Approved Armor FAH-451 "Pyre" Armor

[Helix]

"Nasty, well-rounded, feature-dense, but not invincible. The real trick has been capturing any intact examples for study. The Dzara doesn't like evidence or loose ends, and that includes its own soldiers." - Anonymous Anti-Slavery Partisan​

STRENGTHS

• Wetwork: Dzara Firemen are most often tasked with complex missions in any number of environments. Their armor possesses superb resistance to a wide array of environmental, radiological, chemical, and biological hazards.
• Well-Rounded: Pyre armor possesses few structural weak points, providing modest protection to almost every centimeter of the wearer.

WEAKNESSES

• Generalist: Pyre armor provides a broad-spectrum but fairly mediocre protection against direct damage, relying far more on its user's skill to avoid damage. It will not long stand up to repeated small arms fire or heavier weapon impacts.

DESCRIPTION

Under normal circumstances, Dzara personnel have no formal, unifying style of dress. Consisting as it does of a coalition of the forces of several Sith-aligned persons, the Dzara is as heterodox in appearance as in nature.

Nonetheless, the Dzara do maintain a force of professional, full-time killers, colloquially known as "Firemen". These troops are generally tasked with clandestine operations, destruction of evidence, assassination, asset extraction, or other tasks too delicate to trust to the average criminal.

These operatives are usually seen alongside important Dzara personnel or dispatched on missions where a professional hand is needed.

As such, their armor is relatively light and comfortable, consisting of a double-layered Shadeweave bodyglove, into which are woven countless, molecule-forged Helsteel scales. This method provides some protection from small arms fire, while still keeping excess weight to a minimum. Most importantly, it ensures that the armor has no proper weak spots: every centimeter provides at least minor protection.

Underneath this external armor layer is a thin sheen of organic FormGel, which serves to strongly insulate the wearer from external environmental hazards. Effectively acting as a second skin, this addition grants the armor excellent protection against chemical, biological, and radiological attack, as well as significant insulation against extremes of heat and cold.

The set is topped with an identity-obscuring mask. This headpiece is perhaps the most sophisticated and complex part of the armor, featuring an integrated Aftershock system, a Carrion Bioscanner, an Overture medical suite, and perhaps most importantly, full Serpentine integration. The user can seamlessly control the armor's functions as if they were part of their own body, greatly increasing their ease of use.

The handsfree and user-friendly nature of the suit's systems ensures that nothing will distract the Dzara's officially-nonexistent cleanup crews from their duties.
