FERUS’ VÚLFURIAN BESKAR’GAM
A heavy suit of Mandalorian armor, personally crafted by Ferus to suit his burly build and the ancient Vúlfurian traditions. The helmet is particularly noteworthy due to the rounded shell reinforcing the remainder of the helmet from incoming blaster fire, an uncommon addition found mostly on helmets forged following Vúlfurian traditions. The helmet itself is a standard Mandalorian helmet with a T-shaped visor and built-in communications gear. Directly linked to the helmet is another uncommon Vúlfurian addition to the usual beskar’gam design: a gorget protecting the neck.
Although not designed to provide any defensive capabilities, the nerf-leather duster coat is as much a piece of the armor as everything else. Tailored to directly receive both the reinforced shoulder plates and the Mandalorian vambraces, the duster also has several pockets to house tools, ammunition, and demolition equipment. The remainder of the armor closely resembles the Mandalorian heavy armor used by the old Mandalorian heavy infantry, although Vúlfurian craftsmanship is employed.
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. However, Ferus was not raised as an adherent of the zealous Children of the Watch creed and is willing to remove his helmet in most social scenarios.
INTENT
Mandalorians are as much defined by the armor as their personality, considering it’s a central aspect of their culture. Thus this armor serves to provide Ferus Vúlfur a unique set of Mandalorian armor that is suited to both his character and combat-style.

Functions
Function 1: Z-6 Jetpack
- Jet packs are back mounted units used by elite troops to 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.
- Component of the Mandalorian vambrace. 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.
- Component of the Mandalorian vambrace. The whipcord launcher was a personal weapon that fired a thin fibercord whip which then wrapped around and ensnared the target to restrict mobility up to 10 meters away while remaining attached to the mount point. It was detachable with a second use of the firing button. The whipcord launcher was favored by bounty hunters, as it was easy to carry and use and it virtually always ensured a live capture, though it could be cut by a vibro blade with ease.
- Component of the Mandalorian vambrace. Wrist flamers are rare, expensive, and dangerous armor attachments favored by mercenaries and soldiers more than bounty hunters, and are illegal in many systems. Wrist flamers are powered by small fuel capsules, and typically hold enough for 3 short bursts of flame. These bursts last 2 seconds, are one meter wide and have a maximum range of 3 meters. The weapon must be manually activated via button or switch, and must be disassembled to be reloaded.
- Component of the Mandalorian vambrace. Whistling birds are an extremely rare and powerful device for dealing with multiple assailants. Requires an enclosed helmet or visor for use. Can target up to four visible enemies within a 15 meter radius of the wielder and fires miniature seeking rockets at each. Each rocket deals light explosive damage and additionally causes a light concussion grenade effect (half effectiveness) within half a meter of detonation point. A whistling bird magazine typically carries 12 rounds before having to be replaced.
