Armored exoskeleton

The Battle armor was a type of equipment used by the Lost Tribe.

Overview
This suit of armor encompassed the entire body of the members of the Lost Tribe making their immediate identification difficult to determine. At first it was believed that the battle armor was the equivalent of Earth SWAT members but the fact that the aliens continued wearing them after the battle meant that they served another purpose. This form of equipment also created a digital voice of the user masking their origin to outsiders.

The armor had a wide range of technological abilities imparted on its user which included:
 * the ability to jump from great heights and descend from a flying ship to the ground through the use of thrusters.
 * a holster where an energy weapon was located.
 * a control on the left arm that activates a circular shield that can protect from projectile weapons to a limited degree.
 * a self destruct that activates if the suit was damaged.
 * a controller on the chest that remotely activates other Lost Tribe technology.

History
Three members of the Lost Tribe wore their battle armor when they invaded Atlantis and moved towards Janus' lab.
