2x Energy Sink: A component designed to adsorb blaster energy. - 2x Combat De-ionizer: A device that counteracts the effects of ionic energy
[*]Shoulder Pauuldrons
[*]Forearm Datapad
[*]Rebreather
[*]Breathing Systems:
- Environmental Filter: A device that removes harmful gases, such as poisons, and fumes from the air.
- Oxygen Filtration System: A device that removes solid particles, such as dust, pollen, mould, and bacteria from the air.
- Oxygen Supply: A storage vessel that holds one-hundred and twenty (120) minutes of oxygen.
[*]Retractable Helmet or Standalone Visor
- Audio/Video Systems
- Squire Interface
- Annunciator: A sound amplification device.
- Broadband Antenna: A device which allows the user to pick up noises and sounds, on different broadband frequencies from far distances.
- Sonic Dampeners: A device which limits the amount of sound that can reach the user's inner-ear.
- Anti-flash Visor: A visor that protects the user's eyes from bright flashes, such as those emitted by flash bangs.
- Heads-Up Display: A transparent display that presents data, without requiring the user to look away from their viewpoint.
- Rangefinder: A device that zooms in on distant targets, and displays visual data of the target observed.
- Vision Technologies: The visor may cycle through the following visions:
Standard Vision - Infrared Vision
- Night Vision
- Thermal Vision
- Ultraviolet Vision
Strengths:
- Adaptable: The Iron Legionnaire Armor Kit was developed from the ground up to provide protection from the harsh elements of worlds like Csilla as well as the cruel realities of war. With the ability to be swapped out for other pieces of armor on a minutes notice, this armor Kit's modularity is one of its biggest strengths.
- Art of Movement: The armor allows for ease of movement which is important for Force Users of the Iron Legion
- Top Notch Protection: The Iron Legionnaire Armor Kit provides excellent protection from common small arms fire like blasters and slugthrowers
- Destructible: While the armor itself provides excellent protection for the wearer, the armor itself does not last long in fights. Armor frequently needs to be replaced and can sometimes even begin to fail in combat
- Limited Area of Protection: Even when kitted out to the full 12kgs, the Iron legionnaire Armor Kit still leaves large areas of the body exposed such as the legs, elbows, and sometimes even the head.
- EMP: While the armor supports localized resistance from Ion weaponry, large scale EMPs and Ion weaponry that outputs a higher charge than the armor's Faraday cage can handle can cause various systems within the armor to fail. (EMP, Heavy Ion turrets, Ion-based artillery, ship mounted Ion weapons)
The Iron Legionnaire Armor Kit was designed as a supplement to the standard Legionnaire Field Kit. Constructed from several armor pieces and headsets, no one set is truly alike despite its uniformity in color and similarity in usage. The armor is worn by the Iron Legions Centurions and Legates. Designed with the fluid movement of a Force user in mind, full body armor was dropped as an idea early in the planning stages. Instead, it would be up to the individual how they wished to protect themselves. Would they wear a full set of armor or would they opt for a chest piece and a pair of shin guards? That decision was ultimately left up to the individual.
Made of plastoid, it is obvious just based on its appearance that it was designed to fight non-force users. Its bodyglove underneath the armor served to disperse the energy of a blasterbolt while the plastoid armor protected the wearer's most vital areas from the likes of shrapnel and common slugthrowers used by the pirates in the region. Despite this impressive protection, the modularity of the armor meant that cheaper construction methods were necessary in order to keep costs low on the constantly rotating armor. As a result the armor's powercells often needed replacement and even the armor itself often needed to be thrown out and recycled for later use due to damage. Despite its drawbacks the armor sees continued use in the field by members of the Iron Legion.
