Line 23: Creating a new suit began in January [[3058]] as military engineers ran hundreds of designs through computer simulations and created dozens of prototypes, seeking a balance between cosmetic appeal and battlefield effectiveness. After months of work a final design was agreed upon, although the differences between the new suit and the original Standard turned out to be more than cosmetic: the redistribution of armor plating had increased leg protection at the expense of upper body protection. While there were some misgivings, in the final analysis it was discovered these alterations also gave superior dexterity to the trooper compared to that of the Standard. Reluctantly the officers in charge agreed that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks and approved mass production of the suit, which started in June of that same year.<ref name=TRO3058u/><ref name=LOS/><ref name=FMFS/> Creating a new suit began in January [[3058]] as military engineers ran hundreds of designs through computer simulations and created dozens of prototypes, seeking a balance between cosmetic appeal and battlefield effectiveness.
