Description: Made by Mandalorian armor manufacturers, the "Ranger" armor was a very expensive piece of armor for outsiders, but for a Mandalorian it was free of charge. Made in 837 ABY. It was developed exclusively for Mandalorians, but it ended up being changed so outsiders could buy it, but for a massive amount of money. Repairing it is very expensive, even for Mandalorians and that is why those who wear the armor do not repair it often. It appealed to Vahn Fett, a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter.

Hello, [member="Vahn Fett"]. I'll be your judge today.

It's a nice first submission, and with a few tweaks, this will be ready to go.

Beskar, unfortunately, is a restricted material, and thus requires a development thread.

Beskar (( Objective: Perform a mining operation, a raid, an excavation, or steal to obtain Mandalorian Iron Ore from any of the following planets: Mandalore, Concordia, Echo'lya –OR— inflict a devastating defeat on a Mandalorian character and have them verify it. Characters belonging to the Major Faction whose influence covers Mandalore and/or Concordia are exempt from fulfilling this objective.
All tech submissions involving Mandalorians using Beskar will require a forging or construction thread of at least 10 posts where the item is made. Limited or minor production items will require longer dev threads of 20 and 30 posts respectively, or at the discretion of the Factory Judge. ))

• Even though your character is Mandalorian, you'll have to do a forging/construction development thread of a minimum of 10 quality posts where you describe the creation or assembly of the Ranger armor.

Production: Semi-Unique

• Please specify exactly how many were made.

Automatic Defence Mode (ADM) can be activated which the armor can turn resistant for a short period of time to lightsabers, Ion grenades and blasters.

• Beskar already offers lightsaber- and blaster-resistance, so this is rather redundant. If you wish to keep it, you'll have to explain how exactly it works.

Gloves can be used to climb glass surfaces such as windows.

• How does this work? Keep in mind that it has to be something with the ability to hold up a grown man and 22 kg of beskar plate.

If long periods are spent underwater, temperature systems may be destroyed. Can be repaired.

• I take it from this line that the armor has some sort of vacuum-sealing function and an oxygen tank? If so, please note this in the description.

- Impossible to use force concealment perfectly.
- Temperature systems may be destroyed when using Force Alter Environment. Can be repaired.

• These two weaknesses are extremely circumstantial. You may remove them from the submission.

All in all, a good start. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask.

@Mention me with questions/edits.

I'd like to abandon this thread, please. I have no desire for this piece of armor anymore.
