- Good Quality: As a gift from the Alderaanian Noble Houses to Alicio, this armor was made with the best Alderaan had to offer, by the best Alderaan had to offer. When it comes to the usual threats of the galaxy, namely blasters and blunt trauma, this armor has no glaring weaknesses.
- Songsteel: This armor's incredible lightsaber protection comes from the songsteel plates modestly placed around the suit's neck and legs. Usually, that wouldn't be enough for reliable protection, but Alicio's specialized precognition makes the lightly-plated armor incredibly useful.
- Stealth: The dark design, and Stygian-triprismatic polymer coating of the cloak, means that both sensors and the naked eye will have difficulty spotting the wearer, especially in low-light conditions.
- Master of None: In the effort to make an all-purpose armor, despite the expensive nature of the clothes, nearly every aspect of it's protection is good, but none are great. In addition, while the protections of this outfit are exemplary for medium armor, this is no suit of beskar. Armorweave can only do so much.
- Pinpoint protections: All of the armor's lightsaber protection is focused on those songsteel plates. While a glancing blow elsewhere may be turned aside by the incredibly-designed armorweave, any substantial hit will easily cleave into the wielder.
- Ion/EMP: While the outfit doesn't use any extra tech, there are no built-in ways to protect the technology on the wielder.
The Great Houses of Alderaan were well aware of Alicio Organa's penchant for trouble. He often made the planetary news for his exploits, whether it be leaping into an active warzone to save civilians, getting captured during dangerous negotiations, or being stranded on a distant, dangerous planet for weeks. So, as a gift for their senator's recent appointment as the Chairman of SELCORE, and with the threat of war lurking on the horizon, delegates from each Great House presented him with a set of songsteel armor. Of course, Alicio attempted to turn it down, but the nobles were persistent, considering he was one of the few Organas left in the galaxy.
The armor was light, but clunky and awkward. After testing it for a few days, Alicio began removing armor pieces, until what was left is what's seen here. A lightweight, breathable armorweave coat, flowing stealthy cape, and auxiliary songsteel plates. Perhaps now, the Great Houses could rest easy, knowing Senator Organa was prepared for the worst. Alicio could rest easy too, comfortable in the knowledge that all of Alderaan had his back.
