Enhanced Modular Body Armor



Enhanced Modular Body Armor (also known as EMBA or, alternatively, EMBER) was one of many military products commissioned and manufactured by the Firm after the fall of civilization in the year of 2011 / 2012, derived from the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) first employed by the United States Army in late 2007. Composed of a bulletproof vest (officially referred to as Advanced Outer Tactical Vest in the testing reports), insertable ceramic plates (known as Advanced Protective Inserts and Advanced Side Ballistic Inserts -- or API and ASBI respectively), knee and elbow pads, aswell as a bulletproof groin protector. All of the outer components used by this suit of armor are covered in a ladder-like grid similiar to the MOLLE (pronounced Molly) system which had seen wide-ranged use in many armed forces, before the 2011 incident.
