DESCRIPTION
The late Alyosha Drutin owned a suit of cortosis-weave armor that glows in the dark. Perhaps it was made in a misguided attempt to compete with lightsabers in terms of flashiness. Anyway, the lights can be turned on and off, so he didn't look like an idiot trying to be an assassin while walking around wearing a flashlight suit. Upon his death, Alyosha's armor was passed around, eventually finding its way into the hands of one Percival Io.

The armor itself is all about flexibility and restricting movement as little as possible. Consequently, it only provides protection up to a certain point. Like most cortosis-weave armor, it also doesn't completely stop lightsabers - he could still get impaled or have a limb get chopped off, but if it just grazes him, he won't take any significant damage. It is also hilarious to watch the frustration of his opponents as their lightsaber kept turning on and off with every swing.

The armor also comes with a matching helmet, and is pressurized with an air filtration system, so it can serve as an environmental or space suit.
