Description: With the Protectorate transitioning back to a minor player on the galactic scene, Sarge realized he was going to need to prepare for a return to the only line of work he truly understood - that of a gun, or in this case blade, for hire. As a trained Force User atop his already prodigious martial skill, he knew that his skills would likely come to be in high demand as a mercenary. But it also meant the realization that he would likely exclusively be put up against his employer's opponents own trained Forcers.
With the understanding that a lightsaber was likely to be typical opponents weapon, but the knowledge that he could also be put into the role of a groundpounder, wetworker or other 'soldier' position, he decided to strip down the armor he had been building on for so long to return to his roots; quiet mobility. The Pyre had always considered itself a light, mobile force, and that meant his massive powered armor was not going to fit the identity the PMC was used to.
So he stripped down a suit until he got to the barebones exoskeleton, and sized it for himself. With a small inbuilt battery and brief oxygen supply, the exoskeleton was a huge downgrade in terms of sheer aggressive potential but an upgrade in just about every other aspect. It was lighter, more maneuverable, less visually arresting, and was generally more suited to an individual mercenary than someone leading a band of Anti-Force Users.
This meant that his suit could only handle a light 2:1 strength enhancement, and it did little to nothing for agility. Meant to be worn with his 'Cater Coat,' Sarge has applied his usual pragmatism to the design of this armor. His primary opponents will be Force Users, and as such he has guarded himself against Force attacks and general weaponry while also providing himself an overall edge in sheer brute strength. The usual weaknesses apply, however, in that armor cannot protect every part of the body and any weapon beyond 'personal' is likely to overpower him immediately.
As a nod to his returning to his past, he's given the armor a sentimental name.
