The Rip-Pod Parachute System, also known as the RiPPS, is a self-contained parachute module first implemented into their ORC suit and then the EMmA suit before they released it in YE 40 as a standalone product.
| Designer: | Galactic Horizon |

| Nomenclature: | GH-U6-5T |
The GH-U6-5T was made a standalone system after Galactic Horizon sold it in their two flagship suits of body armour, the ORC suit and her smaller sister, the EMmA suit – the company saw an opportunity to take an already successful component and decided to begin selling it as a standalone product in addition to having it in their favourite suits of armour.
Each RiPPS unit is a small, circular Durandium Alloy pod with power and data hook-ups on the underside - this pod contains three circular heat-treated parachutes that are 5 meters (16ft) in diameter and made of Bulletproof Wool. The parachutes are fired via an electronically-fired servo, which pushes them out from behind two small doors; additionally, the parachutes can self-pack themselves in 30 seconds via small motorized winches that are fed power and data from whatever they are linked up to.
Each RiPPS unit is a Durandium Alloy disk that is six inches in diameter and one inch tall. Both the parachutes and casing are available in a wide variety of colours or even with custom designs if bought directly through Galactic Horizon.
