Description: The S'kytri Strider-class armor was created by Phenex Ren to accommodate his unique anatomy. Phenex had acquired design plans for traditional armor used by S'kytrian warriors during his time as a guard for the Patriarch. Using those plans, he has designed and forged a single set of armor to reflect his allegiance to the Order of Ren. While the armor is based off of a S'kytri design, it is significantly more heavy than the traditional armor worn by Phenex's people. Due to this, mobility while in flight is degraded. In addition to mobility, the suit has been modified to allow his wings to protrude from the rear which creates two weak spots in the back of the torso. That also means that this suit of armor is effectively useless in the vacuum of space and also creates a weakness to flame based weapons if attacked from the rear.
The armor itself is created from an alloy of Trimantium and Titanium, the two metals formed together into a cohesive plate. Beneath the outer plate is a Duraplast layer which aids in increasing the armor's ballistic and blunt force resistance. Finally, formed in the duraplast are a series of compartments filled with thermal gel to aid in thermal resistance from either flame weapons or high heat yield blasters.
The armor is donned in sections, the plates layered and slide against each other. If sufficiently damaged either by repeated lightsaber blows or excessive blunt force, the armor can warp causing mobility issues. In addition, while the suit of armor is resistant to Lightsabers, blunt force, ballistics and blasters, repeated hits in the same area will cause the alloy to stress fracture or break and it is not impenetrable. Resistant yes, impenetrable, no. Additionally, the armor is designed to be thinner than most standard combat gear so it does not hold up as well as a suit of the same type might against Lightsaber strikes, Blasters, or blunt force. This is so that the wearer, Phenex Ren can still fly using his wings.
