The Battle Corset is a rather simple custom-made holster system commissioned by Vinni Firebrand from Galactic Horizon in YE 40. It was designed to hold the one large and six small weapons the Captain usually carries with him and has enough pouches to facilitate a substantial amount of ammunition for each.

The Battle Corset’s base layer is made from treated Bulletproof Wool that has been woven with Stone Thread for additional strength and has a lightweight segmented chest-piece that hugs the front and back of the torso - made out of heavy-duty polymer plates designed to not restrict the wearer’s movement - for an additional measure of protection, while the rig layer runs vertically from the shoulders down the front and back until they reach the wearer’s mid-thigh and has horizontal straps topped with Durandium Alloy buckles for extra strength. A pistol holster is mounted to the front of each thigh, the side of each thigh, and under each armpit; additionally, there is a section of modular webbing across the front armoured section meant for holding a variety of ammunition pouches in various configurations.

The Battle Corset is a dark grey climbing harness with two pistol holsters on each thigh, one under each armpit, and a scabbard for longer guns that goes from the right shoulder to the left hip. The front of the harness is covered in sections of hardened polymer plates that cover the front and back of the torso and end in a protective cod-plate.

The Battle Corset is worn like a standard harness in that the wearer steps into the two legs and shrugs the back of the harness over their shoulders, while the front of the armoured torso clips to the left side of the harness and underneath the crotch to secure itself and sit snug against the wearer’s form.

The Battle Corset features a modular webbing system on the chestplate and enough holsters to store six pistol-sized weapons and one longer weapon without them getting in the way.
