DESCRIPTION

As the Spaarti Creations new cloning program started to develop, Taeli knew that any of the units they created were going to need new armor and equipment. The previous Spaarti Creations had created their own versions of things, but Taeli decided that outsourcing the work to her other companies was easier. Vulcan Foundries had been created as a subsidiary of Aurora Industries to create armor and vehicles, and the new Spaarti clones that were being grown would be the perfect introduction of the company's capabilities.

The armorsmiths at Vulcan Foundries began work on what they called Spaarti Mk. I armor, basing their designs off the older stormtrooper armor as well as the design currently in use by the Sith Legion. The armor comes with fairly basic amenities for soldiers in this modern age, and provides a high level of protection against infantry-scale blasters and kinetic weapons.
