Intent: A durable yet lightweight armor for Mandalorian scouts.
Development Thread: If necessary
Manufacturer: The Mandalorians
Model: G-7 "Nexu" Scout Armor ( This is a Nexu: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nexu )
Modularity: Yes,
Material: Mandalorian Steel, Duraplast, Ballistic Fiber, Electronics, Armorweave
Production: Mass Produced
Classification: Multi-Purpose
Weight: 7 Kilograms
Quality:
Special Features:
ARMOR:
Strengths:
Description:
The G-7 "Nexu" Scout Armor was born for one need: the ability for scouts to sneak further into enemy lines in order to get the best and most accurate information they could, without those scouts going missing.
The appearance is deceiving, as the armor at first appears to be unable to take a punch. In reality, the design of putting ballistic fiber plates inside the armor plates allows for more solid armor, allowing it to be hit more before compromising, and ballistic weapons or impacts will find it much harder to breach the armor. Although energy weapons will burn through the ballistic fiber plates faster, and rockets, mines, LMG's, and snipers of any kind will shred the armor at varying speeds. This was viewed as a necessary sacrifice in order to gain more agility and speed though, and early tests showed it was worth it. The speed and agility allowed the wearer to retreat from heavily armed or armored units, and offered enough protection that combat against enemies using light or standard armor/weapons was still an option.
As far as the terrain goes, the armor is built to survive almost anything. It's internal systems, which are extremely similar to standard Mandalorian armor, with a few upgrades, are able to keep a scout alive and in good condition in the most extreme conditions. Heat, cold, wind, water, dust, and other assorted products of different weather, nearly none of them can effect the armor. The main causes of the rare times when weather does win, are usually associated with internal system(s) being compromised or malfunctioning.
The armor's systems allow a lot of individuality. The ability to add another HUD setting or Vision setting is a large cause. Along with the fact that the Tactical HUD itself is able to be customized, every scout can feel right at home in their armor. The armor comes with Thermal Vision setting, Night Vision setting, Basic HUD setting ( motion sensor, team is highlighted, compass ), and Tactical HUD setting ( all Basic HUD settings, along with any HUD options the user enables ). But as mentioned, the wearer can upload new Vision settings and HUD settings. And the helmets CommLink is long range, able to work in moderately severe conditions (in extreme cases, CommLink will completely cease to be reliable).
