LARK CLAN PATCHWORK ARMOR

A full set of Mandalorian armor that Sarine was able to cobble together from the salvaged parts of her parents' gear. While the armor itself is in incredible condition, most of it being made of durasteel and the shinguards and vambraces made of beskar, the suit is clearly not made to go together. Additional padding and straps have been applied to various places to make it fit the intended wearer and, despite her best attempts, is clearly oversized when Sarine dons it. Any interlocking parts in particular are clearly made of mismatched pairs, an attempt to make armor too big and too small fit just right. Despite the crude look, the work done is functional, providing Sarine with full protection when worn and has the added benefit of hiding her appearance extremely well. Despite this, she tends to eschew most of the armor in favor of just using the vambraces and shinguards, as well as the armorweave, to better mesh with her maneuverability.

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.

INTENT

Armor from Sarine's mother and father, mixed together to make a suit suitable for her personal use.

RESTRICTIONS​

Additional work has been done on the armor by Sarine to make it suitable for her personal use, including extra padding here and there to make some of it fit. Anyone who gets ahold of the armor would either need to be near her size to don it or take some time re-doing the work to make it fit themselves.

Functions​

Function 1: Repulsor - Left Vambrace

• Originally designed to counter combat with force sensitives, this tool is able to project a strong repulsor field replicating a Force push. It projects up 10 meters and its limited power cell only allows for 3 uses before it needed changing. The repulsor has significant recoil and the wielder must carefully brace themselves before use- both to ensure accuracy and to prevent the user from being knocked over themselves or having their arm torn from its socket.
• Force User Compatible?: No

Function 2: Gauntlet Buckler - Right Vambrace

• Liked by bounty hunters and mercenaries, this small deployable shield on one forearm that provides protection over the space of 40 cm diameter circle, which is enough to usually cover the distance of the arm from fist to elbow. It can protect the wearer from 1 medium damage attack or 2 light damage attacks before deactivating. Heavy damage attacks are partially reduced, and deal "bleed through" equivalent to light damage. Once used, the shield must recharge and cannot be used again for the duration of the thread. The buckler has to be manually activated and deactivated. No other gauntlet functions may be used while the shield is deployed.
• Force User Compatible?: No

Function 3: 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.
• Force User Compatible?: No

Function 4: Armorweave 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:Vision Modes

• This Allows a Helmet HUD to cycle to low-light and thermal vision modes.
• Force User Compatible?: Yes
