Music: Toru Minegishi - "Yoga" https://youtu.be/wjuUHJ1syvk

Ori "Flopsy" Hadar and Angela "PDQ" Eitelbach put their protective gear through its paces, performing some of the "Warrior" poses from ancient exercise and stretching techniques. Also of note is the use of a conventional holster for infantry and a cross-draw holster for vehicular personnel.

I was inspired to draw this after playing an awful lot of Ring Fit. What I really need to do is get people at work doing SCAPE training to perform yoga...

Datalinks:

Mobile Trooper (MT): Lightly-armored Mini Mecha designed to function in a variety of environments, from the river deltas of Van Nang and the deserts of Pesh to the airless void of space. The largest a practical walking machine can get on the battlefield. Frontal armor is proof against light autocannon shells. Generally armed with light autocannons, missile launchers, recoilless guns, and whatever Logistics can find or pilots can improvise.

Powered Suit: Lightweight, form-fitting battle dress composed of advanced armor composites. Provides effective all-around protection against a variety of threats and conditions, in addition to being "almost as comfortable and easy to wear as shorts." That's what the advertisement said, at least. The coatings allow for one to cross-dress as plants, gran's ugly sofa, and mottled concrete for use in various combat environments.

Pressure Suit: A suit designed for Intra-Vehicular Activity (IVA) use, although some will do for short-duration EVA use in a pinch. Designed for extended wear. Provides respectable fragment and thermal protection for its weight. Most pilots wear an extra plate carrier that doubles as a harness for a backup life support system

Tybo Republic Foreign Legion: (AKA "Blood Rhinos") A foreign legion force that recruits from midworlds. Some say their recruitment practices are predatory due to the use of psychotropic conditioning during basic training. Others say it's because they take advantage of worlds that want a way of appearing to shirk their Interstellar Treaty Organization support requirements without actually running afoul of INTO and being denied representation. Ori is part of one of their expeditionary units, a component of an Expeditionary Group composed of Ground, Aerospace, Logistics, and Command elements, transported and supported by a Space element.
