Miyuki Field Armor is engineered to support a wide range of operations. Its lightweight construction ensures that it does not hinder agility, making it suitable for both reconnaissance missions and direct engagements. The armor's insulation properties are particularly valued in regions prone to adverse weather conditions or where electrical hazards are prevalent. Its unique design pays homage to traditional aesthetics ranging from Nabooian to Imperial, incorporating patterns and motifs that reflect the rich heritage of the Miyuki Trade League. This cultural nod is enhanced by the use of a quartet of carefully selected protective materials.

MTL's first live mission with the field armor was a salvage expedition to Formos. The Miyuki Field Armor's lauded performance saw it propel to the front of MTL's personal defense lineup. In the years since, Miyuki has worked to perfect its field armor, adding accoutrements such as an armorweave kama and detachable bandoliers for increased modularity. By the late 890s, most Miyuki field operatives had adopted the field armor as their preferred garment.
