Sontaran Security Space Suits

Stark white spacesuits worn by Sontaran scouts Erak and Zake as they track the Doctor’s landing at the ruins of a Transmat Station. The suits’ bulky helmets with narrow visors obscure their identities, their form-following construction emphasizing mobility for combat stances. Zake levels a weapon through the helmet’s transparent faceplate, while the suits’ encrypted comms crackle with low-pitched warbles that heighten the tension as Erak slips away to gather reinforcements.
