Gray Raxis
Blind and Broken
Alright so as title states, I have a question about a two-part sub I want to make that involves one going into the Codex and one going into the Factory. I wanted to get some advise and get an idea of what I will be dealing with before going full speed into things and running straight into a brick wall. And with all of that said, I will get into it.
I have gotten 3 subs approved so far here in the Codex for a planet and 2 species. I am wanting to do a third sub for a species, but part of the intent behind it is to have a creature with a very high quality leather. Which is where the Factory part of things comes in with a tech sub. The leather, and in part the creature it comes from, is meant to be on the level of effectiveness as restricted materials such as phrik and cortosis. I have noticed around the board that no good source of leather exists for the creation of armor and clothing. The only leather than ever seems to be used, when not just saying leather in general, is Terentatek leather. I want to provide the site with a second option for leather that focuses on raw protection from both physical and energy based attacks while lacking the force hiding qualities. The leather is meant to provide protection between that of standard metals and the more durable metals such as phrik and beskar, while retaining the natural advantage of flexibility that leather has over metal. There will be draw backs to it such as the leather is heavier and causes the level of heat within the leather to be higher than usual, so it would basically be a hot box effect.
I would also like to see that it gets treated the same way as the current restricted materials in that there needs to be a thread related to its acquiring because it is so effective at offering protection. The biggest issue here is that the other materials on that list are cannon and so exist within the Star Wars universe already. I was wondering if this kind of idea of a creature that can only be found on a single planet providing a leather, which would be the first leather item on the list, be able to be placed on the restricted items list even though it is not cannon.
I know what I am wanting to do here is very ambitious and likely already know the answer I will get, but I would appreciate any feedback I can get on this. Either way I plan on doing the submissions for the creature and the leather, but I would like to know if I would be better off toning things down from the beginning or if this idea might be plausible if I work with the staff on it. Thank you for reading my giant wall of text here, and thank you for any feedback I get.
