Skakoans require methane to live, and wear special pressure suits to emulate the conditions on Skako. They start the game with a specialised pressure suit with methane respirator, which counts as armor with indefinite supplies of methane. The suit has +2 soak, encumbrance of 3, 3 hard points, cannot acquired unless on Skako (at a price equivalent to laminate armor), and cannot be worn by other species. Skakoans treat standard planetary air pressure and composition as a corrosive atmosphere with rating 6.
