- Faraday - The Agrinium Mesh is an alteration of the standard quality of a Sith Sword. As opposed to absorbing and releasing Lightning, it acts purely defensively by shielding encased materials from Pulses or Ion/Electric assaults.
- Neutral - As an alchemical creation, the strength of an Agrinium Mesh is drastically reduced by entering a Ysalamir or Voidstone field.
- Defense - The material itself is not durable. Blasters, Blades, or Lightsabers can make short work of it.
For decades, Agrinium has been utilized in the modern world as a defense against Electromagnetic assaults. From BlasTech to Czerka, notable companies of the Post-Darkness world saw fit to insulate their droids and technology with the material due to its natural Resistances to radiation. House Verd, Inc. takes this trend a step forward.
By modifying one of the most basic, alchemical affects, the corporation has elevated base Agrinium to a whole new level. Now, automatons or technologies can be insultated with a greater degree of certainty against Electricity, Ion, or EMP assaults. In particular, where the average droid would fry against the average EMP, and a Droid featuring basic insulation may be able to retain some motor function - a Droid insulated with the Agrinium Mesh will retain enough motor function to still fight on. Damage, of course, will be sustained and the degree will depend upon the Droid model itself and how much Mesh is incoporated.
It is to be noted that the Mesh grants impressive resilience - not immunity.
