- Spinal Cord Connectors: Through points along the body and the spine the wearer becomes directly attached to the armor, instead of wearing it, the armor becomes a part of the wearer, enhancing his speed and strength with its servos and own power generator. The movements are transmitted to the limbs as well as to the armor.
- Tactical HUD: An interactive connection to the armor integrated sensors and scanners as well as fleets scanners, sensors and strategium gives a 3D HUD with the possibility to access a large variety of information. Tactical display and map, troop locations, targeting reticules, range finders, ultraviolet vision, infrared vision and night vision, as well as interactive com-link and holo-transmitter. The HUD works on thought activation. The helmet offers a strong increase of all senses, both due to the sensors and scanners and the natural enhancement of the wearer connected to them.
- Internal power supply: A miniature power generator with a high energy output and high durability, but extensive maintenance if failures occur.
- Life support: The armor features a rebreather unit to clean dirty or toxic atmosphere, allowing for unlimited deployment in Type III atmospheres but also allowing deployment in atmospheres were a minimum of oxygen was present, utilising this bit, but only working for a limited amount of time.
- Pressure system: For a a good amount time the armor suit allows the wearer to be deployed in space, utilising saved oxygen reserves to breath, it is not unlimited though.
- Magnetic boots: The boots can become magnetic upon activation.
- Second Skin: The armor has the benefit of not only being worn, but becoming a second skin for the wearer due to its extensive connections.
- Enclosed: The armor allows a deployment in nearly all environments.
- Tank: The suit is designed to withstand the most serious and heaviest of attacks.
- Sixth & Seventh Sense: The armor expands the perception of the wearer to a superhuman level through scanners and sensors, giving impressions and information ordinary senses would not give as well as improving the common senses like vision and hearing through the helmet functions.
- Tactical: The suit is made to be deployed in battle and its connection to its own scanners and sensors is used as well as the connection to the battlefield surveillance of the strong ship based scanners, if a ship of the Order is in orbit which can allow for a maximum overview and information access.
- Maintenance: The systems of the armor are very complex and therefore the maintenance of the armor is very time consuming if a system should fail.
- Chain reaction: There is the very slight possibility that during a malfunction of the internal power supply, the suit of armor is getting permanently destroyed and killing the wearer due to neural connections overloading and melting.
- Force: The armor does not protect the wearer from any attacks by the Force which affect the wearer directly/internally/mentally.
- Weight: Unaltered individuals may only be able wear this armor if they are of an extremely strong physics.
- Visibility: The armor is made of auromidium and therefore gold, it is very very difficult to hide in it.
- Size: The armor is designed for very large individuals and therefore can only be worn by and altered for people in a specific spectrum of weight and height.
The program for an armored powersuit came into being along with the idea to model veteran Ultranauts into even deadlier and durable soldiers, promoting the already disciplined soldiers to ever higher standards of training, discipline, physical and equipment.
The program to create superior soldiers was coordinated along with the former Zakuulan Exarch Aurelian Sigismund , a member of the original Eternal Empire and the entire research was conducted throughout bases and larboratories in the eastern fringes of known space as well as on ships of the Eternal Navy.
A result were various products of warrior-subjects, some would be claimed and used by the Zakuulan, others would be for the service of the Eternal Empire. Its testing happening in form of the Rim-Guard Order.
The armors proved to be excellent protection and were further designed by the eningeering heads and smiths of the Karavin Concern, streamlining a production for an armored powersuit which would later be call Sk-SH Mark 7, the SH symbolizing the Super-Heavy aspect of the armor rating.
It was decided to majorly use Matrix armor components and Duraplast with minor alloys of Beskar to increase its overall resistance and defense against attacks by skilled lightsaber wielders. The armor allows a good amount of agility if proper training is received, to be very fast in it one has to have mastered its usage, living in it basically.
