- (+) Songsteel: The lightweight material makes the Aegis much easier to manipulate and control than other armours of it's strength. It also allows for significant protection against most forms of energy, specializing against lightsaber combat.
- (+) All-Terrain: The suit has many components working to ensure that the Aegis can survive almost any combat terrain and conditions, allowing for many layers of levelling and climate control.
- (+) Comfortable: The Aegis uses a suit seal to become very tight against the skin, allowing the user to feel unencumbered by it. This allows a more natural feeling fighting experience and a lack of loss for speed.
- (-) Physical Energy: Though Songsteel is formidable against most energy forms, it's lightweight design leaves it vulnerable to objects that focus more on destruction. Under the pressure of a weapon made of steel, effects of the force, or even strong unarmed individuals, it's lightweight nature can mean a lack of protection on the wearer's part.
- (-) Low-Armoured Areas: Though the Chest is well protected, many areas of the Aegis lack proper defences. The upper legs are only protected by the lightweight body glove which can be burned through by most blaster fire, disabling the mobility of the wearer. The head is completely unprotected, leaving one of the most vital areas open to attack.
DESCRIPTION
[member="Kailari Selanno"] used the resources at her disposal to create her own lightweight and comfortable armour, making use of Valkori Tech facilities located on Zakuul. She spent significant time on the design of the armour, not letting the want of protective armour get in the way of her strive for artistic beauty. It was this certain vanity in the aspects of her designs that left some of the areas less protected than others, refusing to hide her face away beneath a helmet for example.
The suit was named after The Old God of Passion, Aivela, who charged into battle with her brother Tyth and inspired the warriors of Zakuul with her light. It was this story that inspired Kailari to create her own suit of armour, despite her distaste for combat. Reasoning it as a symbol to help inspire the people of Zakuul, it was also nothing more than a vain project of hers to once more have all events of Zakuul focus around her. This is why the suit is built as close-fitting as it is, Kailari wishing to use it to enhance her attractive features instead of focusing on actual combat purposed. It does do it's job however, and the white-gold colour of her Aegis is easily visible in the grittiness of combat.
Almost all of the practical aspects of the armour come from Kailari's elder brother, Theran. He used his combat experience to help add and remove certain areas of the suit that he deemed either essential or impractical respectively. The idea to add the dispersal technologies was his attempt to help keep his sister safe, and examples of features he had removed were mechanical wings that extended out of the back of the armour with a golden glow. They had no practical use a normal jetpack or rocket boosters wouldn't be able to match and would more than like encumber his sister, who already had a lack of experience on the battlefield. Working together on the design, Kailari had her top engineers personally construct the armour to specific detail and eventually the armour was crafted and has only limited battlefield experience and is mostly used in her training.
