- The energy crystal on the chest is vulnerable to damage and will disable the armor's emulation capabilities if removed or destroyed.
Bloodtroopers were intended as an analogue to the Shadowtroopers once used by the schismatic Imperial faction known as the Empire Reborn. Comprised of both Force users and those without Force ability, the Bloodtrooper is the pinnacle of Vanessa Vantai's efforts to maximize the capability of an individual Dark Trooper, as the armor showcases.
The armor consists of cortosis alloy, making the suit resistant to lightsaber attacks. An armorweave bodyglove provides an extra layer of protection. On the chest of the armor is an energy crystal, responsible for powering both the HUD in the helmet and the magnetic boots preventing easy manipulation by the Force. A noted feature in every suit of Bloodtrooper armor is its ability to emulate some Force powers through the use of repulsors and tractor beams, allowing the emulation of Force Pull and Force Push, and fingertip capacitors allowing the emulation of Force Lightning. These are powered by the energy crystal as well. This provides the Bloodtrooper with a multitude of ways to engage his enemies. The only downside is the vulnerability of the energy crystal to attack - if it is damaged or removed, the powered functions of the armor can no longer operate.
