Despite the fact that the SSPP strives to localize the production of equipment for their fighters, the military does not shy away from seeking help in various external organizations. However, Hector, the result of the collaboration between the Red Shield atelier and SSPP, will not be able to enter "military conveyor" production due to its high cost, which, it must be said, quite matches the characteristics of the exosuit. After receiving a rejection from the military, Red Shield decided to recoup their development losses of this unique equipment by putting it up for sale to external buyers —stalkers and other inhabitants of the Zone.
