DESCRIPTION
The Beskar'gam worn by Clan Gred has seen a unique transition over the year, with one major even at it's root: The invasion of Mandalore and Concord Dawn. Clan Gred had already had a tendancy towards lighter armor designs, and the resource limits of living in space stretched this idea to the limit. Alu'skar was developed to help stretch limited supplies of Beskar, and other metals easily found in scrap, predominantly durasteel and alusteel, would begin seeing more use in plating, and the plate armor would be focused on protecting the torso and head. If there is an armor piece that is pure beskar, it is usually the "heart" of the chest piece. Along with this, limiting the armor plate made it easier to maneuver though tighter spaces in starships thanks to added flexibility.
The other major change was that the clan, surprising, grew during their time in space. With the Gred Fleet being tooled to protect large fleets of non-military vessels, many spacers would join the fleet for safety, along with Clan Gred's continued anti-slaver campaign. While joining the clan wasn't required by any means, many did become adopted into the clan, bringing their own thought and traditions with them, and leading to many changes for added equipment. This lead to the light armor often being paired with various armorweave coats and cloaks from spacers or beskarweave cloaks to help supplement armors that lack plating. These few things are essentially all that unifies the design of Gred armor, as design specifics vary between individuals, with the mess of different things itself almost being the best identifier for the loosely connected clan.
Despite the variety of armors, in general they are all roughly are protective as each other, focusing more and energy protection than kinetic, along with being surprisingly light weight in build. Like most Mandalorian armor they are also highly modular in the kind of equipment they have, including dart launcher, Whistling Birds, whip cords, range finders, various HUD systems, buckler energy shields, crush gauntlets, lights, cybernetic integrations and more.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Varied construction.
- Light weight.
- Modular.
- Well suited for operating in tighter spaces.
- Individually tailored and forged.
- Limited protection for limbs in most armors.
- Not well suited for stopping kinetic attacks.
- Cloaks and coats, when there, could be easily grabbed.
- Since many were built with limited resources, quality and materials can vary, and replacing plating can be difficult depending on the material.
