Overview 概述
Carapace armour consists of large rigid plates of armaplas, ceramite or some other strong material molded to fit parts of the body. While heavy to wear and unable to cover flexible areas such as joints, it offers far better protection over lighter types of armour such as flak armour. This armour is also as much a status symbol as it is a form of protection, with the carapace breastplate worn by many Imperial Guard officers serving the duel purpose of protecting them and displaying their rank. Carapace armour can range from complete armoured suits like those worn by Storm Troopers and the Adeptus Arbites to individual pieces such as chest plates, helmets, etc. Some bodysuits also include simple slots for carapace plates to be inserted, allowing the wearer to customise their level of protection or more easily replace damaged plates.
甲壳盔甲由塑钢复合材料、陶钢或其他一些坚固材料制成的大型刚性板组成，这些板被塑成适合身体部位。虽然穿起来很重，无法覆盖关节等柔性区域，但它比防弹衣等较轻类型的装甲提供了更好的保护。这种盔甲既是一种身份象征，也是一种保护形式，许多帝国卫队军官佩戴的甲壳胸甲的决定性目的是用于保护他们并显示他们的军衔。甲壳盔甲的范围可以从风暴兵和法务部穿的全套盔甲到胸甲、头盔等单件盔甲。一些连体衣还包括简单的插槽，用于插入甲壳板，让穿着者可以定制他们的防护等级，或者更容易地更换损坏的板。
Known Carapace Armour Patterns 已知甲壳盔甲型号
Cadian-pattern "Kasrkin" Storm Trooper Carapace 卡迪亚型“卡舍津”风暴兵甲壳甲
The Cadian-pattern "Kasrkin" carapace suit is the standard body armour of the Cadian Shock Troopers' elite Kasrkin infantry, completely protecting the wearer's body and featuring a suite of advanced technologies. The helmet is equipped with a rebreather, photo-visor, encrypted micro-bead and clip attachment on the side for a light source or vid-recorder, while the suit itself incorporates an integral auspex unit accessed via wrist display and attachments for a grav-chute. Power for these systems is provided for by a small power pack, equivalent in size and cost to a lasgun power pack, which allows for a week of continuous use before requiring replacement. While associated with Cadia, this pattern of carapace suit has been adopted by the Departmento Munitorum for use by other units from as far away as the Calixis Sector.
