As a complicated piece of technology, Marine Armor can only be made at the [[Fabrication bench]] and requires [[Research#Marine Armor|Marine Armor]] to be researched in order to be constructed. Crafting the armor requires {{icon|plasteel|220}} plasteel, {{icon|uranium|20}} uranium and {{icon|advcomponent|4}} advanced components and {{icon|gold|10}} gold.
  
Alternatively, the armor can be received as a [[quest]] reward, purchased from [[traders]], or found on [[Raiders]].

{{Apparel Move Speed Note|0.40}}
 
 
 
When worn by a [[slave]],{{IdeologyIcon}} prestige marine armor increases the rate that [[suppression]] is lost by 30% per day. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.

Prestige marine armor improves a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 5%, and improves the pawn's base [[Psycasts#Neural Heat Recovery Rate|neural heat recovery rate]] by 0.033 heat per second, though this will be modified by their psylink level. This primarily improves a pawns psychic power, but note that it also makes them more susceptible to psycasts themselves, as well as [[Events#Psychic Drone|psychic drone]]s. This increase is inferior to the [[eltex vest]] that the prestige marine armor replaces, but in exchange it is significantly more protective.

Prestige marine armor improves a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 5%, and improves the [[Psycasts#Mechanics|Psychic entropy recovery rate]] by 1 per 30 seconds.

This increase is inferior to the [[Eltex vest]] that the prestige marine armor replaces, but in exchange it is significantly more protective.
  
Protection-wise, the prestige marine armor is exactly as defensive as regular marine armor. Marine armor is the middle tier of the three types of power armor, the other two being the inferior [[recon armor]] and the superior [[cataphract armor]]. As expected, it is also the middle tier in expense and protection as well. While it provides the same coverage, Marine armor is roughly equivalent to a Recon armor of one [[quality]] level above (e.g. a Normal Marine armor ~= Good Recon armor), or a Cataphract armor one quality levels below.

Compared a [[flak vest]] and [[duster]], the marine armor offers strictly superior protection to the arms and legs when all items are the same [[quality]], regardless of duster material. The interactions of two layers are dictated by the games [[Armor#Armor Rating|Armor Rating calculations]], and the result is that marine armor provides torso, neck and shoulders protection approximately equivalent to the combination of a [[devilstrand]] duster and flak vest, assuming all items are the same quality. However replacing the devilstrand with [[hyperweave]] or [[thrumbofur]] results in more protection to those areas. So while marine armor is more protective than a devilstrand duster and flak vest, when compared to better duster materials, the overall impact of the opposing traits of superior arm and leg protection and inferior torso, neck and shoulder protection on pawn survivability is currently unclear. However in this comparison, it should be noted that several vital organs are in the torso and the destruction of these can result in immediate death. It should also be noted that marine armor comes with a [[Move Speed]] debuff of -0.40 c\s, while a flak vest has a penalty of only -0.12c/s meaning there may be a reason to choose the flak vest and duster even with inferior protection.
