AUCTIONED MANDALORIAN ARMOR

A set of likely stolen or otherwise acquired Mandalorian Armor once belonging to a Bounty Hunter auctioned away at The Flanth House. Albeit not a complete set the Amor itself is distinctly and unmistakeably Mandalorian whilst likely hailing from days before the rise of the new Mand'Alor and therefore suffering from its age which is known to not affect these rare sets of Armor. Vintage and vastly superior than the previous Armor worn by its new Owner it serves as a direct upgrade gracefully bestowed upon by their new Employer, this set was not cheap and difficult to get a hands on as its Auction price exceeded the 20 thousand Credit margin common for Exotic pieces of Hardware.

Repainted and personally fitted to its new Owner it inherited the trademark popped collar of its Owner and was stylized in the Colours of the Organization that sponsored this set of Armor, personal preference demanded freedom around the left side of the Hip to reach the Holster resting there without obstructions and therefore left that side completely unarmored. It also featured a vintage Z-6 Jetpack.


LEGALITY

Mandalorian armor, though rare, is not illegal in most places. That said, wearing a full face helmet in public spaces is frowned upon, and often illegal in many core worlds, especially in or near government facilities- not to mention that many identification cards in various systems require a full face photo. This drives many strict adherents of "the way" to operate exclusively on the fringes of the galaxy.

Additionally Mandalorian Armor in the hands of a non Mandalorian can lead to standoffs between traditional Mandalorians as it was common that they questioned the right to wear it if one wasn't of their kind.

Functions



Function 1: Left: Wrist rocket
  • Wrist rockets have a flight range of 100 meters and have a blast radius of 3 meters. They are single-shot devices and require manual reloading after use. They are effective against lightly armored vehicles, moving parts such as gears or hydraulics, and infantry, and do equivalent damage to a frag grenade. The must be manually fired by button or trigger.
Function 2: Jetpack
  • Jet packs are back mounted units used by elite troops increase their mobility on the battlefield. The jet pack's maximum speed is 50 kph and it carries fuel for up to five minutes of continuous flight (flight mode), but can also be fired in short bursts triggered by jumping (combat mode). The wearer can control the system to switch between modes and/or disengage it from their armor via wrist controls. These packs are cumbersome, adding an additional 8kg for the average human (larger individuals will have heavier jet packs to support their weight). While the fuel is stable enough not to explode, direct hits from weapons can trigger the system inadvertently, after which it is rendered useless.
Function 3: Vision Modes
  • This Allows a Helmet HUD to cycle to low-light OR thermal vision modes.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
Function 4: Armorweave Jacket Underlay
  • Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armor, armor 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
Function 5: Right Kneepad Rocket-Dart Launcher
  • The Kneepad Rocket-Dart Launcher is a type of rocket dart launcher worn and fired from a kneepad. It has a 5 meter range and you can fire 4 shots that must be manually reloaded. The darts have a strong impact that can knock over.
