These suits are extremely rare, with no more than 10,000 believed to exist. Each unit cost upwards to about $7.5 million dollars each (or ₢2.14 million credits). The program alone to even develop the armor cost some $546 billion dollars (or ₢156 billion in Interex credits). To that end, the government of Interex only authorizes the usage of these suits to only the most veteran of the ISF's forces, and more so is the fact that these suits are rarely if ever seen outside of Interex. Thus, the world has little, if any knowledge of these powerful weapons aside from scant rumors in the Tibetan countryside, where rumors are often considered mere myths.
