Forerunner armor

Forerunner Armor is a non-combat suit worn by all Forerunner prior to the Forerunner-Flood War where it was replaced by the Combat Skin.

General
Forerunner Armor is simillar to the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor because of its ability to enable any sentient species to survive in hostile conditions. It can connect to the user's central nervous system and is able to provide nourishment to the wearer for up to 3 days.

The Forerunner Armor can be fitted to any sentient being. Species known to have worn them are Forerunner, Human and San'Shyuum, but could, theoreticaly, be fitted to Sangheili, Jiralhane, or even Unggoy. This is is due to the suit's construction where it is built tailored to the physical parameters of the species that will wear the suit. Each suit has its own Smart AI which has the ability to gather any information the wearer desires by linking to The Domain. The exception to this is that immature Forerunner only have a limited ability to communicate with The Domain.

The Domain
The Domain is a central intelligence containing the sum of Forerunner ancestral knowledge. It is only accessible by Forerunner who have reached full maturity.

Armor Components

 * Helmet: The Helmet is probably the most essential part of the Forerunner Amor, it houses the Acilla and connects to the users sub-concious via unknown methods. It is also a very important part of the suit's life suppot systems because it provides oxygen, or in the case of the Unggoy, methane, for the user to breath. The helmet is made from a material similar to plastic but was next-to-nothing and is very strong. The plastic covers the back part of the head (from ear to ear) and the front is made of a week energy shield which is almost invivsible, this is the stronges part of the suit.
 * Outer Shell: The outer shell of the armor is a vital part of the suit's operation for it provides the user with protection from most forms of physical harm. This outer shell is made of a material currently unknown but was fabric-like, similar to carbon fiber but significantly stronger. Some parts of the outher shell is hard, made to protect importent organs, eg. the heart. The shell is very strong but can only take a limited amout of abuse and has equivilent strents of the #to be compleated#


 * Inner lining: Very little is known about this aspect of the armor except that is it made to destroy all unwanted matter, dissipate excess heat, and kill any intruding bacteria or other foreign organisms. It is also used to create the energy needed to power the suit using the user's body heat and other unknown sources.
 * Because the suit connects to the user's central nervous system it is possible that the suit uses the electrical output of the brain as a source of energy as well.
