Intent: A suit of armour for Connor Harrison when going up against larger foes or beasts – as he experienced on Dromund Kaas, and recently Kulthis, nearly losing his life at the hands of Sith monsters

Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/82427-the-next-world-ssc-v-matsu-xiangu/

Manufacturer: Antarian Rangers / Connor Harrison

Model: N/A

Affiliation: Connor Harrison

Modularity: No

Production: Unique

Material: Armorwave (underlayer), Duraplast (overlayer), Cortosis plates (shoulder, chest, arms, abdomen and legs)

Classification: Multi-purpose body armour

Weight: 15kg

Quality: 8

Special Features: The Cortosis plates will help add extra protection from lightsaber blades and energy weapons, which Connor expects to face. However, not being as resistant against melee attacks like claws and knifes, the duraplast will aid his protection. While not making him invincible to any attack, this suit will help him more when going up against beasts and melee attacks in battle, and also help lead the Silver Jedi. A cowl will be able to fix onto the shoulders.

Night vision lenses can be activated which emit a pale blue glow, an imposing sight to enemies, giving the impression of a beast himself. A mic for communication is fixed to the chinstrap.

Description: This body armor is to be crafted by Connor being inspired by what the Antarian Rangers used to use serving the Silver Sanctum for their heavy troops. Connor has come up against a number of Sith Lords who have all managed to wound him both physically and mentally, but now also use dangerous melee attacks, alchemy and wild beasts in their assault on Sanctum ground.

Connor will wear a basic thermasuit to keep his body temperature regulated. The first layer of the armor is armorweave. The second layer is duraplast. This will help protect him against blades and blaster fire(from a distance), and reinforced joints will allow maximum flexibility and mobility. Cortosis plates would then be fitted over the limbs for protection against lightsaber blades when in a duel and the overlayer duraplast will be suited for melee attacks (knifes, staffs, claws and wild beasts) that the cortosis would fail to be effective against.

Duraplast gauntlets are fixed onto the forearms which will be used to block stabbing weapons and also provide a last-minute chance to grip terrain.

The armor has weak points where the duraplast is not fitted. His underarms and calves are the main places exposed. Also, the suit comes fixed with a helmet, so because of this he can’t turn his head without turning his body. He will have to turn his body to compensate this to survey his surroundings added to the weight of the suit, it is rather cumbersome and will not allow him to perform his usual amount of movement and flexibility. His protection will thus come at a price.

Hello, [member="Connor Harrison"]!

I have a few things to ask of you before I pass it along.

Could you please hyperlink it to the website where you have taken the image, please ? I have found a source which has the image and you could use it instead. - Click.

Would you please change this to yourself, seeing as it is unique and especially for you.

Classification: Body armour
Reading through the submission, I can assume that this is a multi-purpose armor so if you'd change the classification to that, that would be really helpful.



Connor Harrison said:
Weight: 13 – 15kg
Judging by the materials used, I would ask of you to fixate this to 15kg.

I would like you reword this as it gives the impression that the cortosis is strong also against non-energy weapons such as knives, staves, claws and such, while its main properties are anti-energy based weapons. It is described as being brittle which although has this protection vs. energy attacks, it would be more fragile against non-energy weapons. Duraplast on the other hand has the properties of being well durable against such non-energy based attacks.
