Ashin Varanin
Professional Enabler
Image Source: [here]
Intent: Personal armour for Ashin Varanin.
Development Thread:
- Recycled from this.
- Materials procurement, including shield generators.
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Personal
Modularity: Backplate can fit most jetpacks/repulsorpacks, or an air tank.
Production: Unique
Material: Phrik. Rubberized boot soles.
Classification: Multipurpose
Weight: 10kg, not counting helmet and shield generator. Phrik is very light, and the original suit weighed 10kg also.
Quality: 10
Special Features:
- Tenloss Warrior Helm, with plating swapped for phrik to match the rest of the suit of armour
- Holsters for two sidearms and sheaths for various knives
- Radiation deflection badge
- Exemplar-class personal energy shield
- Vacuum/environmental seal
- Power armour liner (as in Boba Fett’s armour)
- Combat de-ionizer (manual)
- Korriban Compass (left bracer)
- Hard-sound guns with sonic stunner functionality
- Knuckle-plate vibroblades
- Crushgaunt functionality (phrik, not micronized beskar)
Limitations include the following:
- As with Ashin’s previous armour, the neck is potentially vulnerable. Protected only by a power armour liner, it is probably the weakest point in the armour’s coverage.
- As with all plate armour, blunt force trauma is a thing. Enemies may not be able to pierce or deform Ashin’s armour, but they can certainly turn what’s inside to pulp.
- Though phrik is light and Ashin has spent a long career in armour like this, wearing full-body plate has implications for mobility and flexibility, especially since -- apart from the crushgaunt servos -- the armour has no assisted-movement servos.
- Though the armour can seal against vacuum, it carries no potentially volatile air supply. Even with breath control, then, it is only useful for relatively brief cold-shirt crossings, unless fitted with a vulnerable air tank.
- The combat de-ionizer must be removed from the belt and used by hand.
