Strengths:
- Tactical Approach -
As combat armor, the "Disturbia" is capable of providing a very well established defense for any high security area required of Blackwell Industries, in addition the collection and securement of lost technologies, including prototypes and other fringe technologies, this being done through a number of advanced systems to allow for a variety of approaches, assaults, with a strong arsenal in defense and mobility. From jet boots, to droids for active protection, to even the holster located on the armor capable of aiming on its own.
[*]Stalwart -
- Between the strong Duraplast hard points and soft duralumin layers, the armor itself is very strong against most conventional forms of combat, even a mild defense against sonic weaponry. This is done through the 'Vishnu' shielding, effectively serving as a force multiplier for each unit, to protect and serve in every aspect. The specialized design of it allows this strong level of defense without sacrificing mobility, and no addition of exoskeletons or other devices.
Weaknesses:
- Laser Sword -
While the armor itself is very strong against most conventional forms of modern combat, it can not stand against the likes of lightsabers or other large blunt weaponry, such as a power hammer. The lightsabers, while they might grace off the thin duraplast layers one, will easily cut a soldier in half at the behest of a strike with force behind it, most notably due to a lack of mobility within the suit. It is not meant for dueling, and as such can not stand up despite the reactions of its user, leave alone the speed accounted for in the modern Jedi and Sith of the galaxy.
[*]Blunt Force Trauma -
- While lightsabers can cut through the armor, blunt weaponry can kill whatever is inside with minimal effort. Due to a lack of an overarching skeleton structure to provide support, and the thermal gel lining meant for falls and last ditch lockdowns, the suit as a whole offers very little protection from the likes of a power hammer or otherwise large scale strike; able to handle the damage of a small kinetic round, but not a Dravar's fist barreling down into its helmet.
DESCRIPTION
Designed for internal use by Blackwell Industries, the ‘Disturbia’ platform was built around the ideals of what would serve as a strong special forces armor. Should the unthinkable happen and one of various Blackwell Industries locations come under siege or infiltrated, the only viable response to such a coordinated assault would be that of versatile quick response teams on each planet; each trained with every viable scenario in these situations. From the inevitable strike of fellow companies, or the raid of a faction transgressed by some yet to be made deal, every situation was planned for within the armor.
Carrying a number of powerful aspects from companies such as Jaeger Solutions, the ‘Disturbia’ was built from the ground up off current Imperial Legion designs and previous Jaeger Class Combat Armor; each in their own right some of the most exceptional examples of armor on the current market. This serves just as well within the ‘Disturbia’ as it carries everything from personal protection droids, ISR drones, heavy shielding, to more applicable tools such as grappling lines, flamethrowers, and wrist mounted vibroblades.
The exact limits of the armor come in the form of a lack of response to force users carrying their well appreciated lightsabers, or blunt weapons. Lacking a general superstructure, the armor isn’t able to resist either of these, as it is such a rare instance that putting the effort into adding such defenses would prove too costly compared to the returns, finding a foundation instead in highly advanced materials that would help resist what is already commonplace by raiding teams.
Overall, the armor is a very strong defensive measure, utilized not only by Blackwell’s security teams, but the dark division known simply as ‘Recovery and Repossession’, for all the needs the company has outside of the known and accepted.
