Description A concept sketch of a Blackstar Flightsuit

A recurring theme with the Blackstars would be that they were "faceless"; their identities would be concealed behind helmets and masks, making them seem somewhat inhuman or unknowable. The Flight Suit is an example of this; the helmet conceals the pilot's identity behind a mask and one-way visor.

The suit itself is environmentally sealed and can be used in a vacuum, and is designed to protect the pilot if they need to bail out in space. While the visor might suggest a limited field of vision, the interior of the helmet features a wrap-around holographic display and HUD.

Notes on the picture, translated from a crappy scan and my crabby handwriting; clockwise from top:

*Connectors for LSS/Air Tanks (if needed)
*Unit Insignia
*Pack - Spacesuit Patches
*Hookup to fighter LSS
*Knife
*Kneepads
*Holster
*Noteputer - Link to fighter
*Padded Elbows
*Shoulder Guards
*Rank Insignia

The uniform was largely black with dull red and silver.
