Acryl

Acryl
Acryl is a Death World within the Acryllius System, located in the Lacerta Sub-sector. Despite the corrosive, toxic atmosphere, searing heat, and high amounts of solar radiation, the world is invaluable due to the bountiful resource deposits below its dormant surface. It is for this reason that the planet is inhabited by humans despite the hellish conditions.

Though the population is relatively small by Imperial standards, it does nevertheless raise Imperial Guard Regiments which are shipped off to warzones either within the Sub-sector or outside it in the larger Imperium. These troopers specialize in fighting in the most inhospitable climates, and are typically deployed such as to make the best of their abilities.

While parts of the colony are pressurized or safely below the surface, the need does nevertheless arise to go outside. To protect themselves from the elements, humans on Acryl wear special pressurized suits of armor known as voidsuits.

Acryl-Pattern Voidsuit
Acryl is somewhat famous within the Sub-sector for the Acryl-Pattern Voidsuit, which is most commonly seen equipped by Regiments of the Imperial Guard who hail from the world. The sealed and pressurized suit features levels of protection against weapons fire equivalent to that of Carapace Armor, resulting in Guardsmen from the world being able to better withstand enemy attacks than their Flak Armor-clad comrades.

Durable and reliable, excess suits of Acryl-Pattern Voidsuits are hastily claimed by regiments from other worlds to arm their elites, usually called Stormtroopers. These venerable suits are produced by Sidonius, a Forge World within the Acryllius System. Well-maintained suits have been known to serve for centuries before needing to be recycled.
