Recon armor
A suit of light partially-powered armor, designed to permit quick movement. Lightweight plasteel-weave plates block attacks without compromising mobility, and neuro-memetic assistors in the lower body allow a human to wear the armor and still move easily. Armor like this is often used by imperial scout troops and glitterworld police forces.

Recon armor is a set of power armor that forms a full set along with the Recon helmet.
Acquisition
Recon armor can be crafted at a Fabrication bench once the Recon armor research project has been completed. They require 80 Plasteel, 10 Uranium, 3 Advanced components, 45,000 ticks (12.5 mins) of work, and a Crafting skill of 6.
Alternatively, the armor can be received as a quest reward, purchased from traders, or found on Imperial Janissaries and other Raiders.[Which?]
Analysis
Recon armor is the lightest of the three power armors, the other two being marine armor and cataphract armor. It is significantly cheaper, requires less research, and doesn't slow movement, but offers the least protection. The recon armor is roughly equivalent to a Marine armor one quality level below (e.g. a Normal Recon armor ~= Poor Marine armor), or a cataphract armor two quality levels below.
Flak vests alone are much cheaper while providing better Sharp armor, which is the most common type of damage. Unlike recon armor, flak vests can be worn with dusters and flak jackets, bolstering its protection even more. When worn with a duster better than cloth, the flak vest provides superior protection to the torso, neck, and shoulders. The recon armor provides better protection to arms and legs, regardless of duster material, but neither arms or legs are vital to a pawn's life. Note that flak vests provide a -0.12c/s move speed, while recon does not slow the user at all.

Trivia
Every set of Recon armor found on an Imperial Janissary will be black.
