When connected, a pilot's racecraft becomes an extension of their body.

During the early years of the HS300 League, spacecraft were much simpler, following the typical framework of a sit-and-go vehicle. However, as improvements to spacecraft opened up new opportunities for pilots, it was realized that normal human input and analysis can only go so far. So, in 2768, specialists in RSEC engineered the SUO Headbrace standard for teams to follow, along with some necessary technology to be used.

The Synaptic Universal Operator
Before, headbraces weren't widely used in the league, with the few exceptions being from Epsilon & Stile-RD. These headbraces were primarily designed for communication, as well as to monitor the pilot's vitals. Other teams used more traditional technology, which typically ran cheaper and was more reliable.

RSEC, however, was interested in the headbrace technology being used, specifically in Epsilon's application. So, while the majority of RSEC & the ISF were busy investigating the REDEX crash matter, RSEC's innovation sect requested the aid of Epsilon's technological department in creating a headbrace for widespread use in the league, to which Epsilon happily agreed.

During the early spring of 2768, RSEC & Epsilon revealed the Synaptic Universal Operator concept to the public.

Connection
One of the key features of the SUO Headbrace is its seamless integration with a pilot's racecraft, creating an interface where the pilot's movements and intentions are translated directly into the ship's maneuvers. The joystick & throttle configuration are still present, and are mandatory to operating the craft, but the additional micromovements interpreted by the SUO headbrace allow for more precise pilot control. 

This connection goes beyond control, essentially turning the craft an extension of the pilot's body, enhancing responsiveness and control precision.

Monitoring Vitals
The SUO Headbrace is able to monitor vital signs and physiological data, and transmits this data to team specialists in real-time. This information is valuable for the crew and medical teams, providing insights into the pilot's condition during races or emergencies.

A year later, this would be used in tandem with Hades' LG-X impact reduction technology.

In 2770, the SUO headbrace would be re-engineered to fit the necessary Adrilator technology, designed to increase pilot endurance.

Ship Telemetry
The SUO headbrace also acts as a conduit for receiving ship telemetry directly to the pilot's brain interface. This instant feedback loop ensures that pilots have immediate access to critical information such as engine performance, energy levels, and environmental conditions, empowering them to make split-second decisions with precision.

Communication
A standout feature of the SUO Headbrace is its ability to interpret brainwaves intended for vocalizations. The main caveat about Stile-RD's & Epsilon's headbrace technology revolved around the complete locking of the jaw (for safety reasons), preventing crucial communication outside of preset voice lines. With SUO, the headbrace translates the pilot's thoughts into vocal commands, which can be transmitted through a radio system. The voice made by the headbrace will sound identical to the pilot's, utilizing a voice model trained with the voice of the pilot during calibration. When outside the ship, these commands are played through a speaker discreetly integrated into the chin of the jawbrace, ensuring clear and efficient communication between pilots and their teams.
