STRENGTHS

• Allrounder: The LHEA-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 LHEAII 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 LHEA 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 LHEA MkII/N armor was taken as the basis for a slightly altered variety which was requested by the N&Z's own boardmember Karl Von Strauss . The need for a sturdy armor was there for one of their own projects and as such it was not that much of a big deal to take the readily available and quite recent redesign of the old LHEA armor and to modify it for use in modern combat.

Where the N version was meant to be used for elite guards of house Nargath and a more defensive meassure, this new version had to have a bit more flexibility and maneuvrability. This was achieved by redesigning both the helmet, main chest and backpiece and ofcourse the lower section which included the boots and codpiece. The mechanics, technical and electrical loadout would remain largely the same apart from the addition of the HPI CCX-2 module to further enhance communication not just between the ones wearing the armor, but also the armors themselves and the controlecenter to which the people in the armors would take their orders from. To look back at how the better mobility compared to the N version was achieved, was by remodelling the armor in such a way that it consisted out of fewer and thus less overlapping pieces, which did mean more exposure of the enviroweave underlay, but with the reinforced quinta-polycarbonite lamellar compound now taking the lead role and the ersteel 1333 functioning to structurally reinforce rather than being the core of the armor, the weight overall was reduced, without compromising too much, if any of the actual solidity and structural strength of the armor, though it is now much easier to remove and store than the much heavier N version.

The endresult was thus, the LHEA/EotL variety, which ofcourse has been designed specifically for Empire of the Lost personel and is thus exclusively built and sold to them.
