==Overview:==

     The Caduceus Class Field Medic Armor was designed by the

Magistrate of Canopus with assistance from the Cappelan

Confederation. It was intended to help supplement the Magistrates

already superior medical support for its military. 



==Capabilities:==

     The Caduceus features many innovations to help with it's role

as a Battlefield Medic. First off, it carries a total of 300 kg of

standard armor to protect the medic.  With the extra life support

capabilities, it can remain active in the field for up to 24 hours

before having to return to base for recharging.

     While designed to allow the use of most tools and equipment,

the suits armored gloves can be removed for exceptionally 

detailed work, although this is not recommended unless absolutely

necessary. There is a searchlight mounted on the right arm, for

enhanced rescue operations at night. The left arm A-13 Heavy

Grenade Launcher is typically loaded with Flash or Smoke

ordinance, but some medics have been known to carry HEAP rounds to

dissuade the enemy from bothering them as they assist their

comrades. It has a 20 round magazine, which is generally

considered excessive for a medic, but helps reduce the necessity

of resupplying in the field. It is equipped with a quick

disconnect system, in case additional maneuverablity is needed

with the left arm.

     The armored container on the back of the unit, as well as the

multiple hard pockets located on the chest, arms and legs can

carry a total of 85 kg worth of supplies. It carries an Advanced

Medical Kit in an armored container at the small of its back. The

various compartments on the chest, arms and legs usually contain

Laser Scalpels, Medipatches (20), Stimpatches (10), Plastiflesh

Bandages (20), Sedative Patches (10), Spare leads and cables for

the Sloan Mark 12 and a couple of Smoke Grenades. The removable

armored container on the back carries the Field Surgery Kit, a

Collapsible Stretcher, a Noteputer (loaded with Medical Info),

several spare magazines for the A-13 and a Scanalyzer when

available.

     The Sloan Mk. XII Advanced Medical Monitor is an advanced

version of the portable medical monitor. It is capable of

monitoring a patients vital signs, including: blood pressure,

pulse, temperature, electro-cardiogram (ECG), respiration rate,

neural activity and others. The leads of the various sensors

attach to a portable transmitter and the results are displayed on

the suits HUD. In case of enemy ECM, it is possible to link the

transmitter directly into the armor. The monitor also has the

capablity to jack directly into another Battle Armor suits medical

sensors to monitor the troopers health. It is powered indefinately

by the suits integral power unit.

     Mounted in the Right Arm is a Plasmajet 442 cutting torch, to

assist in extracting wounded personnel from vehicles or

Battlemechs. Extreme care must be taken to avoid further injuries

to the wounded.

     Although the Caduceus is capable of speeds approaching 32.4

km/h, it is capable of mounting not only an OmniMech, but with the

Capellan supplied magnetic clamps, regular Mechs and Armored

units.



==Deployment==

     The Caduceus is still currently undergoing field trials, as

the Canopian Institute of War opens its Armored Infantry program

to already trained and qualified EMS personnel. The Magistrate

Medical Corps is hoping to have at least 1 squad of Cadecus Armor

assigned to each regiment by the end of 3071. Hardcore MedTech has

also designed a companion vehicle, the Charity Armored Evacuation

Vehicle. It is expected that the two units will work well

together.

Rules:         Level 3, Standard design

==Overview:==

     The Caduceus Class Field Medic Armor Mk II was designed by

the Magistrate of Canopus after consulting with engineers from

Paradise Industries. Troops issued with the Mk I raised concerns

that the A-13 Grenade Launcher violated their status as a

non-combatant, as the enemy had no way to know that it was only

loaded with smoke or flare rounds.



==Capabilities:==

     The Caduceus features many innovations to help with it's role

as a Battlefield Medic. First off, it carries a total of 300 kg of

standard armor to protect the medic.  With the extra life support

capabilities, it can remain active in the field for up to 24 hours

before having to return to base for recharging.

     After consulting with outside engineers, it was decided to

remove the Heavy Grenade Launcher from the design. Doing so

allowed the engineers to fit on a Jump Pack, something that had

been left off of the original design. The 75kg pack allows the

Caduceus Mk II to jump as far as 90 meters at a time, improving

mobility.

     While designed to allow the use of most tools and equipment,

the suits armored gloves can be removed for exceptionally 

detailed work, although this is not recommended unless absolutely

necessary. There is a searchlight mounted on the right arm, for

enhanced rescue operations at night. 

     The armored container on the back of the unit, as well as the

multiple hard pockets located on the chest, arms and legs can

carry a total of 110 kg worth of supplies. It carries an Advanced

Medical Kit in an armored container at the small of its back. The

various compartments on the chest, arms and legs usually contain

Laser Scalpels, Medipatches (20), Stimpatches (10), Plastiflesh

Bandages (20), Sedative Patches (10), Spare leads and cables for

the Sloan Mark 12 and a couple of Smoke Grenades. The removable

armored container on the back carries the Field Surgery Kit, a

Collapsible Stretcher, a Noteputer (loaded with Medical Info),

several spare magazines for the A-13 and a Scanalyzer when

available.

     The Sloan Mark 12 Advanced Medical Monitor is an advanced

version of the portable medical monitor. It is capable of

monitoring a patients vital signs, including: blood pressure,

pulse, temperature, electro-cardiogram (ECG), respiration rate,

neural activity and others. The leads of the various sensors

attach to a portable transmitter and the results are displayed on

the suits HUD. In case of enemy ECM, it is possible to link the

transmitter directly into the armor. The monitor also has the

capablity to jack directly into another Battle Armor suits medical

sensors to monitor the troopers health. It is powered indefinately

by the suits integral power unit.

     Mounted in the Right Arm is a Plasmajet 442 cutting torch, to

assist in extracting wounded personnel from vehicles or

to the wounded.

assigned to each regiment by the end of 3071. Hardcore MedTech has

also designed a companion vehicle, the Charity Armored Evacuation

Vehicle. It is expected that the two units will work well

together. One out of every four suits is expected to be the Mk II

model.
