Antares's Armour

Intent: To provide Antares Windu with an armour set that could protect him from the bag of tricks that is Mandalorian armour. More times than not, they are filled with unseen equipment (flamethrowers, retractable blades), and will allow Antares to better combat other dangerous enemies. Overall, it is to be used as a multi-purpose armour set, for combat, to environmental situations.
Development Thread: (Started a new one with Mia Monroe. Will link when completed.)
Manufacturer: Republic
Model: Windu Armour Set.
Affiliation: Antares Windu.
Modularity: Yes.
Production: Unique.
Material: Beskar, leather, cloth padding.
Description: The armour is thick enough to block several direct strikes from a lightsaber in the same spot, though if the beam remains in the same place unhindered, the beskar plating will surely begin melting underneath the constant heat of the plasma blade. It is also capable of resisting several blaster bolts to the same spot, though, the chances of the same spot being hit while always moving is rear.

With a heat sensor within the helmet, even through smoke the sensors will be capable of locating an enemy. In times that the Force is being blocked, with the inlaid communications system, he is able send and receive communications upon secure frequencies. Also, within is an oxygen filter to filter out the bad things within the air, and only delivering the breathable oxygen. (Mostly so there is no reason for a Hazmat Suit.)

With the gauntlets are retractable blades capable of being deployed from what appears to be the knuckle area of the gauntlets. The blades are also made out of beskar and with the same quality as the whole of the set, they are able to withstand a few strikes from a lightsaber blade, though they can be melted within moments. Simply for their thinness. The blades themselves are five inches. The retractable blades are capable of being stored within the crushgaunts in a folded position along the top of the forearm. There is one blade in each gauntlet. With the blades located along the top of the forearm, it will take three seconds for the full five inches of the blades to emerge after sliding through it's guided path and out the wrist.

Classification: Multipurpose
Weight: 22kg
Quality: Class 9.
Other Feature(s): Communications System. Retractable blades. Heat Sensor.

@[member="Antares Windu"] - I can't approve a devastating defeat where you take two hits and conveniently pass out in your last post. You'll need to find a better defeat to get approved for full-body beskar.

There's a few things to know about beskar. For one, it's very, very heavy. Average non-beskar Mandalorian armor is 10kgs; most Mando players will tell you that their beskar'gam is at least 20kg. Even if you make it durasteel, 10kg would be appropriate.

A 360 degree HUD will be VERY disorienting, especially in close combat. Please trim it or include that limitation.

A rubber bodysuit might allow the armor to function as a Faraday cage and shunt electrical current around the body harmlessly. However, rubber of the necessary thickness would be very, very hot and very, very problematic for dexterity, to the point where you'd be constantly flailing around. Either remove the rubber bodysuit, or include those serious limitations.

How do you deploy fifteen-inch blades from your knuckles?

I remove the 360 degree HUD, rubber suit, and lowered the fifteen inch blades to five inches.

More details in the edit.
