History & Background (Dossier)
Vacc suit technology begins for most sophont species with underwater diving suits of various types from the earliest bathysphere to later, far more sophisticated rebreather suits. Most sophonts achieve interplanetary space travel by the TL:7-9 epoch and the first space suits are designed, really vacc suits designed to support life in a vacuum.
By the TL:13-15 epoch, vacc suits have considerably shrunk, become vastly more comfortable and ergonomic, and far more capable. [5]
