Hostile environment suit

The Hostile Enviroment Suit is the standard issue combat gear for Terran Ghosts; a polymer suit covering the body along with a helmet or headpiece.

Perhaps the most well known function of the suit is its cloaking ability. Though older models lack it, many Ghost suits feature a personal cloaking device, allowing the Ghost to render him/herself invisible. The ammount of time this is able to be used is limited by the ammount of energy avaliable, though can be increased through the installation of a Moebius Reactor. The cloaking system would shut down upon the user's death in earlier suits although this has become redundant with new models, where, should the Ghost die, the suit automatically degrades itself and the wearer to prevent the technology from falling into enemy hands.

Cloaking aside, the Hostile Enviroment Suit is still an advanced piece of equipment. The suit is interwoven with an advanced circuitry system that covers the entire body apart from the head, which could interfere with the Ghost's psionic powers. In addition to an adjustable temperature setting, it is laced with a form of psi-sensitive artificial muscle fiber which augments their natural physical strength. A time setting is also built into the system, allowing a Ghost to check the time of any place in the Koprulu Sector.

Finally, there is the helmet/eyepiece (or occular implants as the case may be). Although bulkier, the helmet acts as a chemical agent mask. It shares the rest of its functions with the smaller headpiece, which include a comm system, infa-red vision and a HUD (Heads Up Display). The HUD, at least in later models, provides the Ghost info on his/her health status, the ammount of psionic energy avaliable, a stealth meter (an indication as to how exposed the Ghost is to being seen) and a weapon meter, informing the Ghost of how much ammunition is avaliable for his/her equipped weapon.
