Intent: Two purposes. First, to reward [member="Vrag"] for her assistance with the One Sith reclamation of planets during the Netherworld event. The second purpose is to help Vrag and Reverance assimilate into the ranks of the Legion Yun'Do, Reverance's personal force of Vong from the Hrosha-Gul. This can be used by other PC's but requires direct permission and development through the Legion Yun'Do shapers on Selvaris, and thus, Reverance.

Description:
After partitioning a majority of Selvaris for Vong-forming purposes, Reverance began work on development a humanoid specific Vonduun Skerr Kyrric. Despite common misconceptions of vonduun crab armor, the armor is often a composite of multiple crabs that are shaped specifically to it's wielder. Thus, after getting proper measurements for both Reverance and Vrag, taking into the account the need for some technology within the armor, non-traditional vong shapers were put to task on preparing the armor to the prescribed details given by the Wrath of the Dark Lord.
Beginning from the inside out, the first component of the Vonduun Skerr Ygdris is actually not vong at all, but instead an armorweave body suit that is vacuum sealed. A dual layer of armorweave and composite specifically manufactured to hermetically seal the suit, built with intentions of insulating the user from force lightning (a widely known weakness of the vonduun crab) and the depressurization of space. This allows for a bit of a safety net, as well, as it helps to diminish the chance of puncturing the suit.
On top of the armorweave, multiple crabs were stretched and shaped to meet the proportions of the user. These crabs were grown in harvesting bogs in depressional and low elevation locations of Selvaris. Taken from a specific stock, in attempt to develop rapidly aged vonduun crab in replication of Czulkang Lah's crab armor, this suit gives the user a substantial boost of strength. This is fairly obvious of the suit, as the crabs have a more aged look and fairly visible muscle striations that work in tandem with the wearers basic muscle capacity. However, with a single low effort push, Vrag was capable of breaking a few of Rev's ribs, who was armorless at the time. While the value of the strength cannot be quantified, it is directly dependent on the user and will have significant combat impact.
By and large, the development of the suit is relatively simple for Vong standards. However, afterwards, scientists under the employ of the Wrath were put to work in order to marry technology to a relatively resistant Vong species. After a bit of plying, the suits were fitted with a HUD system often employed in similar suits. This HUD allows the user to view the environment along multiple bandwidths and spectrums, including IR, UV, Night Vision, Thermal, and through an Augmented Reality HUD, which essentially supplements stimuli with computer generated information to assist in tracking targets. The computing systems are coupled with a highly pressurized tank re-breather that works in tandem with the HUD, displaying the available stored atmosphere for the user (dependent on the user, typically a common air tank). Without puncture, the tank can hold roughly 2 hours of usable atmosphere, though it must be checked on a 90 day interval to meet Hazardous Safety Standards employed by the benevolent One Sith. Power to the HUD and rebreather system were provided via standard power cell units, which are also required to be replaced on a semi-annual basis.
Because of the well known weakness of the species to Baffor pollen, the armor has been treated with numerous Bafforka Bore Worms, to meet the needed resistance. This suit comes standard with a chitin carbine, shaped to match the desire to induce fear so common in the Legion Yun'do. For locations that are considered somewhat vital and not covered by vonduun crystal lattice armor, molded plates of Durasteel were used to offer extra protection against kinetic damage (cod piece, for example).
Strengths:
[+] Highly resistant to damage, as is common to the Vonduun crab armors.
[+] Augments users strength substantially (listed above for more specifics). Would also increase speed, as the muscles of the calves and thighs are augmented.
[+] Resistance to Bafforr pollen
[+] Spaceworthy with supplied atmosphere
[+] Force dead - Like all vong species, this species is relatively immune to the force.
Weaknesses:
[-] Susceptible to Spark Bee Honey (common vonduun allergy)
[-] Typical weak points of armor, though its supplemented with a body glove. Damage to gills, in the armpit, can kill the crab.
[-] While the wearer is insulated from electricity, the vonduun can be killed with force lightning
[-] Living - Unlike other armors, this is a living species. While it can slowly heal against damage, it will also die of old age, requiring another suit be created through the same task of tedious shaping.
