STRENGTHS

• Allrounder: The LHA-II armor is much tougher and more useable than the original version of the armor, granting a wider array of protection and more efficient protection combined with a much higher degree of comfort and safety addons to protect the wearer to a much greater
• Surprisingly Light: Despite it being designated as a quote on quote Heavy armor, the LHA-II only follows this qualification in terms of its level of protection, not its outright weight, which due to a mix of heavy and light materials has become quite a balanced armor in terms of weight.
• Excellent freedom of movement: With the division of heavy plates on large sections of the armor, with flexible underlay and lightweight additional plating, the design has been optimised to ensure freedom of movement for those wearing this particular armor.
• Exposure to Dangerous environments: This version of the LHA armor has the bonus of a build in life support system and rebreather device, allowing for surviving in a multitude of different environments, allowing for the neutralization of toxic air, breathe underwater and even the vacuum of space for a limited amount of time, even uneven surfaces and gravitationless areas can be overcome with this armor.

WEAKNESSES

• Highly Electronical: Due to the high number of electronic and cybernetic aids, despite having both a shield against electronic damage and the use of the highly EMP resistant, there is still the issue that highly resistant does not mean impervious, with especially strong enough or amplified force lightning or similar electrically charged attacks having the capacity to overload and shortcircuit this armor.
• Heavy Radiation: Radiation, though somewhat mitigated by the armor, is still capable of penetrating the armor if the quantity and intensity of the radiation is high enough. While mild radiation may still be stopped by this armor, anything of high and lethal grade won't be fully stopped by this armor and can in fact affect the wearer. Caution in highly irradiated areas is adviced and protective meassures should be made.
• Not exactly Stealthy: These armors are meant to impress, as part of shock and awe, so stealth is completely off of the table and thus hiding in plain sight with these armors is not considered an option.

DESCRIPTION

The LHA design is one of the older designs of the N&Z corporation, but as time passed by, it also started to show its flaws and its age, despite having been one of the more cost effective armors for a multitude of organizations and internal divisions of the N&Z, with the collapse of the Zweihander Union and its subsequent integration into the Eternal Empire, it lowered the need for new armors of this type. However, with the rising tension once again rearing its head in the present day, the N&Z umbrella corporation saw the need for expanding into the armor market for the sake of obtaining possible contracts with a whole lot of newly risen factions all across the board, not to mention the desire to increase the meassures and strength with and in which their own security division could operate.

With this in mind, the company board of directors requested the N&Z EnSol division to design a similar armor to the old LHA in outward appearance, but with a much higher electrical and cybernetic load out. The N&Z EnSol division took on this job in the knowledge that they in fact already had an impressive design with the two LHEA varieties they had already created, by utilizing their limited production LHEA-II/EotL as the template, the engineering division exchanged most of the more costly components such as the materials for cheaper, lower cost, but higher production materials such as Ersteel 145 rather than Ersteel 1333 and Tetra-polycarbonite rather than the quinta or the reinforced quinta variations, allowing for the armor to retain much of its impressive stats, but with a much lower cost and a much higher capacity for production.

Ofcourse as it has been based on an LHEA-II variant, the LHA-II takes over its strengths and apparent weaknesses as well.

Nicely made sub! I already reposted the Enviroweave, maybe you want to use the new sub instead of the old one.
