The Mantle
The Mk. IV Obscurus, or “The Mantle”, is a set of pre-packaged armour useable exclusively by Shadow Conclave members, created with ease of use and versatility in mind while allowing the Conclave to mass-produce it with minimal cost. The suit of armor is designed to be as customizable as possible, allowing the user to optimize the amount of protection and gear for the mission at hand.
The suit is primarily comprised of an Armourweave and Nomex bodyglove/flightsuit for basic protection. It also comes standard with an adjustable Armourweave hooded cloak interwoven with Scatterweave. The armour plates are made from Armorplast and are coated in Scatterweave. All three variants have armour plates protecting the front and back of the torso, with a flak-resistant vest underneath. The medium variant has added leg and arm plates, and the heavy version is upgraded with full body coverage.
Logically, the Light and Medium variants offer the highest mobility, whereas the Heavy configuration provides the most protection at the cost of movement. In addition, Force Users are unable to utilize the suit’s Functions.
