- The Medhir Armor MK II is an iterative upgrade to the previous armor utilized by the standard ground forces that serve Darth Arcanix. The armor maintains phrik and trilamnium as the core materials used in its creation, however the armorsmiths at Vulcan Foundries have added a laser-reflective coating to the armor plates on the wearer's chest to give it even more protection from blaster fire.
- A common feature mandated by the Lady of Secrets, the armor is equipped with a storage and recharging dock for support drones developed by Aurora Industries for the soldiers use in the field for greater flexibility and versatility while in a combat scenario.
- The armor makes use of the same nanite technology from the previous armor, although some upgrades have been made by the Anomid Doctor Votoc to both the shield and melee nanites. The shield can now produce an electrical field similar in nature to a stun baton that can stun enemies that have been hit with it while the structure of the nanites has been improved to take enemy fire better. The melee weapon nanites retain their ability to emit the monomolecular energy chord, but now the wearer of the armor can shift the energy field the nanite emit to something similar to a railgun that allows small portions of the blade to be broken off and launched as a high speed edged projectile at enemies.
- The armor has been equipped with a few extra components and features over its predecessor.
- Due to the use of the trilamnium in the armor, corrosive materials can severely weaken the structural integrity of the armor.
- While the armor has an average protection from ionic and EMPs, such weaponry can short out the drone dock and the Nanite Storage Dispensers, eliminating their use until the systems can be rebooted, or if the damage is severe enough, until they can be repaired out of combat.
- Due to the trilamnium in the armor, sonic weaponry can crack and shatter pieces of the armor easier. Additionally, full on sonic weaponry, not vibro-weaponry, can disrupt the cohesiveness of the deployable shield and sword, allowing blaster fire or an enemy blade to slip through.
- While the melee weapon can be fired off in chunks at enemy forces, doing so does deplete the nanite storage container, reducing the length the blade can take and eventually can even result in the blade being unable to form until the canister is replaced.
- Like many armor systems in the galaxy at present, the Medhir Armor can do little if hit with a disruptor weapon as it breaks down the molecular bonds of the armor itself.
With the swiftly coming conclusion to the Third Imperial Civil War, but with the galaxy even more chaotic than before, Darth Arcanix had decided her own personal forces were due for an upgrade. A new armor system was designed by the armorsmiths at Vulcan Foundries, with input from several Aurora Industries engineers, to craft a Mark II version of the Medhir Armor for the ground forces that served the Lady of Secrets.
Improvements were made to the special nanites utilized to form the shield and bladed weapons, while an additional layer of protection was added to the chest plates to make them even more resistant to blaster fire than phrik typically was. More components and features were added into the armor over the previous version as well, including an underlay that allowed quick infusions of bacta in case of injury to the wearer.
