ACES

Stock A.C.E.S.

The Advanced Combat Enhancements Suits, or ACES were developed my the United States military as part of an elite soldier enhancement program in 1986. The suits were designed to be light weight, as well as versatile to accept many on the fly combat upgrades to allow the soldiers to adapt to combat situations quickly. It base armored sheath was capable of turning aside many small arms fire, while the slim outer carapace could protect vital areas from much larger rounds of munitions. The entire spine of the suit is a reinforced power supply allowing the suit to power the body sheathes synthetic muscle fibers as well as the numerous weapons and accessories that can be adapted to the suit's hardpoints.

The suits production was terminated in 1990 and many of the ACES were removed from combat duty to be replaced with the newer technology, but a handful of the suits were still utilized by various branches of the Military, as well as being the benchmark for many enhancement suits that would be developed in the future.

Formerly, the largest user base of the ACE Suits is Millennium City's Meta-S.W.A.T./S.I.R.T. division of MCPD, the team sporting well over thirty of the remaining units in existence.

With the suspension of the Meta-S.W.A.T. program, Keioseth bought up the remaining suits and components, keeping them for use of the Freelancers.
