-Hostiles took part in every major Nepleslian military action during the war and were considered the standard infantry armor.  Over the course of the conflict, new hand held weapons were created and old ones modified for the Hostile and Aggressor, adding to the versatility and lethality of the Hostile.  On [[planet:rok veru]], during the [[faction:nepleslia:history:rok_veru_offensive|Offensive]], the durability of the armor allowed many in the ill-fated first wave to survive the initial ambushes and regroup to strike back at the NMX.  On [[system:mwigflukbajik|SC-4]], [[faction:nepleslia:units:3rd_marine_shaik|3rd Marines]] found that the number of weapons usable by the Hostile allowed them to threaten the NMX ground forces with a bewildering array of different munition types to the point where NMX prisoners were simply confused by what exactly had struck them.+Hostiles took part in every major Nepleslian military action during the war and were considered the standard infantry armor.  Over the course of the conflict, new hand held weapons were created and old ones modified for the Hostile and Aggressor, adding to the versatility and lethality of the Hostile.  On [[planet:rok veru]], during the [[timeline:events:rok_veru_offensive|Offensive]], the durability of the armor allowed many in the ill-fated first wave to survive the initial ambushes and regroup to strike back at the NMX.  On [[system:mwigflukbajik|SC-4]], [[faction:nepleslia:units:3rd_marine_shaik|3rd Marines]] found that the number of weapons usable by the Hostile allowed them to threaten the NMX ground forces with a bewildering array of different munition types to the point where NMX prisoners were simply confused by what exactly had struck them.
  
 From the end of the war in [[timeline:ye_35]] to [[timeline:ye_36]], NAM engineers took as much combat data and feedback from the Marines to better improve the Hostile for the next conflict.  The result at the end of the year was the [[corp:zen:hostile_upgrade_package]] which improved the armor's systems while retaining all of the best parts of the armor.  By introducing newer, more powerful systems, the belief was that the Marines would be better able to threaten any enemy with a wider array of tools.  The upgrade package also increased the survival chances of a wounded Marine, particularly in toxic or airless environments.  These changes were implemented in [[timeline:ye_37]]. From the end of the war in [[timeline:ye_35]] to [[timeline:ye_36]], NAM engineers took as much combat data and feedback from the Marines to better improve the Hostile for the next conflict.  The result at the end of the year was the [[corp:zen:hostile_upgrade_package]] which improved the armor's systems while retaining all of the best parts of the armor.  By introducing newer, more powerful systems, the belief was that the Marines would be better able to threaten any enemy with a wider array of tools.  The upgrade package also increased the survival chances of a wounded Marine, particularly in toxic or airless environments.  These changes were implemented in [[timeline:ye_37]].

Although technically it is possible to absorb the natural hydrogen found in space for use as fuel, this particular model of powered armor does not have this feature, due to system constraints. However, the issue is being looked at and may be included in future models. These specialized fuel tanks house the hydrogen necessary for the Plasma Impulse Drive system. They are located on the underside of the backpack, and are protected by a layer of Nerimium plating to ensure safety.

 A rather simply measure of visual stealth, the Fluxed Pigmentation Coat consists of a small nanomachines that sense surrounding images and, with prompt from the armor which it is applied to, can quickly change their colored pigmentation to match the surrounding. The result is an extent of camouflage that, while not full-proof, can be considered an effective measure against visual systems without more invasive measures of sensing the armors presence. A rather simply measure of visual stealth, the Fluxed Pigmentation Coat consists of a small nanomachines that sense surrounding images and, with prompt from the armor which it is applied to, can quickly change their colored pigmentation to match the surrounding.
