Forum:KB:Umbaran Soldiers

This is something that has been bothering me since this story arc was shown. Why is it that soldiers with the Umbaran militia would need to wear those pressurized gas suits on their own home planet? I was reading through a few of the articles and one of them said that it fed a potent gas which improved their performance; but why would it prove fatal to one of the soldiers if the seal or the glass on thier helmet was broken as it showed in one scene?-- CT-1987 15:11, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
