- Eleleth Ultralight Propulsion system - Primary repulsor on base of back plate. Control repulsors on limbs
- Optional Kalderweave Cape in Solus colours with safety release fixings.
- Tough Armour - In common with most mandalorian armour, Mairéad's suit is very tough, the relatively low coverage of armoured plating is balanced by the body conforming energy shield.
- Well equipped - capable of flight and able to perform multi-role missions, the suit makes Mairéad an extremely flexible combatant.
- Skirmish - Mairéad refera to her suit as skirmish armour as while still a heavy suit of armour, it is lighter and more flexible than the popular fully armoured suits. This allows the wearer to maintain their maneuverability.
- Power reliant - The suit of armour is dependent on being powered to have optimal performance. A large portion of the suit is only protected by the body glove when unpowered which only provides limited defense. Additionally the dreamsight system provides a lot of utility to the suit and there is limited vision out of the helmet without power.
- Glow - The use of the shielding gives the armour an eerie blue glow at the joints and over parts of the body suit making stealth in darkness more difficult
- Limited firepower - When compared to a lot of other Beskar'gam variants, this suit is fairly lightly armed with all of its weaponry having limited ammunition supplies on board. Particular compared with suits that use energy weapons powered by on board reactors.
- Not an infallible shield - The Skjöldr emitters have to be small to fit into the joints of the armour so the shield is much weaker than would normally be provided by a large central dedicated shield generator. It is still effective in most instances, but can be overwhelmed.
After joining house Solus and becoming a mandalorian Mairéad, like her new vod learned about the construction of armour and was assisted in developing and building her own suit. She used both her connections within the House and her connections within The Family to acquire different types of technology and systems that allowed her to build the suit if armour she wanted.
What she ended up with was a fairly advanced and flexibility, albeit comparatively lightly equipped suit of Beskar'gam. By reducing the amount of armoured plates in favour of modern energy shielding she maximised her ability to use her own natural abilities. This was a compromise though as the shields work out to be less effective than additional armoured plating.
