Description:
Strengths:
-Lightsaber proof, blaster proof, blade resistant
-Light weight
Weaknesses:
- Zero kinetic defense; while this armor is blaster and lightsaber proof, as well as blade resistant, it does nothing to dampen any damage dealt by these weapons or any weapon. The results can be broken bones, internal bleeding, medical trauma, and even death.
- “Loud” Force Aura; beings that are force sensitive in the least will sense this armor coming from a mile away. It makes it impossible to hide from them while wearing this.
- *When a slugthrower or blade are used against this weapon, all the piercing or slashing damage is negated. However, the full front of kinetic impact is dealt to the wearer resulting in brusing, broken bones, internal bleeding, and/or medical trauma.
Local lore holds that a Jedi knight long ago came in contact with a Sith; they were trapped on Haruun Kal in the most dangerous and uncharted parts of the planet after a crash during a space battle. Ordinarily they would kill each other before they teamed up, but these were no ordinary pair. The Sith was not exceptionally evil and the Jedi was not exceptionally good.
For the sake of survival they teamed up together and made two pairs of armor for the hide of Akk hounds they killed in defense from these beasts. According to the legend, they alchemized, Force imbued these suits of armor, and poured all they could into them for several weeks so they would have a chance to survive when they searched for safety. The legends hold that both sets held both the powers of good and evil, resulting in neutrality. In truth, the Force had been imbued to it in only neutrality, neither light nor dark. At last the armors were completed and they both began a perilous trek to safety. Along the way they fought to protect and save each other, what had started out as unlikely allies turned into the two men falling in love. When they escaped from the dangerous portions of the planet each were told by their orders to choose either love or their religions. Both men retreated into exile, getting married and becoming hermits on the planet. But it was not to last. Sith and Jedi both hunted them down, seeking to destroy this armor. When the men were killed, one suit of armor was found, the other could not be discovered. It had been sold to a local for the land they had. From there it passed form hand to hand over several centuries, until it was lost in a cellar, only later be discovered by Akio during a fight with an assassin from his past known as Kuroi.
