- Damage Resistant Stealth Suit, with Stealth field Generator that not only reduces a person's presence in the Force, but visually conceals them and a Sound Dampening Stealth Unit altered by Alkahest to provide as close to true total silence as possible. Overlay of Kerestian Light Absorbing Cells, also altered by Alkahest
- Full range of movement
- Alkahest Fingerprint Masque System in gloves
- SVC-700 Voice Scrambler
- Concealed Escape Kit
- Built in Tech Specialist Belt
- Built in False Eye Technology in Mask
- Night Vison, Thermal Vision, and Binocular visual systems
- More than a man: The suit is fully protective combat scout armor, allowing for survival in a wide range of scenarios, and contains potent tools to defeat multiple forms of military grade security, such as finger print mask tech built into the gloves and false eye tech in the mask that have been altered by Alkahest to have a better chance of fooling biometric security systems to help defeat finger print and eye locks. It also contains a voice scrambler that creates distortions that prevent eavesdropping from electronic means as well as a concealed escape kit
- The Hero We Deserve: It possesses a number of Alkahest stealth systems, such as a Stealth Field Generator that reduces one's Presence in the Force as well as visually conceal and a Sound Dampening Stealth Unit that was altered with Alkahest to be so quiet even those with extremely sensitive hearing would potentially have extreme difficulty hearing the User. and the Light absorbing Cell overlay means the user can creat a radius of near Pitch Black conditions up to 4 meters in size
- Watchful Protector: The suit has a number of enhanced visual systems, including Thermal, Night, and Binocular modes
- Unbiased: Absolutely will not function in Force Voids
- Unprejudiced: though the altered stealth systems lower the odds of being detected by Force Users, even cleaning Droids have a much better chance of perceiving the field, limiting it's utility
- Fair: The only way to use the fingerprint masque and false eye tech is to physically touch and stare into the eyes of the person whose biometric data needs to be captured
- The Only Morality in a Cruel World: Its outdated electronics make it highly vulnerable to EMP and will require extensive repairs due to its particular materials. You're not fixing this with some random, off the shelf kit. Also, due to its age, its stealth functions may randomly shut on and off for about thirty seconds every once in a while. It's really matter of chance.
- Stealth Limits: It's stealth field systems can only be active 21 minutes before needing a period of 35 to cool down and recharge. Also, they cannot both be active at the same time, also, Force Users skilled in illusions can perceive the user, especially those who practice white current techniques, and Dark Masters can perceive their presence, especially if they are aware of a threat of intruder to begin with. Followers of the Disciples of Twilight who regularly use The Force to alter their vision would be able to perceive the user through the stealth field. Light Side Users can sense it from a distance
- Dark Side: Waves of Darkness or bolt of Hatred can cause significant damage to it's Alkahest parts
- Energy: Electrical surges can completely fry the electronics, requiring extensive repair. Ion damage can shut it's systems down for a half hour until it reboots and has no resistance to sabers and very little to blasters
The armor of Nathan Arnold Bloodscrawl, birth name of Morris Crownwraith, the man who gave Elaine Tear to the Cult of The Brain Demon, resulting in the creation of The Battalion. The Lone Survivor of a massacre instigated by Elaine at the Estate of his Family over the issue of some sort of lost Light Side Superweapon whose location the Bloodscrawls preferred to die over to conceal, Nathan suffered from Post Traumatic Stress over the incident for years which he carefully concealed from other Jedi in order to hide the fact that a single Bloodscrawl had survived. This armor is a family heirloom, passed down from Father to Son. The Bloodscrawls were once considered the Warrior Poets of Ession, and of the Anarchy that was often present on Ession during the Gulag Plague, the lands controlled by the Bloodscrawl Family were among the few havens of order during those times. Morris never took this armor into battle, forced to conceal it in order to keep up the Lie that the Bloodscrawls had all died. His own wife never even knew about it. The Battalion discovered it after going over to the remains of the Bloodscrawl's Estate on Ession before the Plague crisis ended, apparently having been laid to rest there by Morris himself. The Battalion confiscated it, never realizing the connection to Morris until the modern era when she learned the truth. This armor was gifted to Percival as a peace gesture given recent events, as The Battalion sincerely did all she could to allow his beloved Rebecca to surface more from the depths of the Witch called The Deluge, only able to note in private the irony that Percy's "Grandfather" hated her as much as Percival himself hates The Amalgam for corrupting the Woman he loved.
The symbol at the center of the chest is the family crest of the Bloodscrawls, called the Fanged Chevron. Ancient Bloodscrawl Jedi would paint it over their eyes before going into battle. It's horned appearance is a distinct style native to Ancient Ession
