The various Terran military factions all benefit from the hardware and advanced weaponry produced by the colonies of the Koprulu Sector. Many of the factions are fond of modifying their weaponry based upon the specific customs or preferences of their combat group. Although most Terran tanks, starfighters and war machines were designed and produced by privately owned corporations, the plans and technical layouts have been stolen, pawned, smuggled out and put into the hands of various faction scientists.

When the Terran Confederacy was first formed, it controlled nothing but the planet of Tarsonis, but its leaders were ambitious. They had the technology and the will to expand their sphere of influence beyond their sole planet and star system. To begin this endeavor, the Tarsonian Orbital Platforms, a series of construction, scientific, and defense stations, were built in orbit of Tarsonis. Representing a huge investment of capital and time, the Tarsonian Orbital Platforms were to become the jewel of the Terran Confederacy for many decades. To build these massive space stations, the Terran Confederacy employed a new type of space suit, one that was much larger then a normal suit, but provided amazing strength and versatility to the wearer. The suits, known as the Space Construction Vehicles (SCV for short), became a common sight on the orbital platforms and their success in that operation prompted the leaders of the Terran Confederacy to use a similar design in construction projects on the surface of Tarsonis.

Now, many decades later, the current version of the unit, the T-280 SCV, is a staple in intra-colonial construction and engineering. The units have unmatched reliability and versatility and can be seen operating in the depths of space to deep underwater. The SCV's are used by both civilian construction companies and by the military's engineering corps, but they both use the same common version. Over the years, the suits have received small upgrades, mostly in the protection it provides the wearer, but it has never lost its ease of use or reliability. If you need something built quickly and built well, a unit of SCV's are worth their weight in gold and some colonies built by the Terran Confederacy began as little more then a handful of SCV's, their operators, and their families, but are now bustling metropolises.
