STRENGTHS
- Resilient: This armor set, with both plating and armorweave, is resilient against many damage types and hazards on the battlefield.
- Variety Of Options: The vambraces are tailor built for assistance in both capturing and killing opponents. The gauntlets also support a holocomputer.
- Flexible: The metal plating of the armor can be pulled on or off. When the metal plating is not worn over the armorweave, flexibility is doubled. Even with the metal plating on, however, the suit is far from cumbersome or restrictive.
- Stealth Tech: The stealth tech added to the suit is good for more covert missions.
WEAKNESSES
- A More Ancient Way: The metal plating of the armor can be pulled on or off. While the optional plating can be quite wonderful in some situation, this means that the plating is not attached to the armorweave, like with many over armor types, and lacks insulation. The helmet cannot be air sealed with the rest of the armor. Furthermore, the two layers of armor are completely different in their protective capabilities. This means weakness is more likely to be exploited.
- Lack Of Insulation: The lack of insulation due to suit and armor design means that against the vacuum of space and some harsher elements, the suit performs pathetically.
- Left To The Elements: This armor does not double as a winter coat or protection against lava planets. There is not suit provided air conditioning, and there is no technology provided warmth for colder climates.
DESCRIPTION
With the retirement of her Heavy Imperial Armor, and feeling less comfortable in her official Light Imperial Armor, Aoki Mira has commissioned her trusted Serenno smiths to create a completely new set of armor more geared towards her Atrisian heritage than her Imperial Allegiances. This new armor held many similarities to her previous sets, as well as some differences. It is versatile and easy to use, equipping and aiding Aoki Mira in battle. A cross between lighter and heavier armor sets, this is a one size fits all suit geared towards Aoki's own fighting style and traits.
