  • Transparisteel

• Classification: Multipurpose environmental suit
• Weight: Average
• Resistances:
  • Energy: Average
  • Kinetic: High
  • Lightsabers: Low
  • Other:
    • Contaminants: Very High
    • EMP/ION: High
    • Heat: Average
    • Radiation: Low

• Air filtration system
• Dedicated closed-channel comms network
• Integrated HUD

• Breathe Easy: Advanced air filters scrub foreign contaminants and prevent exposure to dangerous pollutants.
• Regenerative: Laminanium has self-regenerative capabilities thanks to its innate ability to melt and reform at most temperatures, allowing for minor damage to be repaired in the field.

• Who's Geiger?: Overexposure to radiation will overload the suit's systems, causing failures that ultimately result in injury to the wearer.
• Radio Silent: While the suit's internal comms network is robust, it is not immune to EMP/ION blasts. Communications will be among the first systems to fail under such an attack.

When Rook Merriex returned after four grueling years in the Netherworld, she came back changed. Altered. Afflicted. Overexposure to dangerous toxins in the Nether's atmosphere was to blame for her condition, and when the Republic sanctioned the expeditionary team known as Project Elysium, she knew her first task would be to prevent the same fate from befalling any of her team members. Rook executed this goal by developing the Aether-pattern EVA suit.

Research and development took place on Rori, Naboo's jungle moon, though actual live-fire testing -and eventually the suit's maiden voyage- occurred on Veruna. The Aether-pattern EVA suit underwent extensive testing to ensure that expeditionary forces were equally protected as they were mobile, a vital combination that often made the difference between life and death in the Netherworld. With this suit, Republic explorers are well-equipped for the dangers of the Nether's landscape and lifeforms.

By alternating layers of molytex and quantum fiber, Theed Arms was able to produce a flexible, lightweight EVA suit capable of withstanding both kinetic and energy-based impacts. Laminanium plating on the boots, kneepads, elbows, and helmet allow for self-repair of non-critical damage. The helmet's transparisteel visor is segmented into a triangular configuration to dampen direct blows that may occur while exploring. On the interior of the helmet, a digital HUD provides the wearer with tactical information regarding the team, their immediate surroundings, and analytical data gathered in the field. A dedicated communications link enables team members to communicate natively without relying on a pre-existing comms network.

Snazzy. Hope to see you at the netherworld ball in that.
