All Forerunners wore personal body armor through most of their lives. The armor protected its user both physically and medically, granted them immunity to most diseases, and was one of the reasons for their long lifespans. In emergency situations, the armor could suspend its user until they were rescued, and even provide nourishment for a time. Armor suits specifically designed for combat were known as combat skins.
Capabilities
Most if not all Forerunner body armor possessed N-barriers and lenses among other systems to protect the user from harm.[1] Forerunner armor suits were also equipped with ancillae, personal artificial intelligence constructs. Mature Forerunners could connect to the Domain through their armor.[2]
Effects
Though the body armor provided the user with certain advantages, it also caused the user to lose sensitivity to the world around them. For example, when Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting decided to remove his body armor on Earth, he found himself exceedingly vulnerable; a simple touch from Chakas caused him to react. While wearing the armor, sleep is not required.[3]
