SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Crystal Pauldrons: Encrusted on each shoulder plate is a cluster of spiritually active Force crystal shards, each imbued by master forgewrights to store a single charge of barrier which can be consumed at will.
  • Holodisplay Gauntlet: A lone modern conceit fashioned onto the left vambrace of the armor's otherwise ancient design, this compact holopad device allows the suit's wearer to stay up to date on intelligence reports, activate a topographical map of their surroundings, even send and receive communications.
  • Utility Belt: Comes equipped with everything a standard utility belt would provide, as well as a spyglass, a compass, and a sheathe for a small vibroblade
STRENGTHS
  • Ornate Guardian Armor: Crafted during an era when Jedi and Sith were simply distinctions on the battlefield, each Cuirass is far bulkier than the warrior monk equipment of today, not to mention more ostentatious. Their composition and the skill of their creators allow whoever dons them shrug off significant damage.
  • Crystal Shards: By consuming the imbued energy within each of the pauldrons' inlaid crystals whoever dons this armor is able to manifest a Force barrier with little strain or concentration.
WEAKNESSES
  • Heavy Metal: This armor is extraordinarily heavy. Even the most powerful humanoids would suffer limited movement if they were to don it. This is not a suit of armor forged with agility in mind.
  • Shatterpoint: Each pauldron only has a limited number of crystals to consume, and particularly powerful effects can overload individuals, triggering a chain reaction of eruptions that could even channel energy as feedback directly through the metal plate.
  • Blind Spots: Even if its wearer could turn on a dime, there are significant gaps in their available peripheral vision and situational awareness.
DESCRIPTION

The Cuirass' of Crystal Dawn are thousands of years old, a set of ancient Jedi relics lost to the ages until an expedition led by the Oathsworn Reliquary liberated them along with a minor trove of archaeological findings underneath the surface of Tython. While the other artifacts were stored and catalogued the grandest of these magnificent sets of ornate Jedi Guardian armor was presented to the Regent Lord Titus Valerius, Master and Commander of the Oathsworn Legions.

Decreeing that it would be unjust to let such a masterworks rust away unused in some dreary cellar, he instead removed his own handcrafted warplate and took up the mantle himself as one of the Crystal Dawn's chosen knights. Dispatching honor guards to convey the other sets to some of his most trusted fellows. Lord Valerius is rarely seen without his hauberk, an exquisite piece of artisanry that is nevertheless eminently functional.

Perhaps the most notable facet of each cuirass is their crystal encrusted set of shoulder plates, jutting up from each pauldron like jagged spikes. After every battle any destroyed crystals are replaced with freshly harvested specimens from the Oathsworn's crystal mines on Tython. Some minor refurbishment has been permitted under the careful scrutiny of Vur Tepe, but for the most part the armor Titus wears today is much the same as it was when it was last consecrated in battle during the New Sith Wars.
