The '''Black Body Suit''', as it's referred to, is a [[Vacuum Suit|vacuum-enabled suit]] of light body armor used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] in operations in vacuum environments.<ref name="for">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 79</ref> | |||
==Description== | ==Description== | ||
This Body Suit is a black, form-fitting suit of polymer body armor, able to deflect small-caliber rounds. | |||

The suit is equipped with cooling and heating units that masks the infrared signature of the wearer, as well as creating a comfortable environment. The helmet has encrypted communications gear and a [[HUD]], along with thermal sensors and motion detectors. The whole suit is fully sealed and gas tight, making them wearable in vacuum for up to fifteen minutes when equipped with an oxygen tank.<ref name="for"/> | |||

These suits saw extensive use during the | These suits saw extensive use during the 2520's. They were used by the [[Spartan-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] in several missions, before they got their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR Armor]]. One of these missions involved infiltrating a [[Eridanus Rebels|Rebel]] base in the asteroid [[Eridanus Secundus]] in the [[Eridanus System]].<ref name="for"/> | ||
Similar suits were used by [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]] during humanity's [[Skirmish Over Harvest|very first combat encounter]] with the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] over planet [[Harvest]].<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]</ref> | |||
== | ==Disadvantages== | ||
Unfortunately, the suit's general complexity leads to complications. Over prolonged periods of time the suit will become very uncomfortable to wear, and is difficult to repair in the field, and it's known to always need repairs. The suit also limits the wearer's motion, as remarked by [[Kelly-087|SPARTAN-087]].<ref name="for"/> | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *Some people believe that the Black Body Suit is in fact the same as the [[ODST Battle Armor]], but this is merely speculation. Given the vast differences between them it is extremely unlikely that they are related to each other. This belief is strengthened, however, by the [Halo Encyclopedia] stating that the armor that the ODSTs wear has a reserve of oxygen that lasts fifteen minutes. | ||
