Empire Elites

At the hight of the Paxia Empire's force they had armies that numbered in the hundreds of millions. Their forces were so numerous that the Empire equipped most of their soldiers with only the most basic of weapons and survival gear.

Royal officers and veteran commanders were given the hight of technological armor. The Tesari VX-SCA (self contained combat armor). Because these were only worn by the elite the armor was nicknamed "Elite" by the troops.

After a few decades the armor saw more wide spread use in Special Forces and Surgical Strike Units. Despite no longer being used only by the Elite of the Empire, the nickname stuck.

Now over 300 years after the first VX-SCA walked off the manufacturing line, worn by millions of soldiers across the stars, the armor is still called "Elite".
