Armoured Exosuit Mk II

"Oh look, it's our Seppie counterparts!"

- A Clone trooper upon seeing AE-II equipped troopers

The Armoured Exosuit Mk II (Often abbreviated to "AE-II") was a model of full body armour developed by the Techno Union Earth Division for use by the elite troops of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The suit was developed from the earlier Armoured Exosuit Mk I, which was a prototype developed by Zarkan Arms and was considered too unwieldy and expensive for large-scale service thanks to the huge battery needed to power it thanks to the comparative primitive battery technology used by Earth before contact with the Separatists, with the Mk II TUED was able to use advanced battery technology to both shrink the size of the battery down to a more efficient size and increase its power and longevity before needing to be recharged.
