 ===== Equipment =====
 With the diverse array of equipment available due to how many civilisations have contributed their knowledge and armaments to the Defence Directive, equipment is split into broad groupings.
+^  :!: **This section is incomplete! There is lots more to come!**  |
 ==== Weaponry ====
 The UDD's arsenal requires a vast amount of logistics to keep organised and supplied adequately.
-  * Handguns
+  * **Handguns**
-    * **Mk.8 Laser Pistol** - A laser pistol with a self-replenishing battery magazine and the ability to charge a powerful shot, this standardised sidearm of the UDD has seen decades of war. It has few moving parts, leading to better reliability. The internal battery holds fifteen shots, and recharges one shot per ten seconds via movement. Can be fired indefinitely if connected to an external power source.
+    * **[[weapon/mk_8_laser_pistol]]** - A laser pistol with a battery-buffer magazine system, and the ability to charge a powerful shot. This standardised sidearm of the UDD has seen decades of war. It has few moving parts, leading to better reliability.
-  * Submachine Guns
+  * **Submachine Guns**
-  * Assault Rifles
+    * **Snapshot PDW** - A T-shaped machine pistol boasting a compact, robust stamped steel receiver and body, and a telescoping stock. Often employed by shieldbearing troopers and vehicle crews for its handy size and mobility.
-  * Battle Rifles
+  * **Assault Rifles**
-  * Sniper Rifles
+    * **Service Rifle System** - A highly modifiable conventional rifle system, chambered in a 6.8mm cartridge. The standard main-arm of the UDD fighting force, deployed in battle rifle, rifle, carbine, and 'stubby' configurations.
-  * Grenade Launchers
+  * **Battle/Sniper Rifles**
-  * Rocket Launchers
+    * **Spotter's Rifle** - A long-barrelled laser weapon with a powerful scope, and an integrated designator system for artillery spotting or information gathering. A battery magazine's contents can be discharged all at once for a powerful strike capable of damaging light vehicles.
-  * Missile Launchers
+  * **Shotguns**
+    * **Jaguar Claw** - A semi-automatic cousin to the [[weapon/tiger_claw]] pump-action shotgun, this weapon is intended for room-clearing combat. With a banana-shaped magazine and distinctive muzzle brake, it has a fearsome reputation in close quarters.
+  * **Grenade Launchers**
+  * **Rocket Launchers**
+  * **Missile Launchers**
+  * **Melee Weapons**
+    * **Survival Axe** - A light hatchet, with a hollow portion, a rubber handle, and a spike behind the axe blade. Useful for cracking through armour, or getting by in the wild. Can be turned into a makeshift torch.
-==== Armour ====
+==== Apparel ====
+  * **Riot Shield** - A five to six foot tall slab of metal and ballistic fibre, these are ideal for blocking bullets. In addition, the frontal portion of the shield is coated in a fine, energy-weapon dispersing mesh, allowing it to remain effective against lasers and electric weapons. The peephole can be covered with a hardened, transparent [[material/hellenium]] window.
+  * **War Shield** - Built much like the Riot Shield, this round shield is two to two and a half feet in diameter, and intended for use by more mobile troopers. Some are fitted with a sharpened edge, proving the best offence is a good defence.
+=== Uniform ===
+|  :!: Image coming soon.  |
+This fatigues of the UDD are reasonably comfortable, and capable of . Worn over this is a ballistic vest, with chest space for storing ammunition. A belt and harness system keeps the weight of the body armour well distributed. The forearms of the uniform are banded over, binding the remainder of the uniform's fabric down, reaching just under the gloves. In hot climates, these may be removed and the sleeves rolled up. Space for a name tag is on the chest of the uniform, ranks presented in badges worn by the neck, and squad or flag patches shoulders are stuck to the shoulders with velcro. The slacks are made of khaki, with cargo pockets for additional carrying capacity.
+It is made out of a cotton/canvas weave, ballistic weave on points of stress and where protection is needed, plastic zippers and velcro for fastening, and a layer of neoprene for comfort and heat retention. On personnel armour, there is a thick ballistic weave, combined with ceramic trauma plates for primary protection. On additional armouring, non-newtonian shock absorption is integrated - and it's in the boots too! The helmet's visor is a dense polarised plastic, providing eye and sun protection.
+//Colours and patterns are still being figured out.//
 ==== Vehicles ====
-==== Space Ships ====
+  * **Picket Jeep** - A diesel fuelled off-roader jeep suited to the outdoors. A low centre of gravity ensures the vehicle won't roll on tight turns. They make excellent reconnaissance or scout vehicles, and are capable of mounting a machine gun, but lack armour.
+  * **Palisade Armoured Transport** - A six wheeled, heavy-framed urban response vehicle with a light autocannon mounted to the top. Performs admirably off-road as well, and can carry eight troops in the back with a driver and a gunner. Also great for cargo.
+==== Spacecraft ====
+  * **Space Patrol Fantail** - The lightest of the UDD's space presence, this combat-ruggedised [[spacecraft/fantail]] uses its cargo space for an enlarged sensor supercomputer, expanded powerplant, hotter running power distributor and cruise engines, and suitable payload space for the ship's weapons.
+    * Fitted with two beam lasers, and an autocannon on a turret mount - all forward facing.
+    * Can mount dumbfired rockets or point-defence systems.
+    * For how lightly they're armoured and general-purpose they can be, they're not intended to be sent alone or expected to fight - unless in a wing of six or seven and supported with dedicated fighters.
+    * Sometimes fitted into ultralight troop transports.
