Like [[power armour]], Terminator suits have an outer shell of [[ceramite]]-bonded plates powered by electrically-motivated fibre bundles. Plates of heavy [[plasteel]] further armour the ceramite sections, especially on the front of the suit. This extra armouring provides a level of protection that is far superior to normal marine armour; not even a [[Missile launcher#Imperial Munitions Types|Krak missile]] will penetrate the suit's breastplate.{{Fn|7}} It has even been noted to allow its wearer to survive being stood on by a [[Titan]].{{Fn|1}} It also contributes to the immense weight of the suit, making the wearer less maneuverable and slower. External [[adamantium]] ribs help support this weight, while the inclusion of [[suspensor]]s help the suit carry heavier support weapons.{{Fn|3}} At least models of Terminator suits also incorporate some sort of [[force field]], although this differsby model.{{Fn|12}}{{Fn|30}}
Displayed on the left shoulder of every Terminator suit is the [[Crux Terminatus]] badge - those worn by Terminator [[Space Marine Captain|Captains]] are said to contain a piece of [[One True Armour|the Terminator Armour]] that the [[Emperor]] wore when he fought [[Horus]] during the final battle of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|2}}
