Tiger Personal Armour Kit
An evolution of the Arbitrator Personal Armour Kit the Tiger evolution is meant to be accommodating to the aquatically inclined. Manufactured by the DDI subsidiary Celestial Apparel Technologies aka CAT the company's abreviation is one of the reasons behind its name. It is the first true marine set of armour the company has made thus far.
Since there are numerous naturally submerging species this suit is made in a variety of sizes and fits various species. Mon Calamari, Nautolan, karkarodons, etc. All these species can choose to forgo the enclosed helmets if they wish and instead get a wrist mounted interface as well which come standard even with the helmet. They cam also forgo the finned boots and webbed gloves but this also removes the environmental seal that is otherwise provided. They can still use some of the voice commands though they will not benefit from the head protection and the visual assistance of the helmet if they wish to not wear one. The gloves come with webbed fingers and the boots have moderate fins for moving around underwater.
Maintenance is required as per usual with underwater gear. maneuvering in this gear takes training and it is often like learning how to first fight so one cannot simply dawn the suit and expect to fight just as easily as they would on land. The T.P.A.K. is much clumsier and awkward to wear out of the water if not accustomed to them. The protective factors mostly pertain to underwater activities. the fins however are capable of telescoping outward. however if heavily damaged they will be fixed in the position they were damaged in.

Functions
Function 1:Advanced Heads Up Display
- The Heads up display on the Tiger is just as vital to the user as it is on the earlier Arbitrator variant. It provides real time information on the surrounding environment like water compositon, temperatures, depth and air supply so the wearer does not risk rupturing a lung. A waypoint system with compass directions, giger counter and armor seal integrity as well. The HUD can only be directed using command words with preset directives for only internal use (can't use it to interface with another terminal aka standalone). It can use both long range and short range communications. The HUD is also designed for low light environment but is susceptible to sudden and exceptional bright flashes.
- The heavy suit allows for it to be air tight and filter out water contaminates. The breathing supply can be customized to contain the gas necessary for any species and is not limited to oxygen but can be used by Kel Dor and other species that breath other elements as well though this air supply can naturally only be shared by similar individuals. The same goes for moderate radiation and can be limited to even less time if in direct presence of a high radiation substance like nuclear material. however this is for latent radioactivity. The suit is filtered from poisons and the body suit protects against stingers and minor tears that would otherwise harm the user or endanger suit integrity. This function also helps keep the wearer's body temperature regulated at safe temperatures in extreme conditions. Some waters are extremely warm when close to underwater volcanic activity as well as limited arctic temperatures. This can degrade the suit over time as well and may require replacement parts in the long run. The helmet can protect the wearer deafening sonar sounds that can cause extreme disorientation or even hearing loss.
- The Shell-back is the term used for any backpack or containment unit that the wearer bears on their back. This is typically a propulsion assistance system that helps speed the user through the water ways at a maximum of 5 knots. Species like mon calamari and karkaradon naturally may be able to swim faster than this and so there are other options as well as some bodies of water are not very deep and don't require such rapid movement. This propulsion can be exchanged for double the breathing time (additional 1 hour) or an environmentally sealed containment device that can carry explosives, artifacts, ammo or additional gear. No matter what the suit comes with a standard air supply of 1 hour.
Function 4: Dealer's Choice
- The user may request the 4th and final function of the armour at their own discretion. This can magnetic boots, wrist mounted vibro blade, internal vitals monitoring, or net launcher with a single reload capable of restraing a wookiee sized target.
