DESCRIPTION
AIL began shifting from experimental weapons technology to standard weapons and armor following the imperial takeover of the core. As such, AIL focused it's design to a humanoid combat armor that was meant to accommodate for wide range of environments. The armor itself is bulky and requires a user with proper combat training to utilize effectively. The design itself was copied directly from the early days of the Galactic Alliance Sector Rangers as the design was meant to protect the wearer from the most common types of weapons inducing blasters, slug throwers, edged, and melee weapons. However they have a notable weakness to vibroblades and lightsabers.

The wearers of this armor are meant to match the skill of other standard galactic special forces units. With enough utilities and protection to ensure the survivability of the wearer, the Alnico is an armor sufficient for the most experienced of soldiers.
