How does armor work in Solar Echoes? (part 2)

Though some races can easily share armor with others, other alien races have more extreme physical differences than the bipedal races. Even the Humans and Reln sometimes have their own specialized armors, though they can share with each other, considering their physical similarities. The plant-like Erwani--with their 4 vine-like arms, multiple roots (their “legs”) and leafy body—use armor that is essentially plating connected by cords, which drapes over the Erwani's thin shape. The insectoid Chiraktis wears armor that is tailored for its shape, and Chiraktis Battle Armor is famous for its thermal resistance. Krissethi armor is entirely transparent, which allows the Krissethi to fully utilize the camouflage capabilities afforded by the chromatophores in their skin. Archaeloids often go without armor, as their naturally hard shells serve as excellent protection for most of their bodies. The amoeba-like Omul, however, can choose to fit into the armor of just about any race, and can even walk around in humanoid battle suits, though the constraints upon their mobility sometimes cause Omuls to prefer going au naturel.
