The Crew Compression Suit is a lightweight, semi-void-rated suit designed to be comfortable enough to wear long term while onboard a starship.

The suit itself uses mechanical counter-pressure along with a small air-rebreathing system integrated into the helmet to allow the wearer to survive in space for an extended period of time. The suit does not have the long term air supply, radiation shielding, or micrometer protection to be considered a true EVA suit. The intended use of the suit is for individuals working inside of a starship as protection against atmospheric failure or explosive decompression.

Typically the suit is worn by shipyard workers on or around Rotislav, however after the New Years Revolution it has become common to see the suit onboard the Warships of the Magnetic Assembly in place of American Union uniforms.
