- Iridescent dragonskin leather blocks most forms of energy
- Science Fiction Indeed: Dragonskin leather is tough enough to withstand blaster bolts, lightsabers, and other forms of plasma energy and heat.
- As Hard As Dragon Skin: This leather also boasts considerable protection against kinetic attacks.
- Acid: If not removed quickly, acid will eat through the leather.
- Disruptors: Even a glancing hit will severely damage the leather, potentially even causing it to disintegrate.
- Expensive and Hard to Find: Chaldean dragons only appear once every seven years, are found on only one planet in the entire galaxy, and the hunting of their kind for their skins is heavily restricted due to their rarity. Thus, obtaining dragonskin can be rather difficult and costly.
So you're about to go into battle against enemies armed with blasters, vibroblades, and probably a few lightsabers. What do you wear for the occasion?
Probably some type of phrik/beskar armor.
... Okay, yeah, but what if you don't want to wear tons of shiny metal? What if you're looking for something a little more low-key and less heavy?
That's where dragonskin leather comes in. It's tough, it's durable, it's lightweight, and it looks pretty cool. As long as you don't run into acid or disruptors on the field of combat, you should be fine wearing this.
On the other hand, it is pretty hard to find and expensive. If you have the money and the connections, that won't be too much of a problem. But if you don't... oh well. Best stick with that beskar armor, bud.
