OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To make a armorweave-like material made from Stesr'gar for Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
  • Image Source: N/A
  • Canon Link: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Primary Source: Stesr'gar
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Multipurpose armorweave
  • Weight: Light
  • Resistances:
    • Energy (And other Blaster type weapons): Very High
    • Kinetic: Very High
    • Lightsabers: Very High
    • Other:
      • Heat: High
      • Acid: Low
      • EMP/Ion: None
      • Sonic: None
STRENGTHS
  • Highly Resistant to Energy Weapons/Lightsabers: As with 'standard' Beskar, Stesr'gar is highly resistant to energy weapons as well as lightsabers, which even in the changing battlefields of the modern galaxy are still the notable majority of threats that a Mandalorian might be called on to face.
  • Lightweight: Thanks to the the molecular structure of Carbon and the Verpine Ultramesh process as well as the process that makes the metal into a flexible mesh weave, the resultant armor is extremely lightweight for the protection that it affords.
  • Composites: Lighter base alloy weight means that it now becomes more viable to make composite armor using a beskar based alloy, Stesr'gar in particular.
  • Heat Resistant: Beskar, and Stesr'gar both have a high melting point, and as a result the material itself has a strong resistant to heat.
WEAKNESSES
  • Long Production Times: Increasing scale can only help so much, given the complicated production process of the alloy, Breshig War Forge Consolidated can only produce the armor to fulfill the needs of their own. Even then, replacement parts for products made with this aren't always sent out in a timely manner.
  • Kinetic Force Partially Carries Through: As with most flexible armors, a portion of the kinetic impact still carries through the armor to the wearer. A strong enough impact is more than enough to break some ribs or cause trauma.
  • Acid: Unfortunately, acid still has a nasty habit of doing awful things to metal, and Beskar in particular apparently. Stesr'gar isn't exempted from this shortcoming.
  • Alive Today, Dead Tomorrow: Stesr'gar is still beskar at the end of the day, and given the variety of anti-Beskar weapons being developed in the galaxy, something that might be stopped today would definitely penetrate or otherwise damage the armor beyond use or kill the wearer tomorrow.
DESCRIPTION
The undersuit, or kute, of Mandalorian armor is typically made from armorweave. The combination of the protection offered by armorweave, it's relative light weight and its flexibility made it an obvious choice. However, armorweave didn't have the same damage resistance as beskar. Beskar however, was not the lightest of materials, even once made into a mesh weave. So when producing the Ori'kute armor, designers came to the realization that they could apply the same process to Stesr'gam. Already being lightweight, it was an excellent choice for this purpose.

Naturally, armorweave typically has the same issues as the material that it is made out of, and the armorweave made from Stesr'gar is no exception. Given the difficulty of producing the alloy in the first place, Stesr'gar armorweave suffers from long production times. While Stesr'gar also suffers from beskar's problem of being unable to completely negate the impact of a kinetic weapon, the armorweave variant suffers from that issue even more given that it is flexible. It'll stop the round more than likely, but it'll still likely hurt if it is a powerful round. Then again, even with how uncommon common sense is in the galaxy, most people aren't stupid enough to fire at an armored Mandalorian with a cheap low power bargain bin slugthrower.

Acid, seems to be the bane of all metals, given the potency of acids deployed. Beskar, Stesr'gar and armorweave made from Stesr'gar are no exceptions. Especially considering the number of acids developed for specific use against beskar. Which is another issue. The number of weapons developed for specific use against beskar only grows by the day, and it is likely that some new technological or alchemical monstrosity will be invented to capitalize on some previously unknown imperfection in the alloy. It is unsurprising then, that the company and its subsidiary both cite weapons developed as a result of anti-Mandalorian prejudice as the number one cause of workplace stress.
