This has probably been asked and answered many times. I can't remember if it has or not and I don't have luck looking things up so,,, Does the Coalition States have Dead Girls? I know women serve in the CS Military. There's pictures of them in uniform but none in armor. At least not that I know of. I've always gone with there are but is Dead Girl Body Armor different from the Dead Boy Body Armor? I know there's more feminine style body armors in Rifts but does the CS have specific armor for women or is it a case of whatever fits?

Thanks :)

CA-3 "...is typically reserved for female troopers,..."
CA-4 "Females who can handle the weight and bulk are also allowed to wear standard "Dead Boy" armor.

As for not appearing in artwork, well the CA-3 mentions "The helmet is often given a plume or pony-tail of hair-like fibers to denote female officers and wilderness scouts; spikes are used for psionic officers." Which means that some artwork might be depicting females and it isn't noticeable otherwise (unlike RT's CVR-3). This might also extend to other CS suit types.
