-The Type 38 Poncho is a [[wp>rain poncho]] used by the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]]. It provides soldiers and their backpacks with protection from rainfall so they can keep dry. It was first issued in [[calendar:YE 38]], although some previous models of ponchos were already in use at that point. It is more lightweight than a raincoat. Cost at the [[stararmy:Clothing Store]] is 50 KS for the poncho and its liner (25 each).+The Type 38 Poncho is a [[wp>rain poncho]] used by the [[stararmy:start]].

 +===== History =====
 +The Type 38 Poncho was first issued in [[timeline:ye_38]], although some previous models of ponchos (such as the nearly identical [[corp:wickedarms_industries|]] TA-18) were already in use at that point.
  
 ===== Design ===== ===== Design =====
-The poncho is a large rectangular garment constructed of completely waterproof synthetic polymer fabric. It is extremely resistant to punctures and tears and is strong enough to be used as a hammock or gurney. In the center it has a hood with a drawstring to pull it closed. The hood has ear pockets designed for [[species:Nekovalkyrja]] ears. The sides of the poncho have snaps to keep it closed and the corners of the poncho have metal grommets for trying the poncho to things. This design is essentially the same as the [[corp:wickedarms_industries]] TA-18, which was first issued to Star Army soldiers in [[calendar:YE 21]]. The design goes back to long before the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]. In fact, the only real change is that the Type 38 ponchos are printed in with the [[stararmy:Uniforms:RIKUPAT]] pattern.+The poncho is a large rectangular garment constructed of completely waterproof synthetic polymer fabric.
