{{Trivia}}
In the initial publication of [[Dark Heresy: The Inquisitor's Handbook]], the helms '''Boarding Armour''' was stated to include a respirator. An eratta was released later, detailing that a respirator was not included and only the void suit instead. Feasibly, this is reflective of it making more sense that such a suit should not have a filtration opening exposed to the vacuum of space.{{fn|11}}{{fn|12}}
