Agent Rinnan's field suit was specially ordered through the First Order Security Bureau according to his specifications. It is designed to offer protection against energy weapons, while allowing for dexterity and freedom of movement. Rinnan's field shirt, pants, and jacket are woven with armorweave fabric, which keeps them lightweight while still giving him fair protection against blaster bolts, lightsabers, and other energy-based weapons. The armorweave will protect against indirect blaster hits and glancing lightsaber blows, but will offer less protection against direct hits. The armor doesn't protect against other forms of attacks, such as sonic or kinetic energy; for example, shrapnel or slugthrowers.
Additionally, a thermoguard bodyglove is worn underneath the shirt and pants, which contains a thermal cooling unit that adjusts to the temperature of the external environment, allowing Rinnan to become virtually invisible to infrared and thermal sensors. The bodyglove is also insulated and is woven with a flame-resistant fabric, giving Rinnan modest protection from burns and extreme heat or cold. The bodyglove does not protect his face, however.
Strengths:
- Allows for ease of movement
- Protection from energy-based weapons
- Protection from harsh environments and extreme heat
- Invisible to thermal sensors
- No protection against other forms of attack (kinetic, sonic)
- Not resilient to direct hits/blows
- Can be destroyed by repeated hits/blows
