Strengths:
- [+] Phrik Plating: The Phrik plating embedded throughout the reinforced Durasteel chain mail protects Carnifex from a multitude of ranged and energy-based attacks from slugthrowers to blasters to even a lightsaber.
- [+] Anti-EMP Equipment: The various meshes of conductive materials built within the armor protects Carnifex from electromagnetic attacks that would otherwise devastate the advanced electronics built into the armor.
- [-] Armor Gaps: While the embedded Phrik armor offers a protection from a wide ranged of ranged attacks, the gaps between the plating are susceptible to accurate lightsaber strikes.
- [-] Kinetic Energy: As said before the Phrik plating is capable of withstanding a lot of ranged punishment, but cannot prevent the transferal of kinetic energy from direct blunt strikes. It is also not impervious to overclocked lightsabers which are capable of burning through the otherwise lightsaber resistant material, a fatal flaw Carnifex personally learned at Dulvoyinn.
- [-] Over-encumbered: While the armor and all of its various components turn Carnifex into a walking tank of unquenchable destruction, he's not very maneuverable and is unable to perform acrobatics or any other complex form of movement.
Description: Originally termed the Tyrant's Armor, the newly christened Imperator's Raiment had served as the personal combat armor for the Sith Lord Darth Carnifex (formally Vornskr) for over a decade. The armor was refashioned from the elite armor of the Blackblade Guard's progenitor organization, HYDRA, after the fall of the Old Empire, the black plates melted down in the forges of Vain Hollow and reshaped by Carnifex himself upon an anvil stained with sacrificial blood. Carnifex took design inspiration for the armor from the ancient tomes of the long dead red-skinned Sith of Korriban, fashioned a pair of devilish horns onto the helmet intricately woven with the most advanced electronic equipment available to the Sith Lord at the time.
The Tyrant Armor would have its first taste of blood during the One Sith uprising on the Republican capital of Coruscant, and was at first nearly destroyed by Jedi Grandmaster Kiskla Grayson during the ensuing battle. Carnifex re-assembled the suit of armor and went on to wear it for nearly every battle of the War that blossomed between the new Sith state and the decadent Republic they vehemently sought to annihilate. The Tyrant Armor would be bathed in the blood of thousands, perhaps millions, over the course of a solid decade as Carnifex trudged across countless battlefields, putting everyone who was arrayed against him and the Empire to the sword.
However; the armor wasn't as invincible as Carnifex previously believed, and it was during the disastrous Battle of Dulvoyinn that the Sith Lord suffered a near fatal wound at the hands of Jedi Master Ryan Korr. Korr had overclocked the crystal array on his saber staff, pushing the blade's cutting power to dangerous new heights, and used it to impale the Sith Lord's abdomen despite the phrik plating that covered it. The blade slowly melted the armor enough to slip through and skewer the Sith Lord's gut, the chain mail and armorweave bodyglove offering no protection to the blow.
Carnifex survived the encounter armed with the knowledge to never allow his hubris to cloud his judgement in the heat of battle, no matter how impervious his armor may be. In the aftermath of the battle he abandoned the One Sith to its fate, and retired to his palace on Panatha. There he repaired the damage dealt by Master Korr, restoring it to peak condition through the mastery he wielded over hammer and anvil. With the rise of the Black Empire with himself at its head, the newly named Imperator's Raiment was destined to once again be bathed in heretic blood.

While the original submission did detail electronics built into the armor, it didn't go into enough in-depth detail about everything. ICly the armor shared practically every equipment utilized in this submission, and looking back the original sub didn't have the amount of detail I feel it should've had.
