Cost: N/A
Affiliation: Ilsa Visel; Eternal Empire - Ultranaught Colonels (x)
Model: VA-COL
- Modularity: No
Production: Limited
Material: Linen; High-Grade Duralumin; Armorweave, Phrik Steel, Plasteel
Classification: Multipurpose
Weight: Average
Resistances:
- Kinetic: Low
- Lightsabers: Low
- Other: Low (Ion/EMP); Average (Sonic); High (Elemental); High (Corrosive); High (Toxic Gas); Low (Electrical)
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Integrated Rebreather Unit: Designed to be used in hostile environments, the VA-COL system includes an integrated rebreather unit complete with an air filtration system and an internal oxygen supply for environments where this is required
- Integrated Low Visibility Optics: The VA-IDS system helmet features the KC-VISR system, a built-in visual enhancement system for low-light and poor visibility environments.
Strengths:
- High Density Energy Dissipation Weave: Designed to be used in close quarters combat primarily against insurgents and enemy soldiers, the VA-COL suit features high-grade armour plating and armorweave, designed to absorb and dissipate blaster bolts and can withstand blaster fire quite easily.
- Vacuum Rated: Intended for use in hostile environments, the VA-COL is completely sealable and can be used in vacuum, or in highly toxic environments. This has the side effect that it also protects the wearer against chemical weapons which make use of corrosive agents, or toxic gas.
- Enhanced Visibility: Featuring an integrated optics system, the KC-VISR system, the VA-COL system offers enhanced visibility in low-light conditions and environments with low visibility.
- Lightsabers: The VA-COL system offers small amounts of protection against lightsabers due to the phrik steel based on the boots, shins vambraces and shoulder guard.
- Dead Giveaway: The VA-COL system's optic system produces a distinctive, bright orange glow, which can be spotted from a large distance, giving away the wearer's position and making it useless for sneaking up on a target in open environments such as the wilderness, regardless of the time of day
- Limited Body Armour: The duralumin only covers the top half of the wearers body, leaving the arms and legs with only armourweave to protect them, excluding the Phrik armour plating as listed above.
DESCRIPTION
Designed as an armour system for the Eternal Empires top raking field officers the VA-COL offers good protection against a variety of attacks yet it suffers from most issues the equipment of the EE has to deal with such as the glowing optic system and its weakness to electricity. This system is based off of Darth Tacitus' SK-UL armour.
VA-COL armor suits often feature striking visual embellishments, specific to each separate unit, however this does not sacrifice the variant's performance. Designed to perform well in a variety of environments and against a wide range of opponents, the VA-COL armor system features the addition of Phrik armour plating on the shins, knees, elbows and shoulders which offer the wearer some albeit limited protection against lightsaber wielders.
The need to miniaturize several components in order to reduce weight, does come with some drawbacks, however. The armor is especially vulnerable to electric-based attacks, its highly conductive composition and various electronic systems being highly susceptible to a wide range of Force techniques as well as any weapons, traps or clever tricks which make use of electricity as a means to inflict damage.
Additionally, the armor's electronics can be relatively easily disabled by ion or EMP weapons, potentially causing severe impairments to the user, as crippling damage to the suit's complex optics and rebreather unit could leave the wearer without the use of these invaluable systems, this being especially dangerous in extremely hostile environments such as vacuum, or locations with toxic atmosphere.
