Description: Due to a sheer stroke of bad luck (Or good luck, depending on how one would view the circumstances), Sera ended up in the Roche Asteroid Field, when her ship collided with space debris, damaging the vessel and forcing a landing on Nickel One, the capital city of the Verpine who resided on the asteroid. As it turned out, the Verpine were in need of assistance to rescue a dozen of their miners from an unfortunate turn of events while attempting to extract the ore from an excavation site just outside of the city. Sera agreed to help them recover their workers, equipment, and extracted Phrik in exchange for assistance with repairing her ship. At the conclusion of the daunting task, she managed to save all of the Verpine workers, as well as most of their equipment, while they completed extracting the Phrik.

Consequently, the leader of the Verpine on Nickel One repaired her ship and also gifted to her a bit of Phrik as a token of gratitude. The Twi'lek felt that this would serve well integrated into her leather jerkin, given that it was resistant to lightsabers, and lightweight. The jerkin was manufactured using a combination of spacer's leather as a base material, armorplast, and infused with Phrik, to provide a lightweight, highly effective jerkin to protect against lightsabers, blasters, and slugthrowers. An inherent weakness in the materials used give it two key flaws, the first being electrical current, with the second being bludgeoning weapons. The jerkin is meant to compliment the gauntlets in that by combining the two, the wearer's arms would be entirely protected. However, where the armor is intended to protect the entirety of one's back, their lower and mid-torso, the area between the wearer's neck and sternum, which is shown above, remains exposed, and is advisable to wear an undershirt of similar material to compensate for this lack of protection in this particular area.

A nice sub all around, and the dev is good. :)

I really only have one question; does the armor provide protection for the cleavage and upper torso?
Going by the picture alone it is not so, and the description offers no further insight.

Due to this, I'd like you to flesh out a bit more on where exactly the phrik plating is located, and where armorplast is used instead.

Tag me with answers/edits. :)
