Intent: To create a durable substitute for Beskar, that retains some strengths for an affordable price.
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/19836-caught-in-the-act-beskar-mining/
Manufacturer: J.A.C
Model: Bessteel
Affiliation: J.A.C/@Northstar
Production: Mass
Material: Beskar/Steel
Description:
DUE TO LIGHTSABER RESISTANCE IT WILL REQUIRE A PURCHASE THREAD OF SUBSTANCE
Beskar is an incredibly rare element, found in only a handful of places cosmos wide. Steel on the other hand, not so much. So among J.A.C's new line of metallurgy comes Bessteel, which is crafted with 1/4 pound Beskar for every 3/4 pound of Steel - allowing an increased strength and resistance, while also making for a heavy replacement. The best uses for Bessteel lie in:
Gauntlets/Leg Bracers - Generally due to the way gauntlets/bracers are crafted, being a solid cylindrical shaft of metal, Bessteel is utilized best in this region. It is well capable of batting away blaster fire, lightsabers and energy weapons alike for a sustained rate of 3 solid blows, requiring hefty amounts of heat energy to burn clean through. As well, for those that fear an under arm damaging strike, there is always a cross plate you could combine to cover but would still retain multiple weak points.
Torso Armor - Depending on crafting decisions, it can be made thicker or thinner, however if over a certain thickness it begins to become far to heavy. Connecting points for plates become a weakness, for if Bessteel would be used along lines it could cause over weight resulting in broken seams. But when crafted specifically by Northstar, this tends to be avoided.
Helmets - As aforementioned, the material is rather heavy, so while it can be used for Helmets it is regarded as imbecilic to do so. Some could sustain the weight, being of bigger stock among other things, but as a whole most species would find the bulk unbearable against their necks.
Durability:
Energy - 6
Physical - 8
