+ Energy + The armor plating alloy gives above average protection against energy based weapons.
+ Kinetic + In addition to protecting from Energy attacks, the armor plating blend also provides above average protection against kinetic weapons.
+ Ion/EMP + The materials aid in making this armor plating highly resistant to Ionic and Electromagnetic pulses.
+ Lightsabers + The armor plating alloy gives above average protection against lightsabers.
+ Airborne/Gas + The inclusion of a helmet designed around the Acumen system as well as a dedicated life support system helps mitigate this type of attack but requires an appropriately fitting helmet to capitalize on.
+ Light + Relying on the blending of materials to reduce the weight, armor plates add little weight given how they are distributed along the body.
+ From The Heavens + Inclusion of the Fallen Angel Shield makes the user capable of entering the atmosphere from orbit.

- Armor Plating - While the armor system does provide protection against different forms of attacks, it is plating and only covers the most important parts of the body while leaving other parts entirely exposed.
- Clipped On - Additionally, the armor plating is clipped in place, and requires tools to remove or add. If attempting to replace or remove damaged pieces, the tooling areas can be marred from damage and require the coat or clothing to be discarded entirely. A large issue if the user is heavily irradiated given the porous nature of the banterweave to those around them.
- Sonic - The armor system gives almost no protections whatsoever against Sonic based attacks in any way aside from the vibration absorbing insulation present in the helmet.
- Cardio-Regulated - While the belt aids in allowing the wearer to fight longer and more calmly, when the allotted time runs out, the effects of extended fighting come crashing down. A debriefing and medical examination is suggested for anyone after combat in this gear.
- Airborne/Gas - The inclusion of a life support system helps mitigate this type of attack but requires an appropriately fitting helmet to capitalize on. Failure to don the helmet either included or created completely mitigates this benefit.
- Once a Mission - The Fallen Angel Shield is only capable of using reentry mode once per mission and once it starts, it can't enter a different mode until it burns out the reentry fuses and regulators.

Similar in design to her other product of the Mandalorian Helljumper Armor and the Haywire Armor line, an armor system that adds onto another system in her products comes in the form of basic military protective plating that is modular to a small degree.

Taking the base system of the Protective Outerwear and throwing additional equipment on top of it to make an armor system that can be readily made and mass produced. The Reinforced Jacket extends down to just below the hips to allow for further protection of the belt system of the base items and also completely runs the length of the arms. All with additional clip points for the armor systems and additions to attach properly to add to the protective requirements of the system. Being reminded of the Mandalorians line of systems, the addition of the MAA General Purpose Gauntlets was seen as a handy step to completing the armor system. Maintaining the flexibility of the Protective outerwear while providing combat capable cover elsewhere along the body. Straps were added to keep the armor plating in place, and serve as additional gear clips in a pinch or even as a tourniquet.


This armor variant is geared more toward the lower rank rifleman or recruits who have passed the most basic of combat training with a lower Dral Kayatr content in the alloy blend of the armor plating. A cloak made of Enviroweave is the final addition, and at a glance seems to serve as little more than a potential nuisance. It does serve a purpose however. When removed from the shoulders, it can help make a blind, a cover in adverse weather conditions, or even an emergency tent in case of survival situations. With the requirements met to provide a generalized armor configuration, the schematics were uploaded to the PGEM system and ready for production.
