The “Eidolon” was designed to have maximum protection at an absolute minimal cost. It is lightweight, low profile, somewhat form fitting, and is even able to fit underneath standard uniform without standing out. More recently, the suit has seen action in the form of a scout suit for Forward Observation Units and Intelligence Agents who prefer something more 'subtle' than Terran Marine combat suits. Because of this, the suit is not very popular; most Terrans, and even Terran Scouts, prefer to fight Drathonians head on.

The Eidolon protects it's user from potential harm with a multipurpose ballistic rated and energy absorbing gel weave under alloy plating. The protection of the suit is vastly inferior to the newer “Paladin” combat suits and even the older “Savior” models, and in some cases inferior to even the natural scales of the “Grunt” Drathonians. Any one panel can take three or four tightly clustered hits from standard Drathonian infantry weapons before failure, while glancing blows tend to boil off layers. The suit enhances the user's speed and agility utilizing a cheap polymer that responds to the body's natural neural impulses.

The suit is coated with a special blend of light bending material, pigment and other compounds which allow the suit to rapidly blend into the environment. When holding still, the passive abilities of the compounds combined with the on board computer's ability to direct the coating's actions allow the suit to produce a camouflage pattern that compensates for the angle of view. The system is not perfect, as dirt, filth and other things getting stuck on the suit make it appear out of place. In addition, movement disrupts the camouflage process, reverting the complex mimicking pattern into a digital pattern.
