SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Composite Construction: Anakkona is primarily composed of a layered Defensa body glove, which is lightweight, flexible, and provides protection from a variety of common threats. A number of spun-plast panels overlay areas of the body prone to rubbing from and chaffing from carrying equipment as well as providing additional padding and protection from some kinetic threats. But for serious protection, Anakkona uses thick, reinforced duravlex armor plates on the head, torso, arms, and legs. These armor panels can be repositioned via straps to better fit the wearer for a more natural fit to improve agility. A thick pane of ceraglass is used for the faceplate on the otherwise duravlex helmet, giving the user good visibility in case the suit is electronically disabled and the HUD is inactivated while still providing reasonable protection against many battlefield threats.
  • Loth-Wolf series Combat Scanner with SC-1 Hardened Comlink: This system provides Anakkona with its standard package of HUD, sensors, and basic battle armor command and control systems as described in that submission. An open sensor slot in the Loth-Wolf has been plugged in with a Personal Combat Threat Analyzer to help enhance combat performance. Loth-Wolf is automatically linked to provide tracking and firing information to any gauntlet devices and can also be configured to provide the same information for many hand-held weapons too.
  • Asclepius Bio-support Dispenser: This internal device provides basic physiological monitoring, emergency topical bacta/kolto administration, and can also inject users with a variety of emergency or performance enhancing drugs.
  • Utility Belt: Anakkona comes with a streamlined utility belt roughly inspired by the classic stormtrooper belt. Each belt contains the following equipment: a spool of high tension wire, one grappling hook, four power packs, three ion flares (for illumination or emergency signaling), a combat de-ionizer, and four Vaynai Emergency Ration packs.
  • Modular Utility Vambrace (x1): One of Anakkona's vambraces is set up to house a single device from one of the following:
    • 888-series Tactical Microcomputer: This minute portable computer designed to provide guided indepth knowledge/skills via knowledge cartridges, allowing users to brush up skills or provide knowledge they may not otherwise readily know, whether it's how to place demolition charges, fix a vehicle, slice a computer with automated tools, or speak Shyriiwook.
    • Holo-projector: This vambrace contains a miniaturized holo-projector along with speaker, microphone, and holo-camera, making it easier to communicate with people far away.
    • Arqet-class Personal Security Shield: This compact, bracer-style energy shield is oriented to providing short-term but high intensity protection from common threats.
    • Liquid Cable Launcher: This cable launcher can provide enough synthrope for 300 meters and combines it with a powered winch, allowing users to ascend and descend as needed.
    • Paralysis Cord Launcher: This whipcord-like launcher can quickly bind up an opponent in a self-wrapping and electrify the target to render it unconscious, making it useful for capturing live targets.
  • Modular Weapon Vambrace(x1): One of Anakkona's vambraces is set up to house a single weapon from one of the following:
  • Modular Cape Clasps: Anakkona has gription panels and pinning mounts above the wearer's clavicle that allow the user to easily attach different types of cloaks, capes, and ponchos. This allows items like camouflage pattern cloaks to be worn to increase passive stealth, all temperature cloaks to adapt to exceptionally hot or cold weather, or ceremonial dress cloaks to be worn by honor guards.
  • Modular Load-Bearing System: Lucerne Personal Defense found that most individuals and military units prefer to customize their webbing gear to carry any number of different holsters, pouches, bags, and other devices. Consequently, rather than trying to make a single integrated set of load-bearing equipment, Anakkona has rows of attachment clips and gription panels spread out across the entire suit. This allows users the ability to directly attach a wide variety of equipment to the armor itself based on their own preferred organizational layout rather than trying to adapt equipment to rigid compartments or static layouts. The straps on the back have been configured in order to accept a number of LPD's pack format products, including the Mailoc Photonic Rocket Pack, the Drexl Flightpack, and the Tauntaun series Modular Backpack.
  • Basic Environmental Protection: Like many common battle armors such as stormtrooper armor, Anakkona provides limited protection from hostile environments. Each suit can be vacuum proof through its self-sealing Defensa body glove and built-in Pneuma-series Rebreathing System, which also has an independent air supply. This rebreathing system also allows its users to filter atmospheres from toxic gases, both natural and artificial, as well as the potential to breathe underwater with the right filters.
