Space suit (TOS)

For other items of this type seen in the Re-imagined Series, see Space suit.

In the rare times where Colonial Warriors or other staff must work in low-pressure or vacuum environments, a space suit^[1] is needed.

This somewhat-bulky suit consists of a bubble-shaped helmet, connected to a flexible pressure suit with a life-support backpack. Two large hoses connect to the helmet to provide and to clean air to be scrubbed for unbreathable gases from expiration.

Apollo dons a space suit in an attempt to reach areas of Galactica during a dangerous shipboard fire (Fire in Space).

These suits aren't used during Viper flights; Colonial Warriors do not wear any life-support gear during their flights. In the Viper's cockpit, Warriors wear a helmet for communications and their standard uniform in most instances.^[2]
