Strengths:
- Cortosis Gauntlets: While not necessarily easy to use in practice, the Cortosis gauntlets that come as part of the armor can block and deactivate lightsabers on contact
- Neural Band: Protects operatives from the suggestions and mentalism of potential Force Using enemies
- Light Stealth: The light-warping, sensor stopping polymer Reflec was applied over the light plastoid armor which allowed operatives to operate without the fear of being picked up on a variety of sensors and scanners.
- No Helmet: By default Operative Combat Armor doesn't have a helmet. Without protection for the head the wearer was vulnerable to not only headshots but also a variety of gasses, toxins, sudden flashes, darkness etc.
- Projectiles: While most armor in the Galaxy was relatively resilient against slugthrowers and personal railguns, Operative Combat Armor was made with a lighter plastoid composite than normal which made it possible to penetrate with high powered slugrifles and personal railguns.
The Operative Combat Armor was developed for CNI operatives deployed in the field or on deep cover missions in the case of a lively emergency extraction. Constructed from a lighter plastoid composite than the one used in CorSec's CBU-01, it still retained its ability to absorb and disperse energy projectiles with ease, keeping the wearer alive in most circumstances if not incapacitated. Where it lacked however was its protection against slugthrowers which wasn't seen as much of an issue considering the vast proliferation of blaster-type weapons throughout the Galaxy. The armor also protected the wearer from shrapnel and its reflec coating bounced sensors and scanners which gave operatives a modicum of stealth when infiltrating enemy instilations. A lack of helmet that came standard with the suit was seen as a design oversight, however the restricted view, field operatives argued, was a much better asset to them than the information given in HUDs due to the clandestine nature of their missions. Instead, most opted to have the data displayed on the U20 Field Link integrated into their armor and most field operatives argued that the advanced headsets they wore that amplified audio, offered secured long range comm channels, and protected their minds from meddling was much preferred in actual missions. Gas masks, they argued, were sufficient should the need arise.
Essentially a stripped down and lighter version of the CBU-01, the OCA-01 offered flexibility and enough protection for operatives that were good at their job and didn't get caught in a firefight while offering enough protection for those that were stupid enough to find themselves in need of rapid extraction.
