STRENGTHS
- The MK-I Solis Pattern Armor is engineered to withstand the full spectrum of modern battlefield threats. Its primary shell is forged from duraplast, a dense, non-conductive material known for dissipating both kinetic and energy-based impacts. Over this is layered titanium plating, shaped and bonded in Caelus Forgeworks' forge-lines to better disperse concussive strikes and direct blaster bolts. The plating does make the armor quite heavy for your average soldier however.
WEAKNESSES
- Despite its impressive resilience to physical and energy damage, the MK-I Solis Pattern Armor remains vulnerable to ion and sonic-based attacks. The armor's sealed electronics suite—which includes life support, HUD display, auto-syringe systems, and integrated comms—is protected by only minimal EMP shielding due to internal power load concerns. A well-placed ion grenade or EMP burst can overload these systems, temporarily blinding the user, locking servos, or rendering the helmet inert.
- Additionally, the armor's rigid construction transmits vibrational forces with dangerous clarity, making it highly susceptible to sonic weaponry. Sonic rifles or concussive pulse grenades bypass the armor's structural strength by shaking the soldier within, disorienting or incapacitating them without penetrating the shell.
DESCRIPTION
The MK-I Solis Pattern Armor was the first major output of Caelus Forgeworks, conceived in the deep forges beneath Morellia by order of Dominus Kaelor himself. Designed not as a prototype, but as a declaration, the armor was intended to serve as the foundational warplate for an army not yet born—an elite legion of warriors that would one day bring order to a fractured galaxy. Kaelor demanded perfection: a shell that could endure blaster fire, shrug off kinetic punishment, and resist even the edge of a lightsaber. No compromise. No weakness. Only function and domination.
Though Kaelor's command of ancient war doctrine was flawless, his understanding of modern galactic warfare had gaps. Technologies had shifted during his long sleep, and what once defined battlefield supremacy had evolved in subtle and treacherous ways. Yet the engineers of Caelus Forgeworks—loyal to his vision and inspired by his authority—bridged the gap between the ancient and the modern. They wove together legacy principles of armorcraft with current alloys and battlefield data pulled from scavenged blackboxes and intercepted military logs.
The result was the Solis Pattern: layered duraplast reinforced with reactive titanium plating, molded with reverence and tested against every threat their limited resources could simulate. While Kaelor's chosen lacked the numbers to truly field an army, the armor was created in bulk—waiting, sealed in racks, their golden visors gleaming silently in the forge-halls. It was not made for patrol duty. It was not designed for defense.
It was made for
war. For conquest. For the day the legions would march.
