AL2: The
BDU (Battle Dress Uniform): General Description

</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td> A Star Fleet Marine will at any given point likely
by outgunned and need to adapt to any number of environments.
Seeing this, the SFMC put out the call for a single
armor system that would utilize the best modern technology
could offer, while still allowing ease of field maintenance
and maneuverability. 
The result - The Battle Dress Uniform, or BDU. 
 
The BDU is a modular armor system, allowing a Marine
to rapidly adapt for a variety of environments and levels
of combat with a single basic suit. Built with molecularly
interwoven ballistic fabric, high impact memory plastics
with an integrated Crystalline Ablative Dispersal Matrix,
the BDU allows a trained Marine vast degree movement
and flexibility, while providing acceptable protection
in today's combat environment with minimal weight impact.
 

 
Taking it's inspirations from nano-technology and Borg
adaptive capabilities, the CADM disperses energy across
the matrix. The fuller the amount of the armor's plating
worn, the greater the protection. As it's name implies,
the CADM ablates with damage. With each hit, the CADM
breaks down.. with the intensity of the blast determining
the amount of ablation. 
 
Other suit functions are not effected by the break down
of the CADM, although they are vulnerable immediately
upon breakdown. The nano-tech also allows protection
from limited exposure to offensive nano-technology..
such as Borg nanites. 
 
The CADM also provides the BDU technology it's security
measures. Any attempt to alter it, duplicate it, or
dissemble it without use of regularly updated code locks,
, and other measures will result in the CADM and the
suit literally breaking down immediately. 
 

 
The BDU has been tested against most known forms of
energy, but caution should be taken when encountering
unknown forms. Also, extreme multi bandwidth energy
can 'confuse' the matrix, allowing damage to seep through.
 
Improper use and wearing also leads to greater exposure
to injury. Intensive training is necessary for a user
to safely engage in a extreme activity while wearing
a BDU. Regular drilling is necessary.
