- Duraplast shielding - Features a duraplast coating designed to shield from EMP and Ionic devices.
- Cyber-psycho reduction - Powered by electrical brain signals and Shuts down between inputs, reducing exposure and therefore risk of developing Cybernetic Psychosis from extensive use.
- Head Trauma - Cranial damage may result in damage to the implant, requiring surgical operation to make repairs.
- Overload - Attempting to control numerous devices at once may overload the user with stimuli. It is recommended that uses limit use one device per input.
- Muscle Memory - Seamless use of multiple devices in rapid succession may require repeated use similar to muscle memory before perfecting a string of actions.
Huds up display, communications channels, wrist rockets, jetpack thrusters. All of this and more controlled by a clumsy wrist panel. To the average Mandalorian, technology could be as much a burden as a way of life. It was overbearingly complicated, and it was inefficient.
But what if their Armor, the "Iron skin" as it was called in their native tongue, truly was an extension of the body?
With the invention of the Neural Link chip, Aloy Vizsla turned her armor into exactly that. It had it's quirks initially, the prototype being bulky and uncomfortable, but it worked. With many years in the field, she had time to iron out the kinks as an armorer does to Beskar. Each new model was smaller, sleeker, faster, until one day the final product was no larger than a human thumbnail, and it's use was almost subconscious. Maneuvering one's body via jetpack became easier than piloting a starfighter, commanding a rocket or activating a life saving oxygen supply more intuitive and faster than breathing.
Maybe the galaxy's invasive super-soldiers could react faster, but they still relied on manual input. On the speed of flesh and bone.
But with this perfected device, the underdogs had ascended beyond such primitive restrictions.
