Protective Measures Based on Atmosphere

The various atmosphere types require specific personal equipment for survival and protection.

Codes 0 and 1

No atmosphere and trace atmosphere require use of a vacc suit and associated support equipment.

Codes 2, 4, 7, and 9

Tainted atmospheres require the use of specialized filter masks.

Codes 2 and 3

Very thin atmospheres require the use of compressors to insure sufficient oxygen to breathe. The tainted very thin atmosphere requires a combination respirator/filter mask for survival.

Codes 5, 6, 8

Thin, standard, and dense atmosphere are breathable without assistance.

Codes A

Exotic atmospheres require the use of oxygen tanks, but protective suits are not usually required unless corrosive or insidious.

Code B

Corrosive atmospheres require the use of protective suits or vacc suits.

Code C

Insidious atmospheres are similar to corrosive atmospheres, but will defeat any personal protective measures in two to twelve hours.

Codes D, E, and F

These represent "Unusual Atmospheres" with special conditions such as Ellipsoid Atmospheres. The worlds are partly covered with a breathable atmosphere. The survival gear required depends upon where you are located.
