OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Advanced combat armour created for Gellenbright's special forces units, the DS-202 'Myrmidon' is a heavily-altered variant of the more common 'Hoplite'. Myrmidons are made from beskar synthesised in Atomic Forges and bonded with titanium to compensate for Globex's lack of Mandalorian armourers. It is noted to be highly resistant to most weapons, but cannot withstand sustained contract with or repeated strikes from a lightsaber.
Myrmidons are compatible with a wide variety of advanced components and are generally custom-fitted to a specific user.
If worn by droids such as Scions, life support and the like is typically replaced with enhanced Ion/EMP-protection and more muscle filaments.
- Intent: Flexible combat armour for special forces, well-funded bounty hunters, and the like.

- Myrmidon armour is made from a durable titanium-beskar alloy, trading the legendary protectiveness of proper beskar'gam for cost efficiency and enhanced flexibility. Synthetic muscle filaments built into the armour make wearers faster than their unarmoured counterparts and permit impressive feats of Jedi-like acrobatics, with sufficient training. These same filaments can be used to keep the armour walking/swimming as a wearer rests or even sleeps - a useful feature when inserted deep behind enemy lines. Adrenal injectors can wake the wearer in an instant.
- Myrmidon armour can reprocess waste and transfer nutrients/water to the wearer; it can be worn for months at a time if necessary.
- Myrmidon armour comes equipped with all the features and capabilities one would expect from equivalent armour, e.g., life support, helmet sensors linked to weaponry, comms, grappling hooks, vital monitors, neural interface integration, and a gravpack or a jetpack.
- Myrmidon armour is covered in specialised Reflec-Camofibre coating that combines the advantages of adaptive camouflage with moderate sensor-baffling properties. While hardly equivalent to cloaking devices, this coating is more than sufficient to, e.g., render special forces all but undetectable as they swim towards a target underwater or crawl through the underbrush; it is much less reliable without cover.
- Recon-Assault: Myrmidon armour is resilient, flexible, and outfitted with the slew of advanced features needed by special forces.
- Fried Circuitry: Even weak to moderate EMPs will cause visual glitches in the Camofibre coating; while fairly resistant to ion weapons and EMPs (see 'Energy Weapons' under Resistances), Myrmidons have unusually many disableable components.
