Imperial Knight Light Armour
The standard issue light armour presented to Imperial Knights upon completion of their initial acceptance into the organisation. The red armour is specifically designed to be uniform in nature similar to other military branches uniforms. When members join the Imperial Knights they get both a set of standard and light armour to allow them to adapt to different Quests and Missions.
Although not standard issue, Imperial Knights often supplement their standard set of armour with a helmet.
LEGALITY
The armour is only legally able to be worn by Imperial Knights, any attempt to purchase and wear the armour otherwise is a criminal offence.
Type and Coverage
Type: Medium
Coverage: (Coverage regions for Light armor is 1-3 regions, Medium is 4-5, Heavy is 6-7)
- Torso: Duraplast Chest and Abdomen Piece
- Lower Arms: Phirik bracers covering the forearms
- Lower Legs: Duraplast Shin and Calf guards
Functions
Function 1: Armorweave Accessory (Hooded Cape)
- Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armour, armour weave provides some protection against the penetrating effects of shrapnel from explosives and other unpowered high velocity impacts, with only a small amount of bleed through damage (bruising or very minor wounds). It offers no protection against kinetic impact or energy, vibroweapons, or similar "powered" weapons. Having more than one accessory (example: Cape + underweave) provides no additional effect.
- Force User Compatible?: Yes
- Computer spikes are used to forcibly decrypt or unlock computer terminals. Most civilian systems can be cracked in one posting round, while most military or hardened systems take two or more.
- Force User Compatible?: Yes
- Life support boxes are emergency gear designed to be worn in conjunction with other safety equipment, such as vac-suits and rebreathers. The device can be manually activated via a switch on the chest box, but most also automatically engage when exposed to vacuum. When activated, the device projects a small mag-shield "bubble" around the user that is just strong enough to contain a tiny amount of livable atmosphere. Life support boxes double the protection provided by vac seals and rebreathers. Without other protective gear, the life support box itself provides only 3 rounds of protection. The system also contains a high power distress beacon that the broadcasts the pilots precise coordinates to any ship within a parsec. The distress beacon can be manually deactivated, and can broadcast for s much longer time than its wearer can survive.
- Force User Compatible?: Yes
- While it is not rated for extended exposure to extreme hazards, this body suit (when combined with an enclosed helmet) can protect the wearers body from the effects of environmental and weaponized toxins and similar hazards for up to 5 posting rounds.
