Temperature Suits
Temperature suits, also known as cold suits, are extremely well designed, and are crafted with a level of care that often eludes the Nurnites. They are given to children at birth and are designed to be modular enough that the suit can essentially grow with a Nurnite. One could liken their suits to a spacefaring vessel; if damage is dealt to one area of the suit there are internal seals that will activate to ensure that any damage or infection does not spread to the rest of the body. The material of the suits protects from: harsh temperatures (both hot and cold), the vacuum of space, and radiation. There are stories of Nurnites sleeping in the midst of snow storms and waking up the next day with no lingering issues. Suits also have the equivalent of docking ports that can connect male and female suits for the purpose of mating. Many Nurnites go their entire lives without ever seeing their reflection.
On Nurn there are various retailers that sell suit parts that can be integrated into a Nurnite's temperature suit for both practical and cosmetic purposes. To utilise one of these parts a Nurnite must go to a specialist engineer, known as a surgeon, to implement the modification into the suit. Both of these services can quickly become quite expensive depending on the modification in question. There is even evidence to suggest that a black market exists for suit modifications that are considered illegal by the The Independent Peoples' Democratic Union of the Grand Republic of Nurn, as well as back alley surgeons to implement these devices. The IPDUGRN is vocal in their disdain for these illicit practices and have branded the buying, selling and implementing of these illegal modifications as highly punishable acts.
