Description: When he first became a bounty hunter, Chaff fully intended to buy a set of heavy armor off of the holonet somewhere. However, he failed to find anything around that suited his needs. Annoyed with this, he decided to make his own custom set of armor, personally made to fit his fast and hard in your face style of combat. it was made with melee combat in mind, and so was built to guard against other's melee strikes, and has his own melee weapons built in. He also made sure that his wrist weapons were able to be swapped out, so that he would be able to adapt his equipment as he needed to for the job at hand. Of course, he can't just do that in the middle of a battle, it's a time consuming process. He also made sure to add a jetpack as well, so that he would be able to rapidly close the distance to attackers.

The armor only has average resistance to blasters, Since Chaff's typical strategy against them is to close on them and attack with his blades if possible, or just use his own to kill them quickly. He attempted to make the armor resistant to lightsabers as well, but limitations of the material only allowed him to get average defense against them.

In order to attain that, some things needed to be sacrificed. The armor does not do all that much good against kinetic weapons, with Chaff forced to rely on cover or dodging them. In addition, the armor itself is not that mobile on the ground, so if the jetpack is disabled or runs out of fuel in a protracted battle, Chaff will be considerably slowed. Also, Chaff, being no expert in the force, has no real defenses against force attacks in the armor, and is vulnerable to attack in that fashion.
