  • Ride the Wave: With the elevated lethality of sonic and concussive weapons in underwater environments, the Nyssrak-type has uprated protection against these threats, allowing for excellent resistance to kinetic and sonic attacks.
  • White Water Rapid: With its subaquatic propulsion system and leg-mounted thrusters, the Nyssrak-type is incredibly fast and agile underwater, allowing the wearer to quite easily swim and / or jet circles around their targets. In addition, due to the pressure normalizer, the concerns of nitrogen narcosis are effectively nullified, meaning that swimmers can change their depth at will.
  • Orca: The Nyssrak-type has a greatly-diminished observation profile owing to its camouflage and polymer coatings, while the D-baffling system renders it nearly dead silent. Both of these systems lower the overall signature of the suit, but they do not offer true stealth capability or invisibility. Instead, they serve to make the suit and its wearer more difficult to distinguish from the surrounding environment and harder to pick out.
  • Shark: Achieved via energized and reactive polymer materials incorporated into the body glove, the suit gives the wearer a fourfold strength enhancement, notably giving a significant boost to the wearer’s swimming capabilities. In addition, the Ghost Link allows the wearer to control virtually all of the armor's functions and attached subsystems via mental command. Further mental enhancement comes from the suit itself, which heightens and accelerates the user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power of the onboard computers. Thus, the suit enhances the user both physically and mentally.

  • Tensor: Although the suit is optimized to mitigate damage from most forms of energy-based assaults, tensor weapons are indeed the exception. In firing compressed tractor beam waves, they can bypass most of the defenses and affect the wearer’s body at a cellular level, with the potential to cause severe injury or outright death.
  • Surface Damage: While the suit’s equipped Dream Sight possesses an extremely advanced surface-integrated passive reception array, any direct damage to the surface of the armor may diminish the effectiveness of the system due to the destruction of a number of passive micro-sensors. This can result in blind spots in the passive reception array.
  • Shield Projector Fragility: The Nyssrak-type is a high-tech platform that depends in large part on its electronics for its defensive prowess and lethality. Thus, should its electronics be overloaded, disabled, or impaired, the suit’s ability to protect its wearer will suffer in turn. In such a case, the miniaturized intrinsic shield projector array might suffer malfunction. Since this system is a linchpin to the armor’s resistance against disruptors (the armor plating by itself is unable to adequately defend against this weapon type as solid materials can not be proofed against disruptors), these weapon will likely pose an especially mortal threat to the wearer in the event of system failure.

With increased Sith activity on water worlds and in aquatic environments, the need for an aquatic assault combat diving suit became more pressing. Out of this need, the Nyssrak-type Aquatic Assault Sith Trooper Diving Suit was born. Christened after a long-extinct aquatic predator from Korriban, the Nyssrak-type came into being with the aim of reestablishing Sith dominance in aquatic environments. First United Astral Engineering was utilized as the designer, with the company’s experience in developing the Taral-type Mk. II seen as testament to its efficacy.

The ease of swimming was among the chief design considerations for the Nyssrak-type. Thus, the suit includes a number of features intended to make the task easier. For one, the density modulation system responds to wearer feedback to adjust the suit’s density at will. To ease descents, the system will increase the density, while doing the opposite for ascents. In turn, the system will stabilize the density at a certain level in the event that the user seeks to stay at a stable depth, whatever that depth is. Reactive polymers enhance user strength, considerably lowering the stamina demands of swimming. In addition, these same reactive polymers (artificial muscles) can constrict around the extremities to prevent the movement of gas bubbles within the blood.

While the Nyssrak-type was initially developed to be exclusive to the Kainate, given the dearth of combat diving platforms in the wider Sith Order, it was decided that the suit would be delivered to Sith Order forces and units who requisitioned them in exchange for a certain tithe paid to Malsheem.

All in all, the Nyssrak-type is anticipated to significantly advance the Sith Order’s ability to wage aquatic warfare. It is hoped that Sith commanders will no longer have to rely on outside suppliers or ancient technology in order to adequately equip their forces for aquatic environments.
