- As anything based off a mandalorian design, these vambraces hold a number of products and creations that are otherwise brutal on the battlefield. Likely derived from years and years of experience in war, each "Force" Class Vambrace is littered with obvious signs of their Mando'a influence; from the minitarized flamethrower to the blaster barrel mounted concurrent to it, even the exceptionally sharp and deadly knuckle plate vibro blade once found in the Katarn Class Commando Armor. Although not intended as a primary weapon, and more a backup of sorts, the weapons aboard this vambrace are fully able to be used in nearly any situation for every mainline battle trooper across the galaxy.
- Everything But The Kitchen Sink -
- Utility wise, the "Force" Class Vambrace are able to achieve tactical dominance in the right hands. Computers able to not only monitor a soldiers objectives, but slice into local computer systems and do whatever is needed in the cyber realm to produce results. In addition, the computer is hooked up to a miniaturized ISR drone produced by Aegis Solutions for the purpose of stealthily reconnaissance around the local area; knowing the next room allowing for unbridled breach and clears. That and the grappling line hooked up to it allow for a number of tactical responses, and the ability to restrain targets in a moments notice. Lastly, the concealed dart thrower may be the in between module between offensive and utility based items on the vambraces, but they are still viable weaponry able to protect its user in whatever situation needed; depending on the dart loaded into it at the time.
- Burden -
- Despite the Vibroblade attached to the knuckle plate of the Vambrace, the wrist mounts weigh a substantial amount. Enough so that utilizing them with traditional melee weapons would almost simulate training with actual weights on; a practice done not in the heat of real combat. Clocking in at about 4kg, each pull down the wrist in a considerable way; something jedi are notably against due to their chosen light protective clothing. Even Sith, more renown for their burdensome armor, are not likely to enjoy the fact that their hands suddenly weigh nearly four times what they usually might.
- Electrical Storm -
- A glaring flaw of the device is its requirement that the main computer function for half of the pieces to work. From the ISR Drone, to the Grappling Line and Concealed Dart Launcher, nearly all of them are dependent on the computer to form complex calculations in a moments notice to properly extract themselves, fire their projectile, and retract. Hopelessly complicated, should any issue arise in the field because of this, there would be little hope in actually getting them to work without a full operational repair from a certified quartermaster.
“In business news;
Jaeger once more releases a number of improvements upon their armor line today through their newest product announcement. So named the “Force” Vambrace, they bring to the market a perfect adaptation of Mandalorian armor in a modern form; in turn raising their stock prices substantially. The Vambrace has been said to be a new stage in wrist mounted warfare, and takes a number of cues from weapons from ages past; something private and public contractors everywhere are urged to keep in mind as Jaeger continues to trek forward.
This announcement comes directly after the resurgence of the Mandalorian Empire under Ra Vizla, likely a heavily contributing factor to the vambraces early success on the market. With all eyes turned to Jaeger, its as good a time as any to truly see what they’re capable of.”
~ Galactic News, Circa 852 ABY
A Jaeger spokesperson smiles to the crowd as the video shuts off, letting his crooked grin appease them in those few moments of silence the lights would begin to focus on him. He stood at a pedestal surrounded by glass and well placed pieces of art; all draped in a crimson and gold backdrop that signalled Jaeger’s decadence in their further expansion.
His words dripped of gold and silver, his eyes filled with greed as he spoke;
“That, ladies and gentlemen, was only the first of many news broadcasts telling the success of our product. Produced with an uncanny ability to perform in combat, durable as Beskar itself; we’ve created just another step in the stairs of the future; a dark future that Jaeger graciously pulls us into.”, he said earnestly.
“Today, you follow Jaeger not into its weapons, nor its starships; but its ability to protect what is most important to any army. Its people. To give them this allows each soldier to better hold themselves together on the battlefield, and on base; from the slicer computer able to monitor their surroundings and help scout ahead to the vibroblade tucked under the wrist. There is nothing stopping your traditional soldier for decimating any close quarters combatants, dispatching them with ease with their own life intact.”
“Truly, at the end of the day, that is what Jaeger is all about. Protecting your guys, and killings the other guys. I thank you for letting me come and speak today; and wish you all luck on the battlefield.”, he ended.
A small logo of Jaeger appeared on the screen behind him as the crowd began to cheer. It was time for Jaeger to roll with its momentum, and these products would be no different.
