Passive Equipment

Standard CCA Uniform - Each Division has a different appearance, each suit having the same exact function. (Unless Personally Upgraded.)

Combat Boots - These Black combat boots are designed to provide ankle stability, gripping of feet, and foot protection. The boots are also effective in ventilation and comfort. It incorporates nylon sides, a black leather exterior, and near-universal fitting. Pressure pads on the bottom absorb shock and hard rubber is used to stop slipping. Laces on the front consist of quick tying, strong strings. The boots are water-proof, do not conduct electricity, fireproof, and last long through difficult, varied terrains.

Cargo Pants - Loose, green, thick, fast-drying pants. They carry two pockets on the left and right upper thighs, and are held up by a belt located on the unit's waist. Made with nylon, special fibers, and cotton. The cargo pants conduct electricity, but reduce brief electricity hazards by 10 percent. They protect against brief, small fires, but only for a brief amount of time. Extinguish fires as soon as possible. Fits into boots.

Belts and Utility Belts - Standard issue belts. Units are given one clothing belt and two utility belts. Wear on waist and stomach. Used for bracing datapads, pistols holsters, flashlights, magazine pouches, other accessories and equipment. Clothing belt is used to hold cargo pants up to the waist. Utility belts may be used to place on top or under combat jacket.

Gloves - Standard issued pair of black gloves. Made out of nylon, leather, rubber, and cotton. The gloves moves reach up towards the lower arm and completely cover the hand and wrist. They are effective in ventilation and comfort. Helps with handling toxic or dangerous items. Water proof, does not conduct electricity, fire proof. Rubber is used to stop slipping.

Facemask - The mask protects the identity of those of those who wear it, while protecting against any fumes, toxic gases, or pollutants that units may encounter. Also works as a respirator and is made out of plastics and nylon. Once connected with the backplate, the mask's lens' will begin to show digital information to the individual. This includes the user's heat, the unit's use of stamina, unit's status, whether another unit is taking damages, user's heart rate, user's breathing rate, user's blood pressure, and the location of any wounds that the user may have suffered. The gasmask also has a zoom. All electrical components cannot work unless it is with the backplate. Gas mask is hard plastic backed by Level 3A Kevlar.

Backplate - The second most vital part of the uniform. Backplate consists of a slot to fit in the users allotted body armour plates. Contains a radio that connects to two speakers aimed towards the user's left and right ear. The backplate takes signals from the CIMS and relays them to the mask, which is then displayed for the user. The backplate will need a constant bio signal, otherwise it will just be a piece of metal.

CIMS (Combine. Individual. Monitoring. Suit.) - The most vital part of the CCA uniform. The suit is worn under all other clothing, and sends data to the backplate. It will tell of any holes or damage the the user has taken. It also tells the user's temperature, stamina, status, heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and location of the wounds the unit may have taken. Anything that it tracks, it sends to consoles in the nexus and to the backplate. The backplate then sends it to the lens to view. In addition to monitoring, it also moderates and controls body temperature and moisture. The suit will get cooler if it's hot, and hotter if it's cold. The suit will also absorb a large amount of moisture leaking through the exterior. Needs a constant bio-signal to activate. If a unit was to die or disconnect their chip, it will send a signal to all units of the city and to the nexus.

Datapad - A personal digital assistant that records all of the information on units and citizens. With it, you can look for CID's, pictures, and other information that can be useful. The datapad also doubles as a map, clock, notebook and messenger. It may also be connected to other devices and access codes and software. The datapad must be activated with a constant bio-signal. Datapad may be mounted on belt, strapped onto a wrist, or attached to the kevlar vest.

Stun Baton - A 14 inch stunbaton with a charge that may be measured from options like kill, stun, and shock. It has a low-to-high setting that the user may change. The grip features a rubber-metal alloy that clings onto the user's hand so that the baton may not slip off. The stun baton also has a removable strap. The end of the stun baton has a cylinder shaped top that is approximately 2 inches. The top gives off the electricity and also acts as a weight, giving impacts more momentum. Has five settings Off, Low, Medium, High, Max

Flashlights - CP units are given two LED flashlights. One about 11 inches, and another about 3 inches. The longer flashlight can be used to illuminate dark areas and as a heavy baton, while the smaller flashlight may be mounted on the side of the mask.

Magazine Pouches - Pistol magazine pouches. Combine manufactured. Made with mostly cotton and nylon. Each pouch has a short velcro patch on the top and may hold two pistol or three magazines in a slot.They can may be mounted on the kevlar armor, the utility belts and the pistol holster.

Pistol Holster - A holster for a sidearm. Made with nylon, leather, and cotton. This socks any sidearm comfortably in. Two magazine pouches may be placed onto the holster. A button and strap mechanism on the top and makes the pistol more difficult to pull out by any foreign users.

Radio - The handheld radio is a communication device made with plastics. It connects to frequencies in order to send transmissions to other radios. It's shell is made out of plastics and is powered by electricity. The radio is wirelessly connected to the backplate, so units may simply tap on their backplate buttons to speak in the radio. They can also tap the radio button itself and talk via mask to transmit. It's also connected to the speakers so, no noise comes from the radio.

Bandages and Biogel - Units are also given two types of bandages for field use before HELIX operates on on the victim. One would be the sterile bandage rolls. These are soft fabrics used to seal wounds and stop bleeding by wrapping it's fabrics across skin and flesh. The second is the "emergency" bandage, which is as bandage with metallic plates covered in a gel solution along the edges to stick onto surfaces. These are very useful in quick-placements.
Biogel is a form of coagulant liquid placed before placement of bandages. This is a universally used medical item to aid stopping infection and promote coagulation.

Black Marks and Commendations - Black marks are the sign of disloyalty to the Universal Union, and are only given if said unit has done very wrong. Black marks are ‘X’s placed on the units armband. Three add up to a de-service. Commendations are signs of true loyalty to the Universal Union and are given by OfC+. Three add up to a possible promotion to the next rank of the unit.
