APIOCA suit

"Some say the Navajo is just as revolutionary as FTL, but I'm not so sure."

- Anonymous naval officer

The A-1 "Navajo" Advanced Point/Individual Objective Combatant Armor suit (APIOCA), more commonly referred to as the Advanced Combatant suit (ACS) and/or the Navajo battle suit, is a state-of-the-art infantry battle suit produced solely by Horizon Armory's subsidiary Queenridge Tactical Support Solutions.

Employed almost exclusively by various branches of UNSC SpecWar, the APIOCA is a cutting edge cocktail of intricate, logistical circuitry and ultra-protective composites, among other features. By 2611, one year after its debut on the battlefield, an estimated twenty-five percent of all special forces commandos were garbed in the Navajo while another thirty percent were estimated to be utilizing it within the following two years.
