Devised within the year, YE 30 the survival kit was created to fulfill a role previously filled by two separate kits. As such, manufacturers, as well as the respective nations involved agreed to make one solid kit. This meant uniformity, therefore cutting down costs of two separate kits, and mass production on both sides, each side sharing half the cost of production in regards to the corporate firms involved.

The UMC Survival Kit was devised by the United Manufacturing Cooperative in the year YE 30 as a way to aid Peacekeeper Forces and Lorath Matriarchy soldiers survive if stranded. The need also arose due to a significant lack of a survival kit for either side. These kits were made to be rugged and durable, and are therefore constructed of a plastic/stonethread fiber weave for the case. Inside are four large 'tackle box' style trays holding various supplies needed for everyday survival kept in a memory foam to maintain their security and integrity.

Built into the interior of the top cover of the kit's case is a OLED display used to access the built in radio transmitter, and subspace beacon. Powering these three systems is a Ultra-portable cybernetic unit sized QNC embedded into the bottom most section of the case.

Also included within the kit is a Subspace Distress Beacon, and Radio Transmitter. Both of which are powered by the kit's on board power cell. The radio signal has a theoretical unlimited range, but practical range is short, since the waves only travel at light-speed. The radio transmitter includes a small system for sending, and receiving communications.

The other is a Subspace Distress Beacon that utilizes power from the on board power cell. This beacon sends out an automated message through subspace. However, the automated message can be changed to a customizable one via the OLED display through the beacon's menu.
