- Classification: Light Powered Armor
- Weight: Heavy
- Resistances:
- Energy: Very High
- Kinetic: High
- Lightsabers: Low
- Other: EMP/Ion: High
- Helmet: The helmet of the Pinnicale Armor is equipped with an internalized version of the OS-129 "Delphi" Military HUD and Scanner, which includes basic lifesign and energy scanning over a 75 meter radius, friend or foe HUD tagging system, nightvision and infrared vision as well as a standard-long comlink system
- Plug-in ports - The suit also sports two plug-in power ports (two on the wrists), that allow for the user to plug in additional aftermarket combat accessories in order to enhance some of the suit's already present abilities or create new ones.
- Camouflage System: The top portion of the durasteel plating has been coated with pigment changing micro-projectors, allowing the user to change their armor's color scheme to more closes match their surroundings. This provides a rough estimation of the colors of the backdrop and is not a true mirroring of the terrain around the user. This program can also be used to display preset unit markings and basic military type camouflage patterns.
- Jump Jets: The suit is equipped with a scaled-up version of the OS-112 Valkyrie Jump Jet System, which allows the wearer to make small jumps upwards, forwards and backwards for short periods. It is not a jet pack and does not allow the user to fly.
- Servo enhanced speed and strength: The suit has been built over a endo-skeletal power frame which uses micro servo motors to offset the heavy weight of the armor system. A natural byproduct of this is that while the suit is operating, it gives the wearer slightly increased strength and speed.
- Resistant to Blaster and Kinetic Fire: The suit is highly resistant to incoming blaster and kinetic forms of attack
- Resistant to EMP/ION/Energy Dampening Attacks: The suit's components have been insulated against EMP/ION type energy dampening attacks
- Increased Strength and Speed: The endo-skeletal power frame on which the armor is built gives the wearer slightly increased strength and speed while the armor system is operating
- Maintenance Heavy: The Pinnacle-Class power armor utilizes advanced state-of-the-art combat technology. As such, it requires a high level of maintenance to work optimally. If maintenance is neglected, then the suit's various systems can quickly begin to malfunction to the point of being inoperable.
- Highly Susceptible to Lightsabers: The Pinnacle-Class armor has low resistance toward lightsabers or weapons employing similar technology.
- Heavy: The Pinnacle Class armor is very heavy to move in and requires a servo-assistive endo-skeletal frame in order to be usable by most species. If for any reason this system is damaged or otherwise made inoperative the entire armor system becomes completely inoperable and is essentially frozen in place.
- Prohibitively expensive: Due to the expensive nature of the suit's components, along with the very difficult and intensive processes needed integrate them, each of these suits is extremely expensive. As a result, they can only be deployed on a Limited basis within the Royal Hapan Crown-Guard Regiment of the Hapes Consortium
In order to keep the Hapan Crown-Guard Regiment at the pinnacle of technological ascendancy, a suit of light powered armor was constructed for the members of the Elite Hapan unit. Based heavily on designs created by Obsidian Star Technologies for the Antarian Rangers, the suit provides the wearer with superior protection to most kinds of attacks, as well as the ability to use jump-jets and increased strength and speed.
