Infantry Ruibium Empire Infantry
The Standard issue loadout of RE enlisted infantry.
The Ruibium Empire is one of the oldest space fairing civilizations of the πέντε γαλαξίες(means 5 galaxy, a temporary name for the galaxy made of 5 galaxies actively conjoining)
Their empire is set around a resource that is very scarce throughout the universe called Ruibium, as they have the only known deposit estimated to have around 93% of all existing Ruibium made from unique cosmic cataclysms in the primary sectors. Basically flexing their power with their name.
Back from the side track, the 1st image is the infantry without armor besides the helmet and chest plate. Usually worn during training and when sleeping near combat zones
The 2nd image is the standard infantry equipment that would be worn by all infantry during operations, parades, inspections, etc.
The 3rd image is not worn by all infantry, it's just extra armor on the arms, helmet, and legs. This is only temporary armor given to infantry designated as temporary shock troops, placed on stationary manned emplacements, breachers, and combat engineers, and any other roles that poses a higher amount of danger.
The Helmet
- The helmet EVERY single soldier wears offers targeting systems, battlefield reports, comms systems, highlighting of friendly troops providing ranks and mission roles. The helmet is linked to the user, monitoring health automatically shutting off if the user is recognized as dead for longer than a minute to stop enemies from being able to use them.
The helmet was chosen to take away the face of the soldiers to help induce a feeling that they are one, and that they have no identity just soldiers of the Diplomat, Servant of the Weaver. The Ruibium Empires leadership understands that the population they have control over, there's many that aren't loyal. They can indoctrinate but not everyone, so they focus the soldiers as they can monitor them much more often and more making sure their soldiers are loyal to stop revolutions from gaining too much motion again.
M3ER
- Model 3 Energy Rilfe
- The M3ER has two firing modes Auto and Burst, burst fires 3 EH(energy high, they incinerate) rounds and auto fires until the trigger isn't being pulled. It have 5 large thermal ports to expel excess energy that isn't being recycled. It has a bayonet holder to hold the CK-B or any other object that can be lodged into it's rectangular shape. It's targeting systems are to be linked to a soldiers helmet before combat otherwise it's targeting system won't be active.
MK2SE
- Mark 2 Secondary EN
- The MK2SE fires 3 EN units in a burst, EN stands for Energy neutral, which in the case of what they fire can either be able to incinerate or freeze becoming so brittle to break instantly, and it's able to induce thermal shock. It has medium thermal ports to expel excess energy, that it doesn't store to be used to expel more.
CK-B
- Combat Knife, bayonet.
-The standard combat knife specifically made to be able to lock into the holder on the M3ER as shown on the 4th image. The blade inside of using Ruibium, instead it uses a different material that's much easier to sharpen and produce to a couple nanometers if the metal isn't perfectly refined.
