Vitiion's Ubese Armor
Vitiion wears a unique form of traditional Ubese armor that both embraces her heritage and pays homage to her place in the Jedi Order. The ensemble consists mainly of a full bodysuit, topped with a simple leather and linen tunic designed to keep out the elements, and to keep the wearer warm (The thin atmosphere of Uba IV is very hot and dry, and many Ubese are uncomfortable at temperatures most beings would consider normal), topped with a heavy layered cloak. Hidden beneath the cloak and over the tunic is a Jedi utility belt. On the utility belt's clasp, where traditionally the wearer would engrave a sigil indicating which Ubese clan they were a member of, Vitiion wears the Rising Phoenix symbol of the Jedi order, with etchings in the Ubese language circling it.
The armor's protective elements consist mainly of a simple blast vest comprised of armor plates is worn beneath the outer layer of linen in order to protect the wearer's chest and back. The innermost layers of clothing is actually an environmental bodysuit used to ward off the effects of the many toxins and hazardous chemicals prevalent on Uba IV and elsewhere throughout the galaxy.
The outfit is completed by an iconic helmet which makes the armor memorable, but is also vital to an Ubese's survival in the wider galaxy. Vitiion's helmet is hand crafted of cortosis weave alloy, plated in polished bronze with an opaque black visor. It incorporates several survival functions, including a specialized filter that allows her to breath the type 1 atmosphere common to most inhabited worlds, as well as a more industrial rebreather function for emergencies, and a heads up display that relays the atmospheric composition of the air around her.
Overall, the traditional Ubese garb provides decent protection combined whilst allowing the user to maintain good mobility. A simple and effective combination that serves its wearers well.
LEGALITY
This armor is quite simple and it is not adorned with any features or gadgets that would be considered illegal by galactic standards. It is not overtly Ubese, which might invite scrutiny from those wary of the species, however it is not uncommon for people to be skeptical of someone who never takes their helmet off.

INTENT
The intent is to provide a generic and lore friendly armor for Ubese characters.
RESTRICTIONS
Seeing as the armor is hand crafted and is inextricably linked to the Ubese people, it is pretty much used exclusively by Ubese warriors. This armor could be acquired by a non-Ubese person if they were to take it from the corpse of a dead warrior or if they somehow convinced the Ubese to give it to them willingly, though the Ubese are not known to be accepting of outsiders.
Theoretically there is nothing stopping someone from copying the design and trying to craft their own version of this armor but there is nothing particularly special that would warrant an outsider going through the trouble to do so. Also, the Ubese people are know for being hostile and would not take kindly to a non-Ubese person donning their traditional garb. This armor is generally restricted to Ubese characters and NPCs.

Functions
Function 1: Filter
- Filters are bulky attachments to a helmet, or function as part of a mask, that filter out environmental contaminants such as smoke or most toxins. They are susceptible to caustic substances and damage.
- Rebreathers allow for a person to survive underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath. Generally this lasts for 3-4 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
- Reads atmosphere composition and detects toxins.
- While it is not rated for extended exposure to extreme hazards, this body suit (when combined with an enclosed helmet) can protect the wearers body from the effects of environmental and weaponized toxins and similar hazards for up to 5 posting rounds.
