The one tool Pac-Am special ops thanked the most wasn't their weapons, albeit impressive, nor their insertion vehicles. It was their armor, or more accurately, the advanced system that was equal parts concealment, mobility enhancer, and protection. With all the features a special ops unit could want, and no particular drawbacks, the Tactical Exoskeleton was critical to covert operations and unconventional warfare on many ZOCU worlds. In late 2194 the Improved Tactical Exoskeleton was made available for sale as special operations gear to interested parties. Equipped with both impressive stealth and protective systems, the tools of the Pac-Am Union's special forces are nearly as impressive as the wielders.

The Russian T-91 has been a stunning success. The idea of a light tank has never been popular among the Pac-Am and EU militaries, but the T-91 redefined the concept. The T-91 is a fast attack vehicle designed around the ability to take and deal damage like a tank. The idea arose as a way to counter the advanced tanks of other powers, while maintaining a numerical advantage over their foes. The key feature was the use of shields in addition to armor, in order increase protection without increasing weight.

Out in the Rim, there are few if any rules on what is or is not acceptable. When Obsidian Security Services took over a planet for a base of operations, few noticed. That continued until their first operation. The heavily cyberized commandos killed off the entire ruling council of a world, only being detected as they left the system. Rim stated took notice of this ruthlessly efficient outfit, and they were quite busy with contracts. A standard one-month contract is extremely expensive, but they will take any job, and get it done.

The 'Elephant' is one of the most insane weapons ever comissioned in the Rim. Nearly two hundred meters long and thickly built, rolling on dozens of treads, and armed with dozens of 406mm naval artillery guns supported by forests of 30mm anti-aircraft railguns and missile launchers of various sorts, it is, fortunately, only vaguely mobile. Furthermore, logistically it is difficult to field, seeing that its weapons use conventionally-propelled shells instead of the much cheaper railguns most naval units do, in addition to the inefficient fusion reactor in the center of the machine.
