Strengths |
- [ Effective Blaster Protection ] | The nanolaminate plating process is a rather effective and inexpensive process of making whatever surface it is applied to blaster proof. By reducing the heat and impact from one concentrated point of contact across a larger area, the effective penetrating power of a blaster is mitigated as to little more than the hit from a powerful punch. Severe bruising and fractured bones may still apply, but fatal results are usually minimized.
- [ Self Repairing ] | Assuming that the nanolaminate plating doesn't take consistent hits that would result in its molecules fusing together or being extensively damage, the residual heat restructures the molecules to take their original form. This allows a soldier to take a hit, retreat, allow for their armor to repair itself before taking another hit. Thus repeating its cycle. This applies to whatever surface the nanolaminate is applied to.
- [ Melee ] | Due to the layers and structuring of the nanolaminate coating, it has been shown that excessive contact with melee weapons or physical objects can result in these layers being 'shaved' off, thus rendering it ineffective.
- [ Extreme Heat ] | While meant to absorb heat and disperse it across a wider surface area, the nanolaminate armor functions poorly when exposed to extreme amounts of heat, such as sustained blaster hits or contact with lightsabers or plasmatic blades due to the molecules being fused together and diminishing its protective properties.
- [ Elementals ] | In addition to extreme heat being an issue, extreme exposure to the different elements can have negative impacts on the nanolaminate coating. Exposure to extreme cold can cause it to become extremely brittle and fracture itself beyond repair. It is also susceptible to corrosion and easily corroded when exposed to corrosive weapons or environments. It is also highly conductive, resulting in electrocution if the surface or armor it is applied to isn't properly insulated.
DESCRIPTION
Nanolaminate plating is a defensive, matte colored coating material with a multi-layered molecular arrangement that is vacuum deposited on armor or smooth surfaces. At first glance the surface may seem hard, but in principle it's like a very thin cushion with several layers. It is effective against blasters by diffusing and deflecting the fired bolt, minimizing the damage done and thus reducing lethality of a bolt. The nanolaminate armor is also effective against physical projectiles, where its energy bearing molecules can absorb the impact from live ammunition and explosive charges, thereby protecting the wearer's body from damage. It is so effective to the point where ranged firearms can not score decisive hits against them and may only shave off small pieces of it unless at close range.
