Properties
- life-support
- sealed-mask
A face-sealing mask plus a chest-mounted scrubber canister, rated for one hour of operation in vacuum, toxic atmosphere, or smoke. After expiry the scrubber must be recharged at a Tier III or higher service station. Cheaper and lighter than a full EVA suit, the rebreather is what frontier prospectors, fire-rescue crews, and any sensible boarding party carry as backup when the primary life-support fails. The Halcyion Navy issues one to every rated crew member regardless of station; the Aurelion Ascendancy considers them standard kit on any hull surveyor's belt.
