Mishka Larraq
Farmer's Daughter
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intent: To make a fancy new metal
Image Source: NA
Canon Link: Mandalorian Iron
Restricted Missions: NA
Primary Source: NA
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Homeworld: Mandalore
Manufacturer: House Larraq Plate and Blade
Model: Artisan Beskar ("Kih'kando Beskar" in Mandoa)
Affiliation: Restricted Sales
Modularity: Moderate
Production: Semi-unique (only Technology submissions can be made from this)
Material: Beskar Ore and a unique combination of supporting elements in the forging process
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: "Lightweight Beskar" Metal
Weight: Light
Resistance: Extreme
SPECIAL FEATURES
Traditionally, the practical weakness of Beskar is that it is a very heavy metal. With this metal, that 'heavy weight' weakness has been removed and replaced with a new weakness. The new weakness for this metal is that it is highly conductive to electricity. Additionally, a marginal reduction in overall durability has been added for "lore" purposes. For all practical effects though... It's the same as Beskar.
Strengths:
An old formula of House Larraq, Artisan Beskar is created through minor variations to the ancient tradition of forging beskar, as well as trading out a handful of additives for alternative, superconductive substances. The result, known in Mandoa as "Kih'kando Beskar" (lightweight beskar), is significantly lighter than traditional beskar while only suffering a trivial reduction in overall durability. Not without its own set of troubles, Artisan Beskar suffers from a significant increase in conductivity which makes it, typically, a poor choice for personal armor in spite of its extreme reduction in weight.
Occasionally used in daggers and other blades, Artisan Beskar is typically only used in weapons and armor when great care has been taken to protect the user from electrocution. Though rarely ordered, Artisan Beskar is sometimes used in high value electronics where durability is a major concern.

Strengths:
- Almost identical to traditional Beskar in terms of durability
- Much lighter in weight than traditional Beskar
- Highly Conductive to Electricity