STRENGTHS
  • Resistant (Kinetic): Annakona uses a Defensa base and Duravlex plates(which contain Kevlex) to provide the user with good kinetic protection. Spun-plast impregnation and burthan thread provides some protection from glancing hits of physical weapons while the duravlex plates can withstand some good direct hits from even some high velocity weapons. Unlike many armors, Annakona's use of thermal gel pockets in the Defensa textile makes such hits easier to endure on the wearer: when struck, this gel, stiffens up and absorb kinetic energy upon impact before spreading its energy across the rest of the connected cloth.
  • Resistant (Energy): Annakona was designed primarily to protect against the most common threat on most battlefields: blasters and related energy weapons. To that end, its Defensa textile base is exceptionally resistant to blasters, while the additional duravlex plating provides additional protection for key body parts.
  • Resistant (Thermal): Both the thermal gel found in Defensa and the Duravlex provide solid insulation from changes in temperature, especially from high heat. In fact, the duravlex armor plates are likely to survive intact heat longer than the wearer behind them can.
  • Modular: Annakona is a fairly modular piece of equipment which is quite customizer for user's tastes or for certain mission requirements.
WEAKNESSES
  • Heavy: The extensive use of thick Duravlex and ceraglass plating make this armor heavier than many other personal armors.
  • Low Sonic Resistance: Defensa textile provides very little protection against sonic weapons due to its lightweight construction and frequent fluid pockets (through which sound transmits through easier than many solid materials of similar depth.
  • Low Radiation Resistance: None of the materials used by Annakona provide much protection from radiation weapons, in large part due to its thin, flexible Defensa layers. Perhaps even worse, the microbes embedded in the weave are living things, and radiation (aside from heat from weapons like blaster bolts) consequently can quickly kill them. This not only can lessen Defensa's protection against energy weapons, but the debris from their destruction can rapidly become enmeshed with other debris or frayed fabric strands, leading to reduced flexibility that cannot be repaired without replacing sections of fabric.
  • Low EMP/Ion Resistance: Any resistance to ion or EMP weapons is incidental, and is largely due to the thickness of the Duravlex plates blocking out ion movement due to its sheer density.
DESCRIPTION
While usually a little uncomfortable due to the weight, heavy battle armors are provide some of the best protection the common soldier can expect. They are particularly prized by soldiers who do not have worry much about movement, such as those manning guard posts or who remain largely embarked on vehicles. Seeing that their aging Annakona Battle Armor was losing market share, Lucerne Personal Defense redesigned one of their earliest products to incorporate many of their newer technologies, including a proprietary HUD and comlink systems, modular weapon systems, and bio-support dispenser. Like many of the company's newer armors, Annakona II starts form-fitting bodyglove overlaid by armor plates complete with a helmet to form a fully self-sealed environment that is capable of not only protecting fighters from blaster bolts and slugs but also from hostile environments and unknown threats.

Of interest to most wearers, Annakona II's bodyglove is made of Defensa textile, an advanced fabric that provides more protection than initially meets the eye. Not only is it fairly resistant to blasters and kinetic threats, but it is also self-sealing - a literal lifesaver in hostile environments from the vaccuum of space to toxic atmospheres. Annakona II's HUD system not only displays firing vectors and allows its wearer to see in adverse conditions, but it also provides threat analysis, alerting the wearer of possible threats and highlighting possible weaknesses in an enemy. This HUD system automatically links to the devices installed in the modular vambraces, allowing users to quickly and intuitively attack opponents with a variety of exotic weapons or otherwise interact with other devices. The HUD also interacts with the bio-support dispenser

Llwelkyn is a staple item among many Silver Jedi Concord-affiliated militaries, frequently being one of the standard issue personal armors among many planetary defense forces. It also founds common use within the Directorate among specialist troops who want more protection than simple fatigues but who don't want to wear bulky power armor. The sheer demand for personal armor, especially after material losses after the Bryn'adul War, means that Llwelkyn will likely be in production for a long time.
