Approved Armor Aknoby's Shield

[Laphisto]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intent: to create a personal shield for Aknoby
Image Source: Chat gpt
Canon Link: N/A — setting-specific submission.
Permissions: User-supplied image and design. No third-party marketplace dependencies.
Primary Source: User-provided setting materials and lore (Kov'dra and Phrik materials; LO-Va'karis system specs and Lilaste Order equipment standards).

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Lilaste Arms
Affiliation: Aknoby
Market Status: Closed-Market
Model: AKN-1 — Aknoby's Shield Mk I.
Modularity: No (integrated design). Internal modules (sonic emitter power cell, shield generator pods) are field-replaceable; core Kov'dra/Phrik shell is not intended for component swapping.
Production Scale: Unique
Material: Kov'dra structural backing (core) laminated with Phrik outer lamella and edge reinforcement. Internal shock-frame uses Tensile-Durasteel mesh and micro-inertial dampers.

DESCRIPTION
Describe some of the histories behind the submission. Give us some idea of how it might perform its function, what it excels against and what some limitations of it are. This is where you talk about your idea, flesh it out over at least a good-sized paragraph, and address some of the ways it might be used or abused. For especially powerful or ambitious submissions, a very thorough description is recommended.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Spike-mounted Sonic Emitter ("Threnody Spike"): a precision short-range concussive sonic projector embedded in the shield's pointed tip. Designed to augment a shield-bash with a directional subsonic burst (concussive, non-lethal at standard settings) to stagger, disorient, or break light armor and fragile fortifications. Emitter has two modes: Stun (short burst, limited area) and Breaching (longer pulse, for doors/panels; requires authorization).
• Active Sonic Dampening Mesh: an internal lattice tuned to the emitter frequency to prevent feedback and shield-borne concussion affecting the bearer; provides Very High resistance to incoming directed sonic attacks for the wielder.
• Phrik Edge Reinforcement: thin Phrik strip along the perimeter for improved blaster diffusion and partial lightsaber resistance—helps deflect glancing blade strikes from reaching the Kov'dra backing.
• Kov'dra Force-Attenuation Backing: the Kov'dra structural layer provides reduction in Force resistance preventing it from being manipulated and pulled by the force
• Field-replaceable Power Cell Pod: small power module in the shield spine that supplies both the emitter and the dampening systems; swappable in under a minute by trained crew. Cells are standard issue across Lilaste Armsworks heavy gear.
• Shock-Frame Internal Struts: tensile-durasteel mesh struts and micro-inertial dampers distribute kinetic loads to reduce strain on the bearer's arm and armor.

STRENGTHS

• Dual LO-Va'karis Shield Generators: Two compact, spine-mounted LO-Va'karis modules sit in isolated housings within the shield chassis. They project overlapping, phase-tuned energy barriers across the shield face. Redundancy ensures partial function if one unit is damaged. The system supports:
• Phase-Bleed Dissipation: Excess impact energy is bled into the shield structure and dissipated as heat into the Kov'dra backing to avoid generator overload.
• Spike-mounted Sonic Emitter — "Threnody Spike": Precision sonic projector embedded in the pointed tip. Two authorized emitter modes: Stun and leathal
• Active Sonic Dampening Mesh: Internal lattice tuned to emitter frequency to prevent harmful feedback to bearer and providing Very High resistance against incoming sonic attacks.
• Phrik Edge Reinforcement: Thin Phrik strip along the perimeter and spike for increased blaster diffusion and partial lightsaber resistance.
• Kov'dra Force-Attenuation Backing: Kov'dra layer provides Resistance to force based attacks
• Field-replaceable Power Cell Pod: Standardized power module along the shield spine supplies LO-VX units and the sonic emitter. Swappable in under 6 seconds by trained personell.
• Shock-Frame Internal Struts & Dampers: Tensile-durasteel mesh and micro-inertial dampers spread kinetic shock through the frame to reduce strain on the bearer's arm and armor.

WEAKNESSES

• Weight & Handling: Average weight for trained infantry, but cumbersome for untrained users; extended use can cause strain.
• Power Dependency: Continuous generator use drains energy quickly; overdraw can result in sudden shield collapse.
• EMP/Ion Vulnerability: While reinforced, concentrated EMP/Ion strikes can temporarily disable all systems.
• Limited Range Offense: Sonic spike is devastating in melee, but useless at distance.
• Corrosive/Radiation Weakness: Low resistance to acids and radiation; prolonged exposure degrades the frame and internals.
• Complex Operation: Requires specialist training to utilize its systems effectively; not plug-and-play for average soldiers.

Nice one, I accept it, but please try to not abuse it.

Approved.
