Adrenaline Utility Gear

The Adrenaline Utility Gear (AUG) is an open body armour with a utility functionality rather than defense and attack, it was designed in YE 40 by Galactic Horizon. Its design purpose was to act as a multi-purpose tool in hazardous situations with capabilities for traversal and environmental protection.

A low-tech grade equipment set which is designed as an affordable and useful tool for civilian protection, offering minor limb protection against dangerous terrain and a sealed helmet for hazardous environmental protection in polluted atmospheres or conditions. The set does not cover the whole body nor is it joined to form a single item and each piece is capable of functioning independently.

The first low tech product from Galactic Horizon which was designed in YE 40 as an inexpensive and easy to produce product fit for civilian consumption. While the group is equipped to design more intricate items the Adrenaline Utility Gears purpose is to raise public awareness of the group and their potential as a civilian grade producer as well as their more militaristic endeavors.

The concept was to provide semi-advanced equipment for those who enjoy some of the more dangerous physical challenges. The project was started under the guidance of Kryss Black who sought to promote the company’s public image through a cheap and easy product launch that would be easily available.

During the design and development stage of the equipment a prototype test was held within the Section 6 labs where some outstanding practical issues were found and fixed. This test prompted the integration of the small folded crossbow to launch cable allowing for upward traversal, issues with the effectiveness of the claw were also addressed.¹⁾
