- Blaster Resistance: Additional Phrik and armorweave provides additional defense against most forms of plasma, energy, and heat-based weaponry compared to standard AR BLACK-1 armor.
- Lightsaber Resistance: The additional Phrik provides heightened defense against lightsabers compared to standard AR BLACK-1 armor being able to withstand contact for a longer duration.
- Kinetic Resistance: The phrik and thermal gel also significantly bolster a wearer's ability to withstand common forms of physical or concussive abuse.
- Toxin/Poison Resistance: While light weight, many materials used in the armor's construction are more than dense enough to defend against exposure to many forms of gaseous or liquid toxins or poisons. The filtration system, sealable helmet, and emergency oxygen reserve also help prevent inhalation of gaseous forms of these hazards; especially helpful when a mark attempts to gas you.
- Stealth & Maneuverability: This suit was made to allow operators freedom of movement, and to make as little noise or give off as little electromagnetic indication of its wearer's presence as possible. Khali's variant of the AR BLACK-1 also comes with a Stealth Field Generator.
- Minimal Electronic Augmentation: The suit lacks EMP/ION protection because there is practically no built-in electronic augmentation to protect. This puts means only trained and skilled operators should wear this, or operate in cohesive groups able to make up for any one person's weaknesses.
- Live Off The Land: Likewise, an operator should bring whatever gear they expect to need, or be prepared to use the enemy's own weaponry and equipment against them. While there is an endless array of add-ons and supplemental gear that can be worn with this suit, the suit itself carries minimal frills.
- Thin Skin: Due to the increased amount of phrik and armorweave present there was less opportunity to ensure a tight defense against exposure to acid.
The Special Forces or Black Ops Antarian Rangers needed a suit to infiltrate an enemy encampment without being detected. Once inside they would be free to move wherever and however was necessary to eliminate a target, acquire a package, or disrupt enemy plans before they could be put in motion. To this end a light-weight stealth suit bolstered by phrik and armorweave was designed. The shadowsilk and shadowskin combined with the padded, flexible soles of the boots can help slip through most enemy defense positions.
With the focus on stealth and maneuverability, the suit lacks many advanced features of other sets. Supplemental gear can provide most of those features, but the expectation is anyone donning the AR BLACK-1 is sufficiently trained and physically able that they can make do without. Decked out in electronic gear, some people become too reliant on technology going the heavy lifting; and with a well-placed ion charge all of that goes out the window leaving an operative exposed. Here what electronics do exist an operative can do without in most cases, and an ion grenade will only give the enemy a false sense of security that can be quickly exploited.
This variant on the AR BLACK-1 was customized for Allura Kahli rebalancing certain aspects of the standard design. The standard stealth field generator part of her own loadout will make it possible to get close to some of the most reclusive targets; while the extra armor will help survive some of the most dangerous prey in the galaxy. There's nothing an assassin would like more than to bypass the hired help to tackle the real deal.
