armor and
absorbing crushing blows. Although an absorptive shell provides
significant protection, the fluid-filled plates can't support a
weapon mount.
Unlike many forms of powered armor which are primarily
used as military combat gear, absorptive shells are also often
used as safety equipment for skilled rescue workers operating
in extremely hazardous conditions, ranging from areas prone to
rockfalls, starship crashes, and vehicles that still have explosives
and industrial chemicals leaking from them, to actual war zones
where rescue workers may come under fire.
