Strengths:
-Jango’s bones, my blaster shots are bouncing off?!?- Ultrachrome armor plates are ridiculously resistant to blaster shots, which usually end up being reflected or otherwise dissipated off of the suit in a brilliant and pompous rage.
-This scumbag chrome dome just won’t die!- A lightsaber wielder might be surprised to find their saber attacks potentially absorbed by the superconductive nature of armor. Glancing strikes from the iconic weapon system might simply singe the paint. Low to moderate caliber slugthrower shots most likely would shatter against the plate, and the fungi/toxin resistant metal in combination with internal air scrubbers means that deploying poison gas or gels would not result in the desired effect of killing the stormtrooper fighting in this armor set.
-Backup! We need reinforcem-SIZZLE- Dazzling design and modern technology synergize in such a way that can potentially turn an already highly effective operator into a treacherous, perilous tour de force upon the battlefield. Foes unable to coordinate their attacks or exploit the suit’s limitations might find themselves little more than ripe prey for the Huntress.
Weaknesses:
-Ah! Hot! Hot!- Superconductive and higher than normal absorption means maintaining a constant connection with a lightsaber (holding it against the suit) would cause the armor plates to eventually melt into slag. One could only imagine the excruciating death that would entail for the user trapped inside. Going along in this similar vein: sustained flames would also overwhelm and broil the supposed huntress into little more than galvanized soup.
-Shock and awe- Electricity is highly effective at short circuiting and overwhelming the protection of the suit due to limitations in its design and removing all excess rubber to remove as much weight as possible. Enough of a jolt of Force Lightning or a well aimed ARC-caster could quickly incapacitate or outright kill the unlucky chrome clad user of this suit.
-A good smack will wipe the smile off her face- While thrusting attacks and edged slices would have a Nether of a time gripping or penetrating the armor, a specific method of forging makes the metal prone to malfunction against blunt, flat strikes. Hit her with a rifle-stock, or a pan, or a bookshelf, and most of that kinetic impact will reverberate against the user’s body. Combine this with electricity (such as in the case of a Z6 Riot Control Baton) and you could potentially crush the armor and painfully fracture it off -needlesstosay, an effective way of ending a killstreaking First Order goon.
-This concert is too loud- More shortcuts and adhering to strict weight limits meant removing the underlay that protects against sonic based weapons. Shots that connect would cause a shaking, skewering pain. Sustained fire could pound against the suit and cause veins or organs to shatter and fail.
-Twice the pride; double the fall- Anyone arrogant enough to insist on wearing a cape into battle can find themselves caught or trapped by said cape and pulled down.
DESCRIPTION
Slowly the Major, premier operator and First Order spy, continues to degrade as a person as she moves further and further away from the tenants of the Fallanassi faith or trust in the Force, and further retreats into a fractured psyche -away from her allies. This suit represents an antithesis to almost everything someone of her upbringing should stand for: it’s highly visible, it’s designed entirely for combat, and it’s pompous and expensive. The irony isn’t lost upon her, however. Reports have indicated that a number of other troopers and operators have noticed words painted on the chest plate or upon the sides of the helmet. They vary from things like “Walking Trash,” or “Garbage,” or even “Sell-Out,” to blasphemous messages paying homage to the Netherworld, occult expletives, and in one case the phrase: “A Devil is a Devil is a Devil is a Devil.” When confronted on these violations of First Order property, the Major laughs it off or explains it away as, “Experimental psychological warfare on our enemies.” No record of such research exists as either a project or in the archives.
