If their suit get's ruptured, regardless if they're a military suit with advanced shielding and whatnot, THEY WILL DIE. The pressure suits are integral to their survival, volus CANNOT survive without a high gravity comparable to their homeworld are they will literally split open. The thing with the vorcha is having them in combat does not break the lore at all, in fact they're literally bread for combat.
