Strengths:
- Kinetic Armor: Most slugthrowers and melee weapons dealt little damage to the armor or the wearer.
- K.O.: While high powered blaster rounds would melt through the armor in certain areas, generally the armor had a high rate of survival from blaster wounds as the armor was able to effectively disperse the energy, knocking out the trooper.
- Lightsabers: The armor offered no protection against lightsabers and similarly high powered weapons.
- Sonic: The armor provided little protection against sonic and hard sound weapons.
- Open Face: The helmet was open faced which left the wearer vulnerable to head-shots
Designed for the first line of defense against insurgents and invaders alike, the CBU-01 was a low-tech armor meant for protection and flexibility. The CBU-01 had three layers. The first layer was a black, temperature controlled bodysuit. The bodysuit helped in the energy dispersal process when under fire and kept the wearer's body cool or warm, whatever the needs of the user. The environmental suit worked autonomously, but could be controlled through the U20 Field Wrist Link on the armor's forearm. The Second layer was a gel-like substance meant to disperse kinetic energy and it lied beneath the final layer of segmented plastoid plates. Generally speaking, the armor provided more physical protection than the armor used by Corellian Marines, however as plastoid was a less protective material than the duraplast used in a marine's armor, it provided much less actual protection under fire.
Designed mostly as armor for a peacekeeping force, the armor went heavy into diminishing the kinetic force on the wearer. From primitive slugthrowers and thrown rocks to high powered and silent coil or rail guns, the armor sufficiently protected the wearer from such attacks. In that way it surpassed the armor of the marines, however it provided no protection for the wearer's face. Part of its design was to make the troopers in armor feel more like people rather than nameless and expendable grunts. As a result however, the wearer was extremely vulnerable to attacks aimed at the face or head. The suit was also not rated for use in vacuum as a result.
Painted in the greens, whites, and blacks of CorSec, the CBU-01, while not as effecient and high tech as other armors in use by the Corellians or the larger Galaxy, provided CorSec with the means to fight off pirates, invasions, and rioters. The armor helped fan the budding rivalry between CorSec Troopers and Corellian Marines and the green armor would become a symbol of Corellian security and safety.
