SPECIAL FEATURES


DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES:

The armour is strongly resistant to lightsabres and highly resistant to physical damage. It is resistant to environmental and elemental damage. This is provided by internal insulation and advanced heating/cooling system. Moreover, it is resistant to sonic damage due to sonic dampeners. The gauntlets can retract so that Enyo can use her mini-disruptor. The armour has a copper Faraday cage to protect it against electromagnetic radiation and actual electric currents such as lightning and electrostatic discharges. Likewise it incorporates an ionization buffer, a combat de-ionizer, Absorbelt and an Electrical Capacitane Shield to further protect against electrical attacks.


It is environmentally sealed with filters to purify atmosphere and one hour’s air in a tank on the back. Hermetic sealing and a rebreather protect the wearer against gasses and such. The helmet's visor itself is made out of Solarium Glastee, which is stronger than conventional glasteel and provides better protection against blaster bolts. The air tank can be replaced by traditional jetpack if needed. Boots are magnetic if space walking is required. It contains a full HUD suite with night vision, telescopiv view and thermal imaging, which provides potent detection capabilities. Regarding integrated weapons systems, the armour comes with a wrist-worn Tensor weapon and a Vanir-designed Grav-Glove. A utlity belt is layered alongside the Absorbelt and can be utilised to store gear.


Strengths:
  • Tanking It. The combination of phrik and armourweave gives the armour potent defensive capabilities. The suit is extremely strong and resistant to most forms of damage. This includes a strong defence against electrical attacks, which would be particularly dangerous for Enyo due to her cybernetic physiology.
  • Gadgets ahoy: The suit incorporates several toys that can aid Enyo in combat.

Weaknesses:
  • Weight. Phrik is a light materiel and the armour's weight is spread over the body, but it's still not that agile. Enyo is already slowed down by her metal limbs, and the suit decreases her mobility even further. In short, she won't be able to perform acrobatics or expansive manoeuvres.
  • Joints: Like with every suit of armour, it is segmented. Thus the joints between the armour plates in the armpits, neck, groin and shoulder are weaker as they lack the heavy plating.
  • Unmagicked: The armour is purely conventional and thus does not stop mental or non-physical applications of the Force.
  • Soft insides: The armour is extremely hard to crack, though hitting the same space several times or using very heavy weapons will produce a result, but kinetic damage cannot be fully negated. Enyo's limbs are phrik, but her torso and head are still organic. Heavy impacts and falls can mess up the squishy, organic bits inside.
  • No sneaking: The armour prohibits stealth. It can be seen and heard coming. Especially since Enyo's metal limbs make her terrible at sneaking around anyway.

DESCRIPTION:

The appropriately named Eisenmensch Armour was designed by Enyo Typhos and produced by Archangel to give Siobhan Kerrigan's clone a potent suit of armour to wear in combat - and ideally kill people the machine cult does not like without getting maimed herself! Key point being ideally. Through an old deal with Rahvin Industries, Archangel already had access to sophisticated power armour for its HRDs, but Enyo wanted something more. The clone designed the armour herself with some input from her mechanical handlers, using phrik acquired from Archangel's base on Seltos. When Enyo rebelled against her mechanical masters and escaped their grip, she took the suit with her.


Enyo will probably not admit it, but it was strongly inspired by the pompously named Imperatrix Armour worn by Siobhan Kerrigan. Thus it is best understood in comparison. Unlike her mirror's outfit, Enyo's suit uses phrik as opposed to beskar. Both materiels are extremely hard to crack, but it makes hers slightly less protective against attacks, especially larger blaster weapons or concussive force. On the other hand, she has a robotic body, which makes it easier for her to wear heavy armour. At the same time, it weighs less and allows slightly more mobility in principle. This is less of an advantage than it might appear on first sight because the aforementioned robotic limbs reduce the clone's speed and mobility. In theory, Enyo could try to compensate this by employing Force Speed, but prolonged use would be too much of a drain on her Force energy, which makes it inefficient.


The suits of the two women differ strongly in appearance. Enyo lacks her mirror's ongoing love affair with the Space Elves and indeed has a low opinion of them, so it's free of Eldorai aesthetics and frankly less ostentatious, going for a more martial look. It is designed to be imposing, take a lot of damage and allow her to hit people hard.


All in all, the armour does a good job protecting Enyo. It does this through a mixture of physical mitigation and outright protection. Particular emphasis was placed on shielding her against hazards such as Force Lightning and all manners of electrical attacks that could easily be fatal to her, since she requires her cybernetics to not only move, but breathe. Moreover, various gadgets were purchased on the open market to give her an edge in combat or otherwise help her.


That said, the armour is not impervious. Heavy weapons and explosives would still cause damage. Since Archangel lacks employees with knowledge of Force arcana and no one gave Enyo any instruction in esoteric arts such as alchemy, it offers no protection against mental attacks or other non-physical applications of the Force. If she faces an opponent using illusions, mentalism, Force Drain or similar techniques, Enyo will have to rely on her own strength to protect herself. The effect of telekinetic impacts, bludgeoning and so on can be mitigated, but not eliminated. Moreover, the armour's bulk can put her at a disadvantage against more mobile opponents, especially in confined quarters.
