Type 41 Assault Pack

The Assault Pack is a field backpack used by the Star Army of Yamatai beginning in YE 41.

The Type 41 Assault Pack is only available for military used, and not sold to the public.

History

The Type 41 Assault Pack is a storage pack designed in YE 41 and issued later that same year as a sturdier replacement to the star army backpack type 31. It was made sturdier and expanded the capacity for troops out in the field for months at a time like the Star Army Reconnaissance units. It features a flexible composite plate in certain sections like the back, bottom, top, and on the outside of side pouches. This ensures that the vital supplies inside are better kept from being crushed, and adding another layer of buffer between the wearer and opposing forces.

Design

The Type 41 Assault pack is designed with a semi composite shell design, giving it a more durable resistance to intense combat in the field. That along with a canvas style cloth made from inter weaved threads of Yama-Dura and Kinugoshi-ko, which the shell is embedded attached to, provides a very damage resistant combo. Not only from melee damage, but decently from even most modern weapons used from current levels of technology.

On the left side of the pack, are two large pouches, one above the other, for canteens and miscellaneous items. On the right side, three stacked rows of two medium sized pouches each, mainly for ammo. At the back of the pack, is one large yet flatter pouch, either for a decent medkit, or for things such as tarps, or maps if needed. Inside, there is a sleeve for snacks, ammo, papers, or even a few rations. Additionally loose items such as pens, pencils, and etc can be kept. Finally, the main part of the interior is entirely meant for larger items such gear, ammo, rations, and other supplies.

The part of the pack against the back is a cushioned layer of gel between two layers of foam, and there are straps to fasten a bed roll to the bottom of the pack.

The standard pack comes in RIKUPAT, black, charcoal grey, tan, navy blue, and winter camo.

Usage

The Assault Pack is used like any military backpack, stuffing with all your essential supplies, and strapping it to your back for a month of hoofing it in the field. It is meant to be worn with the new Type 41 Hard Suit, and is clamped to the back of the suit, but can be worn traditionally with straps. After every deployment, the pack is emptied, and thoroughly scrubbed using heavy cleaners before being machine dried.
