Armor Description
Description: creating a light and medium set of armor from phrik Miss Blonde figured it was time to work with other materials, so purchasing a enough ultrachrome she created two sets of armor meant to be her crowning achievement. The Reclaimer and The Rogue were some of her best works of crafting but now introducing The Leviathan. A powered ultrachrome armor that is capable of taking a heavy beating and keep going.
How it's built. Using reactive energized biofibers the powered component of this armor is a glove that fits around the wearer, this augments their strength much like a Crushgaunt. However these are made of durasteel causing it to be much less powerful, the strength augmenting the user is that between a trandoshan and a wookie. Basically around that of a Graug, who are known to be able to wrestle Wookies comfortably for a few minutes before losing. Essentially it will help you break bones, run faster, grip tighter, and fight harder. But that sums up the powered armor feature for the armor, as for the actual plates the armor is slug thrower resistant, blaster resistant, and lightsaber resistant. Ultrachrome is a metal known for being capable of taking kinetic and energy hits so it made sense to craft it out of the metal.
But as for forging the plates are very standard, they are molded, cooled, then crafted into the armor. The helmet has an Agrinium mesh to help protect from Ion attacks but other than that there's nothing else special.
Power/Protection. The thick plates of ultrachrome will stop most attacks when they strike directly on the plates. Sabers, slugs, most blades, it's a strong metal and will keep you safe. The mesh adds for protection and flexibility but the real gem is the powered feature that will keep the armor and yourself going. You won't be lifting any speeders but you'll be able to beat the average man in an arm wrestling contest. However it does need to be stated even though you can lift more with this armor this doesn't change the fact that if you are a non augmented organic humanoid your bones and flesh are not augmented meaning if you are lifting something extremely heavy your bones can snap under its weight despite the help of the powered feature.
Weaknesses. Essentially you are wearing a giant chunk of metal, so not only will be slightly slower you are more prone to electrical attacks from arc weapons and force lightning. Getting hit by these attacks can cause large damage due to an amplified electric current. This is a solid weakness along with the armor's weak points where it's only covered by a mesh. Areas like the neck, waist, inner thighs, and back of the knees are vulnerable from blades, bullets, and other forms of attacks. Ion weapons will also disable the powered feature making you slower.
Summary. All around it's a pretty epic piece of armor that is capable of taking hits and moving on and while it does have its weaknesses the strengths will make up for them.
