- Armor has been modular to allow for the ease of repair on multiple components if not outright replacing them or swapping them out for newer and better components. This makes the new suit much easier to maintain and upgrade over the older suit that was more focused on pure survivability.
- Various sound dampeners and improvements to the actuators on the armor make it perfectly silent while operating, allowing for a user to move with the smoothness, grace and silence of a ballet dancer. At least until they step on something.
- New suit has been over engineered by replacing many of the alchemized and imbued components with more conventional technologies and materials. This including the removal of the neck guards and instead installing more armor plates and improving the Powered Armor System makes the suit heavier, hit harder, and potentially run faster than the old suit (without utilizing the standard repulsor boots). This also makes the suit much easier to repair and maintain, as it no longer requires the operator be either trained or co-located with a Sith Alchemist to make significant repairs to the armor plating or suit.
- New suit also has been fitted for and comes standard with a Phrik-B Shield and Sword, that are just solid pieces of the metal fashioned into these objects and able to be either directly attached or detached to the suit.
- It's bigger and badder than ever before: This suit takes the older suit that it was based on and doubles down. It increases the armor protection, strength, speed, and even comes with a longsword attached directly to the armor. To put it simply this armor is perfect for launching an all out assault where a Force User needs to do Force User things and only that.
- It's a close combat monster: So the sword and shield combo that come with this suit, alongside the overall construction and design of the suit make it a beast in close combat. Its enhanced strength, ability to carry multiple weapons, and that there is a literal massive shield attached to it, can certainly make headaches for the unlucky soul who encounters it up close.
- More of a one trick pony: This armor is great for one thing and one thing only, the actual fighting in combat. It is ill suited to go on longer missions, carry extra gear aside from a few nifty gadgets, and other things that would make it much more flexible in combat. It looks nice, however the power supply is much more limited due to the nature of it being full blown enhanced power armor, and is a dedicated close combat platform.
- Again, the Force goes both ways: This suit neither restricts nor protects against the Force in any way. So you best do yourself a favor and get good son.
- Lacks in the departments of wave based threats: So if you'll notice there's a big, biiiiiiiiig issue with this armor. Being as hardened and tough as it is, there is a major drawback to utilizing Phrik-B in its construction which is the hardness and relative energy retention of the metal. And while this works in its favor against blaster weapons, there's a glaring issue that could not be solved without increasing the bulk to the point where the suit would be almost unusable in combat. The armor plating itself does not absorb, nor deflect the radiation, sonic waves, or even blast shockwaves very well. Meaning that should a user encounter such threats in the field, they must be extremely aware of them and take extra precautions against them.
One of two pieces adopted by Damian Frost upon his newly achieved status as an Acolyte of the Sith, he needed an armor that fit his new station and would complement his new life. For this he chose two sets of armor produced locally in the Sith Empire that were mainly considered battle armor, however modifying them for specific uses. This kit would be the one he focused towards honing his craft as a Sith, becoming an excellent combatant with both lightsabers and standard blades. This alongside the armor's ability to better tank damage, this would be something Damian would wear if he knew that the mission in question would be one that would definitely require him to fight as a true Sith. To get in close to his enemies, to see the whites of their eyes and the terrors in their souls as he destroyed the enemies of The Sith Empire and his Emperor. And with heavy armor, a massive shield, and the ability to move like a space gorilla on spice on fire, this suit definitely can throw some curveballs to most traditional combatants. A trait Damian can certainly admire.
Plus it dresses up well real nice, especially when he gives it a nice polish.
