DESCRIPTION
The Cluvius Royal Armor is a heirloom passed down from generation to generation, specifically to the Lakan (Commander) of the Cluvius army. Over time, the armor has been improved, keeping it up-to-date with recent technology to maintain a field use advantage. Some portions have been replaced, some repaired and others lost - such as the helmet that originally completed the armor set. Colored with the blue-silver and bright red of the Cluvius Guard, the armor has more recently been altered to fit Liber's towering and broad frame.
The armor serves as an effective field command, with access to local mission holomaps on the gauntlet, and a utility belt that has numerous items for surviving and leading troops for days at a time. The armor has several methods of communication, as well as advanced rangefinders that are capable of locking onto specific targets and maintaining a simulated sight line even through solid mass, such as walls. However, the longer the target is out of sight, the less accurate the lock-on becomes. It also boasts an integrated "Vishnu" Military Shield, produced by Jaeger Solutions, which has removed the need for carrying a portable supply box for the item; it now has all its systems spread beneath the plating of the armor, primarily located on the back beneath the beskar and duratseel.
In the last several months, the armor has been updated to include rare Beskar, due to a local group of Mandalorians being disposed of on the planet Doldur (the Cluvius homeworld). The royal metal-smiths were able to use portions of the Mandalorian armor, reinforcing the resistances of the vital plating as a whole, and providing the Cluvius Prince with more protection while out in the field. The additional armor and mass means the set is heavier, but due to the segmented properties of the plating, there is still a high degree of flexibility and maneuverability for Liber.
Strengths:
- Strong Plating: The main armor segments are composed of Beskar and reinforced with durasteel. This means those areas are highly Resistant to blasters, kinetic damage and lightsaber strikes and can take multiple blows before failing. This also accounts for most of the weight of the armor.
- SG-1001 "Vishnu" Military Shield: The Vishnu shield offers amazing protection against energy, sonic and environmental threats. Being integrated into the armor itself, it no longer has the disadvantage of having a portable supply box that can be damaged.
- Segmented Flexibility: Because the armor is segmented over the vitals, this allows the wearer to move more freely in combat and have a greater flexibility and speed, at the cost of more armor coverage.
- Field Command: This armor has an assortment of supplies and gear specifically designed for field command, when in use for battle or when required to strategically order troops.
- No Helmet: The armor doesn't have a helmet, which was lost a generation ago on the battlefield.
- Weight: The armor, despite being in segmented plate-form, is heavy and requires considerable physical strength to not be over-encumbered.
- Segmented Openings: While the vital areas are highly protected, the rest of the armor is a combination of reinforced armorweave and laminate plastoid, which isn't as resistant to damage as the main plating.
- Non-Kinetic Shield: The Vishnu shield has little defense against kinetic attacks, such as slugthrowers and bladed weaponry. Such kinetic attacks are able to go through the shield with relative ease.
