The Rin are a complex and unified fighting force. Each legionary carries the same equipment, gear, and all wear the pressure suits that make them faceless death machines.

First is combat gear:

The type 87. The standared issue handgun of the empire. Used by infantry and officers alike. the fleet uses the type 89 a much more decorated gun. It has a clip of 8 rounds and a solider always has two extra clips.

The Type 120 is one of two standard issue assault rifles. It as you can see has two drum magazines thus large amounts of ammo and a very fast firing rate. Around 4000 rounds per minuet. In each drum is 2000 rounds and a soldiers suit can carry around 10-20 of these drums. It can also be set to only fire from one barrel not both.

Note: Both the type 120 and the type 124 are carried by soldiers. Each legionary has both rifles. The type 120 is carried on the back while the type 124 is carried on the left hip.

Type 124. Is the second standard issue rifle it is used for close combat and suppressive fire. It has gained the nick name of 'The Emperor's Buss saw' for its fast firing rate of 2000 rounds per minuet. each clip carries 600 rounds and a solider has 5 clips on his left hip next to the holster.

Type 180. The one and only sniper rifle of the Rin. It is used by guard units to pick off the enemy or special-ops. It has a clip of 5 rounds and solider who use it have 6 extra clips on their left hip (It replaces the type 124)



Type 126. The squad support machine gun. It is the fastest firing weapon in the empire... other then capitol ship machine guns..... It has a hefty weight of 500 pounds and a firing rate of 7000 rounds per minuet. The ammo belt it carries has 14,000 rounds and machine gunners have two extra belts strapped over their chest. But do not worry enemies of the legions only 1 in 20 have this gun.

Rin Sword: It's a sword roughly 6ft in length... it looks small in the Rin's hands. It may not be pretty but it does the job.

Now for Defensive gear:

Rin combat suit Layer one. The heavy metal shell and pads. On the outside is a jump pack, communication devices, and helmet and other body armor.

Rin combat suit layer two. The inner suit of metal protecting the pilot. It has the vital life support systems, HUD, and defensive net connector.

Rin combat suit layer three. The last layer and the most vital. It is the core that protects the pilot and carries rations and other Vital gear.

Rin shield. One of the most iconic piece of gear. It is used by all legionaries and is normally strapped on to the left arm but can be removed for us in formations. Enemies of the Rin have found that the shield can take a beating probably because it is made out of the same metal as capitol ship armor.

Rin outer pads. The shoulder, leg, arm, and thigh pads that protect Rin from long distances rounds and shrapnel.

Now for the Extra gear:

HUD. the most vital part of Rin gear... without it they would be pretty much blind. It shows them ammo, armor, and where the rest of the legion is.

Defensive Network. A device that links all Rin together when one hears a shot so do the others and when one Rin goes down the others know about it.

Rations. What is power armor without rations? Oh, right a metal shell of death. Each Rin carries 3 weeks worth of rations and some extra deserts and what not.

Communications. The Rin make use of communication for well, communicating. It is a large pack right under the jump pack.

Jump pack. Rin may be over 600 pounds but maybe they want to fly you jerks! So they make use of jump packs which help them gain ground in a fast and effective way.

Filter. Rin go all over the galaxy thus they need a filter to breath the air of new worlds. It also has functions to keep sand from filling in.

Pressure systems. Rin come from a high gravity world thus in places with light or no gravity they need something to keep them stable and breathing. This means they can fight in space as well as in water

Methane and oxygen Tanks. The Rin off course have a different atmosphere then earth thus they must carry their own source of breathable gas. The tank is within the suit and and can only be accessed by a small port in the back of the solider. Each legionary carries enough gas for 5 weeks and scrubbers can make the supply last longer.

Ammo belt. It is a belt that carries ammo....

Supply belt. It is a belt that carries supplies...

Speakers and sound systems. Sometimes the Rin love to rock out when in the middle of a firefight or they want to hear commands loud and clear.

Holo-Projector. It is on the palm of the right hand and is activated by a push of a button right below it. It allows the solider to put up a map or show his commander were he thinks the enemy is. And of course movies...

Holsters. There are around 3 in total one for the hand gun, one for the type 124, and the last one for the sword.
