Description:
For years now Sven had been using only an old armorweave and leather coat in order to defend himself. However with the One Sith gaining dominion over the One Sith, and his pact to maintain rule of the planet as long as he served them, Sven had decided it was time to upgrade his armor, if only just a tad.
Knowing that eventually he would be thrown into combat situations, thus the King of Byss commission Titan Industries to create a lightweight yet efficient armor systems that could be used for the tasks an agent like Sven would be sent upon.
The basis of the armor is a thick thermal bodysuit that covers the entire body up to the neck. This suit is placed beneath the armor and is airtight, sealing with the armors mask to create a vacuum proof environment that allows the wearer to survive in space for a short amount of time.
Over this thermal bodysuit is placed another layer of armor. This armor is made up of the highly flexible and highly efficient armorweave. The armor is cut into two portions, the lower half which has significantly less coverage, being only a single layer of armorweave, and the upper half which has three separate layers of armorweave placed on top of each other. This separation of layers means its entirely possible to wear only pieces of the armor.
The bottom half of the armor resembles a simple black pair of pants, though they are inordinately quite heavy. As stated before the pants are a simply single layer of armorweave, woven together quite simply to dissipate blaster shots, the pants are able to take 2-3 blaster shots before being rendered useless. Due to its single layer however the pants are unable to resist lightsabers.
The top half of the armor could be said to be far more stylized. The armor simply resembles a very heavy leather coat. The Coat can be zipped and unzipped and is quite flexible compared to other armors. This gives the wearer a massive advantage when it comes to movement. As stated above the coat contains not one, but three layers of armorweave. Each layer of the material is woven over itself and then tightly compressed to form the jacket itself. Due to this process the coat is extremely blaster resistant. It takes more than a dozen shots to pierce through the coat. Alongside this the jacket is also capable of taking glancing lightsaber strikes, though a direct thrust or impact of the weapons blade with enough effort will cut through the coat.
Along with its armor qualities both the coat and pants have several pockets and hooks in which to keep tools and gadgets in. The Pants has two large pockets in the front, two small ones in the back, and a large attached holster on the right thigh that fits most standard Blasters. The Coat has three outside pockets, two on each side and one on the right breast. On the inside of the coat's left breast in another large pocket, usually where sensitive materials are kept.
The finishing touch of the armor is its mask. Though it would be more accurate to call it a helmet, this small plastoid mask covers the entire head and seals with the Thermal Bodysuit, attaching itself to two tubes that run down the length of the spine of the bodysuit attached to a small container of oxygen that lasts for about 15 minutes. Usually the mask uses its built in filters to draw oxygen from the environment around it, and thus using the oxygen tank requires a button to be pressed. Aside from being sealed the helmet also offers the Standard HUD and Communication device one would find in most armors.
The Armor all in all is made to be incredibly easy to modify. It is more of a basis for operatives to design their own armor around, and thus is quite easy to change.
