The standard crew spacesuit. Worn during EVA, sealed-craft transit, and on-duty ship operations. Primary on-duty costume for all twelve crew.
Base suit
White armored construction over a fitted pressure-capable underlayer. Panel segmentation follows the major joints (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles) for articulation. Sporty, minimalist register. Not bulky, not old-school EVA. Integrated life support routes through the back-mounted pack.
Visual elements
- Dominant color: white with subtle cream undertone
- Accent: black stripes along panel seams (shoulder-to-hip diagonal across the torso, outside of the leg, elbow pivot, breastplate trim)
- Breastplate nametag: small rectangular, surname plus initials
- Gloves: black, gauntlet-style, small wrist-panel for interface
- Boots: white with black tactical soles, mid-ankle reinforcement
- Belt: fitted with center buckle, load points for equipment and personal clips
Helmet
Smart, airtight, rounded design. Small red indicator strip at the crown for external status read. Tinted visor. Removable by the wearer in sealed-atmosphere environments.
Life support pack
Rectangular back-mounted unit, approximately 40 cm tall by 30 cm wide. Front, side, and back faces document at the concept-sheet level. Red arrow indicator on the back plate for rapid visual orientation in emergencies.
Atlas in the spacesuit
Atlas operates three identical bipedal humanoid robotic units. Each unit fits the standard crew spacesuit because all three are 175 cm, within the human crew’s 163 to 185 cm range. The units are clearly machine out of suit; the suit is what enables them to read as crew at silhouette distance. The units do not biologically need the suit but wear it for ensemble cohesion, external optics, and decoy operations. Atlas does not breathe and can hold helmet-on indefinitely.
Personal objects on the suit
Each character’s recurring object should remain visible on the suit where possible. Reed’s olive-wood rosary clips to the belt at the right hip. Reeve’s dog-tags ride under armor, visible only when the collar opens. Sterling’s reading glasses sit on a chain in a chest pocket. Kade’s equation notebook lives in an armored pouch on the left side of the belt. Brennan’s naval compass clips to a belt loop.
When the suit is worn
- All EVA: mandatory
- Transit and ship duty: default on-duty costume for all twelve crew
- Emergency: rapid suit-up is a recurring story beat; the act of suiting up is dramatized separately from wearing the suit
- Off-duty spaces (quarters, chapel, medical quiet rooms, crew lounge): characters shift to personal attire
