Image Source: Here. Artist unknown. Appears to be concept art for a game though. (One must imagine this armour with a helmet though.)
Intent: To create [member="Kaida Taldir"] a suit of battle armour to replace her previous set which was destroyed on Kaeshana. That armour uses Phrik, but unlike Eyrecae’s set it is not as heavy duty and imposing, designed rather to protect against lightsabres and elemental forces.
Development Thread: YES. Phrik acquired here and here.
Manufacturer: Firemane Industries & Technology.
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Kaida Taldir, Silver Sanctum Coalition.
Modularity: No
Production: Unique
Material: Phrik armour plates, armourweave underlay, conductive earthing rods.
Classification: Anti-lightsabre, anti-environment, anti-blaster.
Weight: 10kg
Quality:
  • Overall: 7
  • Vs Lightsabres: 9. Only attacks to unprotected joints has any chance of penetration.
  • Vs Elemental/Environment: 9. The suit has earthing rods to dissipate electrical discharge, and is interior coated with heat retardant material and interior cooling to resist anything but the most extreme temperatures (over 1000 degrees). The suit also allows heating to resist extreme cold.
  • Vs Blasters: 7. The main plates are resistant to multiple impacts by infantry weapons. Damage to joints or heavy bolts is possible however.
  • Vs Shrapnel/Projectile: 8. The armour is extremely resistant to this with the exception of joints and other weak areas.
  • Vs Melee: 8. The Phrik plates are extremely resistant to damage, and the armourweave underlay is also difficult to penetrate.
  • Vs Impact/Crush: 6. The armour is somewhat padded, but has no particular features to reduce impact. The armour is very rigid, which can sometimes be a bad thing.
Special Features:
  • Almost immune to lightsabres (anywhere outside the joints and non-Phrik areas)
  • Designed to be highly resistant to elemental and environmental effects.
  • Features advanced HUD with inbuilt communicator, sensor suite and infrared/low light vision.
  • Backpack features 30 minutes air.
  • Boots can be magnetised.
  • Has an ARGH Jet Propulsion System attached.
  • Right forearm features a retractable durasteel blade 30cm long.
  • Gauntlets can be retracted to allow Kaida to use her cyromancy powers. This is not usually necessary, but is sometimes.
Description:
Phrik armour is a very useful thing, especially given its great strength and immunity to lightsabres. After having lost her armour in the Exodus of Kaeshana, Kaida Taldir required a new suit. Using Firemane acquired Phrik the suit was made to fit with her particular strengths and weaknesses.

Eldorai, by nature, are less strong and resilient than a human of the same age and fitness, so they must compensate by making do with less bulky armour. With this in mind, the armour is a reduced version of Eyrecae Alzari’s Phrik plate, less capable of stopping ranged weapons and protecting against impacts, but equally as strong against lightsabres.
As Kaida is a Sciian (Force user) whilst Eyrecae is not, there needed to be some changes to compensate for this. For a start, as Kaida is engaged more against elemental and environmental issues, the armour is designed to resist cold, heat and electricity very strongly. The one area which cannot be easily defended against is magnetic or gravetic forces, something which Kaida will have to be aware of. Whilst the Force can be manifested outside of the armour, in some cases it is necessary for Kaida to use her hands directly. For this reason the gauntlets can retract enough to show her palms.

Although the Phrik armour provides very good protection against ranged weapons it lacks the bulk and plate thickness of Eyrecae’s suit, making it slightly more vulnerable. Heavy blaster and explosive weapons are particularly dangerous in this situation. The smaller frame and reduced bulk also ensures that impacts are less padded. The suit’s greatest weakness is kinetic impacts such as telekinesis, falling or bludgeoning damage from hammers or heavy impacts.

The armour features a more advanced suite of accessories though as Kaida primarily is more of a ranged type rather than melee. The integrated HUD allows different vision modes, commlink and sensors to allow better communication. It also features a set of jet wings, magnetised boots and a better air tank for longer exposure in all conditions.

Overall, the armour is a strong set of unique Phrik plate, but not as extreme as others available. It allows greater mobility and protection against certain attacks, but weakened protection against other dangers.
Primary Source: Based on a similar suit made for Eyrecae Alzari also by myself.
