Description:
The life of an infantry soldier is short without the necessary reinforcements afforded by heavy weapons. But to often tanks, starfighters, and other heavy weapon platforms cannot enter a limited engagement. And armor, the kind that can take a beating and still keep the soldier standing, breathing, and fighting.
Taking the kinds of engagements that his vode seem to see themselves in it became obvious that a new weapon was needed. One that could be dropped into a firefight. One that was mobile. One that packed the heavy hitting weapons that the average soldier could not carry into the field of battle. And heavy armor.
But in so many engagements it seemed that troop transports and drop pods were the way to set soldiers on the field of battle. So tanks, vehicles, starfighters and other types of armored vehicles were seemingly left out of the beginnings of many battles when they were needed for carving out a niche for reinforcements to land the appropriate tools and craft of war.
With these thoughts Kal Kandossii put Beskar'ad Inc into motion to build a suitable weapon for the times. Part battle suit, part powered suit, part heavy weapons platform, part armored unit, part mobile assault ... the Ori'verd came into being in the minds of the Beskar'ad.
Taking several different plans and schematics from other ventures Kal wielded them and merged them into a creation mirroring others but unique in itself. A battle suit able to perform many functions. Anti aircraft weaponry, anti infantry, anti armored vehicle, and mobile assault. Their plan was to build a battle suit that could turn the tide in battle thus saving the lives of soldiers.
(+) heavy armor plating allows it to take a beating and keep on ticking
(+) heavy weapons
(+) melee combat (beskar covered vibrosword)
(+) emergency escape in case of ... emergency catastrophic failure due to damage
(+) upgraded HUD and targeting systems
(+) easily deployable (troop transports, orbital insertion, drop pod)
(+) insulated kinetic protection
(+) heat/cold insulation
(-) external generator for Z-6
(-) external targeting cable for Equalizer running to helmet
(-) lightsaber resistant, but no beskar or other lightsaber 'stopping' alloys' in armor
(-) when hit repeatedly the servos can/will lock causing frozen systems until that portion of the armor can be rebooted (1-3 posts)
(-) systems are susceptible to jamming/emps (hardened but still will be affected for 1-3 posts)
(ooc: The basis for the template came from tweaking this design ...)
