Special Features:
Sensors
- Visor: Constructed from transpirsteel, the visor functions to both protect the user and enhance their perception with a panoramic display built into the inner layers. The visor features an automatic polarization function to protect the user against glare and sudden flashes.
- Augmented Vision/Sound Processors (AVSP): A processing unit that takes information from onboard sensors and external sources to create an augmented reality display to improve a user's situational awareness, displayed over the visor's inbuilt panoramic monitor. At the same time, sound is fed into internal helmet speakers, processed to accurately recreate the position of noises as if being heard by the naked ear. Filters will automatically activate to protect the user against harmful noises.
- Multi-Frequency Targeting and Acquisition (MFTAS): Onboard sensors mounted on either side of the visor, capable of collecting electromagnetic and acoustic readings.
- Helmet Mount: Located above the visor, it is a mount for optional external sensor suites. The default loadout is a set of macrbinoculars featuring electro-optics, infrared-night vision (IRNV), a sonar mapper, and a laser range-finder/designator. Information from the external sensor suite is muxed with onboard sensors via AVSP.
- Built-in comlink: A multi-frequency communication system that can work across the communication spectrum, over radio, laser-line, and subspace, The transmission range is short, but the receiver is sensitive enough to pick up communications at long ranges from sufficiently powered sources, like an orbiting satellite. The comlink comes with a vocalizer for external audio output.
- Heads Up Display (HUD): Along with an augmented view of the world, AVSP also displays figures and text, superimposed over the AR image feed. A user can cycle through the HUD display through the use of their eyes or voice commands.
- Sonic Imprint Sensor: The inbuilt device allows sounds to be recorded for audio splicing and playback. With analysis from AVSP, sounds or voices can be accurately recreated for original productions, accurate enough to bypass voice-locks.
Stealth
- Odominous Unit: A single device that combines a stygium-based stealth field generator with that of a sensor jammer to render the user nearly undetectable from a variety of electromagnetic and acoustic sensors. KSA made a small modification to their stockpile of Odominous Units sourced from Sasori, adding a toggle function that allows the cloaking generator to operate independently from the sensor jammer.
- Active Camouflage System (ACS): A layer of electronic ink displays underneath clear top layers of armor that can alter their colors and patterns to allow the user to better blend into their surroundings by the use of voltage changes on the e-ink. AVSP can be used to automatically control the changes, or the user can manually toggle different camo schemes.
- Vantablack Fabric (Bodysuit): A synthetic light absorbing material that appears to be darker than black. Because of said properties, the material gives off little reflection, making the wearer appear without clear silhouette even in lighted conditions.
- Osmotic Field Generator: Mounted in bottom the helmet, the module can create a protective field to filter out containments from the air. It doubles as an internal atmospheric control system.
- Air Canister: A small internal pressurized canister that can provide up to 20 minutes of fresh air. Additional canisters carried on the person can be slotted into the ports for the osmotic field generator. Tubes for large air tanks can also be inserted in a similar fashion.
- Utility Belt & Tactical Vest: Worn over the armor, these items offers the user the option to carry additional ammunition and equipment in. A standard loadout includes grenades, grappling hooks, ion flares, energy rations, spare comlink, medpacs, energy sinks, combat deionizer, and wrist binders.
- High Mobility Boots: While especially hardened for tough environmental conditions, the soles of the boots also contain tiny repulsor units for some added mobility, as well as electromagnets for gripping ferrous surfaces. Only one feature can be used at a time.
- Tactical Computer: A wrist-mounted touch screen computer ruggedized for combat conditions and manipulation by gloved fingers. While a full computer, it can also be used to make adjustments to the various armor systems.
- Internal Power supply: The chest piece contains a graphene layer that serves as an ultra-capacitor for powering the whole armor system. Because operators would usually be behind enemy lines using this armor, it was designed to be quickly recharged out in the field with common outlets. Removable power cells are also be used as backup.
+Multiple technologies make this an excellent stealth armor while also offering a decent level of protection for the user.
Weaknesses:
-Damage to the armor can cause the ACS layer to malfunction.
-No countermeasures against Force Users or detection by the Force.
-The use of the sensor jammer of the Odominious Unit interferes with the operation of non-visual sensors and communication.
Description:
Upon taking command of the 228th, General Thorja Arlos began the process of acquiring specialist equipment to properly outfit the clandestine unit for their mission. One such piece requested were a set of stealth armors. In response, GR military R&D came up with a prototype they dubbed the Wraith Armor. It utilized an integrated stygium stealth field generator built right into the armor. The prototype faced serious performance issues related to this setup, the most troubling of which involved the stealth field cutting out at random. Unable to find a solution on their own, the department contacted KSA to work on improving the original concept.
The Special Projects Division of KSA rebuilt the armor from the ground up, creating a superior stealth solution while also improving the ergonomics, and defensive capabilities of the armor. It began with the bodyglove, replacing it with a more protective sealed armor weave set comprised of sheets of carbon nanotubes suspended in a liquid polymer (sheer thickening fluid). The innermost layers consisted of a hypoallergenic synthetic micro fiber layer for comfort, and a gel insulator layer for heat regulation and shock absorption. All of this was topped off with an outermost fabric of Vantablack to create a passive stealth system for low light conditions.
During the initial stages where KSA only sought to improve the reliability of the stealth armor, they developed a low-powered alternative to compliment the more energy intensive cloaking field. An active camouflage system (ACS) that utilized flexible displays of electronic-ink to alter the camouflage pattern of the armor in real time. It would be sandwiched between ceramic layers underneath, and clear polymer layers above. While the original stealth scheme devised by Republic R&D was scrapped, the ACS was retained. As for the original integrated solution of the stygian polymer plates, that was all replaced by a convenient stealth/jammer module that could be easily replaced or used independently of the armor. Ideal for certain infiltration missions where only the sleek bodyglove could be used under a disguise.
