The helmet, though retaining influence from the classic Corinithian helm of antiquity, was leaner and had a more predatory look to it. The improved rebreather and filtration system allowed for a narrower 'chin' than the Erebus pattern did.

It would be centuries, though, until Keres Aegis was tested in battle, after all but few Kalshodar had abandoned Gaia althogether.

Unfortunately, it failed the test.
