- Average resistance to Lightsabers (armorweave offers some resistance but it's limited at best so a full on strike would run through and repeated attacks would cut with ease)

- No EMP/ION Resistance (nothing within the armor, cape or mask protects the wearer from EMP/ION attacks)
There was once the Order of Ulf, a religious order that honored a singular Lupine god who is believed to have been called Ulf (though there aren’t many claims to back this up other than in the documents of the Order). Before the arrival of Humans, they were a religious order, with very few members known outside of it. Each House was aware of the order who would come to convey the messages of their singular god. All this is known better from the few remaining historical documents left behind the order. As the religion of the Lupines faded away, the Order began to decay, abandoning their positions without anyone knowing they were part of it. In time, all that would be left of them were abandoned temples, documents, robes, and masks. Houses took them. It’s possible there were ones close to a hundred but with each of the old Houses taking them, eventually, less and less remained, decaying with time.
By the time humans had arrived at Figaro Favoura VII, the vast majority of the Houses had vanished due to madness and decay, losing the majority of those old religious markings. House Van-Derveld had taken possession of a handful, ensuring their survival.
The remaining Lupines had easily taken control of the Human populations, becoming their Feudal Lords. However, among those humans, they noted individuals that stood out for their strength, speed and a number of other characteristics and for this as well as their loyalty to their overlords, these individuals, all females, were awarded to hold the position of guards. The first Lord of the time had bestowed the coat and mask upon a woman who proved to be a very gifted warrior to stand alongside him and protect him, ordering the creation of the leather underarmor as well. When his children were born, he assigned one by one, three more and so a small number of guards were appointed at any given time, masked and trained. Though the meaning of the name didn’t matter, these individuals would continue to be called the Order of the Ulf, each of the guards loyal to their charge.
With Diego Van-Derveld leaving Figaro Favoura VII, the Order of Ulf had lost their purpose, the masks and armor returned back to their resting place, waiting for to be used again.
It would be Katrine and Damien who would go to the moon of her forefathers, investigating the massive Schwartzweld where she’d been plenty of times as a child. By chance, they would find the more secure areas of the building, as Katrine would recall a story her Father had told her when she had first arrived about the Order, their protectors, taking the unused items for so long and bringing them to her Uncle, Darth Metus, well aware of what his company did. It was there than the pieces were inspected, repaired wherever there was damage and fitted with more modern technology such as the scanner and the comlink for the mask. The young Lupine had every intention of giving the armor purpose again.
