Material: The platemail, “football shoulderpads” portions are composed of spider-chitin – spiders who have been created and reformatted by DarkStryder technology made of the earthly matter of dead Sith. The underlay is a combination of the silk from these same spiders, as well as a weave of the Force-imbued silk of the Anans’ai people.

Special Features: Shatterpoint Resistance -- The markings upon the armor are of the ancient, forgotten Charon written word. They are designed to harmonize the armor with the “Deity Frequency” within the Force of Durga, The Void, who appears in art as a many-armed, sometimes spidery, sometimes human woman riding on the back of a Tiger. The tiger is the vehicle, not in control of his own destiny, steered by She. And as such, Tyger Tyger is similarly moved by greater purpose, and cannot be derailed by the thrashing of webs. This effect encompasses Milo’s entire hitbox, protecting his weapons, as well, so long as they remain on his person. Any who attempt to exploit a Shatterpoint on Tyger Tyger will become involved in a Force Willpower confrontation that, ordinarily, Tyger Tyger wouldn't have the aptitude for.
Description: The Anans’ai Devilhunter Cult of Korriban are a spider-like, spider-worshipping people descended from a long lost group of Charon missionaries. Over time, they’ve lost track of the history and language of their forebears, remembering them and echoing their traditions in dreams, art, and unconscious regions of cultural memory. The DarkStryder tech they brought with them has since become more primitive, and their maintaining of it has less to do with science and more to do with religious ritual. Their ship, a DarkStryder vessel, has come to evolve into a giant spider, which the Anans’ai have come to understand as the earthly manifestation of Durga, She of the Mountain, known for her slaying of demons and riding on a tiger (An element added to the story due to the previous Tyger Tyger’s probable contributions to the Charon missions escape from Otherspace and initial survival on Korriban). Durga eats Sith Lords, then repurposed their matter and energy into smaller spiders, which are then consumed and their parts utilized by the Anans’ai below, their meat and carapaces gifted with unique properties, deliberately enhanced by the Durga spider to ensure survival. This suit of armor was a special job, given to Tyger Tyger for his role as cultural hero.
Strengths:
· Very effective guard against Darkside Alter abilities, such as Force Choke and Force Lightning.
· Offers Milo great protection against Ballistics, Blasters, and Lightsabers (Energy resistance)in the areas guarded by the chitin.
· Offers Milo mild protection (Energy Resistance) against blasters and sabers to his lower torso
Weaknesses:
· Only protects against Darkside Force powers, which would be grand, if Tyger Tyger didn’t work alongside Darksiders in near exclusivity.
· The more directly protective aspects of the armor only really guard the neck, shoulders, and upper torso, leaving Milo quite vulnerable everywhere else. The
silkweave provides minor protection to his lower torso, but not to such a degree that would even be worth making a Tech Submission over.
