STRENGTHS
  • Layered Defence:
    The combined defense of the Ionite A and Phrik B that are used in this armour provide an impressive frontal defense against many of the galaxie' threats. Paired with a C.R.O.S.S. the Kestral is a potent armour that any private soldier or mercenary would be proud to wear. The plates are incredibly resistant to acid, heat, water and other environmental factors.
  • Sealed Unit:
    When the helmet is donned the Kestrel seals hermetically, protecting the suit from even sub-molecular intrusion from the outside for up to 12 hours on the suits reserve oxygen. Additionally, when the H.U.D. detects its surrounded by an oxygen rich atmosphere it will begin to 2 stage cycle oxygen to replenish its reserves without breaking its seal.
  • Jetpack and Repulsars:
    The unit comes with a detachable Jetpack which can be used for bursts of short distance flight. Maneuvering repulsars or oxygen vents allow for controlled point maneuvering or landing in space.
  • Reinforced Performance:
    The armour has Prik-B plating running through it like an exoskeleton. While it would technically be considered powered, its much subtler and smaller in scale simply reinforcing the user's own statistics, making them a little stronger and faster overall while allowing the user to not tire so quickly, all except for the armour's integration of shuk'orok in their gauntlets.
  • Modular:
    Almost any additional part of this armour is able to be augmented or replaced with mag locked connections that integrate it into the suit and its H.U.D. The armour sports slots on each wrist, shoulder, on the back (tyically for the pack), hips and thighs. While also sporting a tactical uniform which comes with storage compartments, holsters and pockets.
WEAKNESSES
  • Vulnerable Locations:
    The Kestrel comes with its own issues, the armour is only garded by a mesh as opposed to hard plates over many of its joints except the neck, which remains heavily armoured. Making debilitating shots to the insides of the elbows, underarms and knees and achilles area particularly hard hitting.
  • Power Reliant:
    Many of this armour's systems rely on a power source which is capable of running out, heavy use of its systems, especially its shield will result in the armour running out of power unless backups are installed.
DESCRIPTION
The Kestral is a multi purpose all terrain armour system developed by the Quartermaster's guild at House Aquila. The system was designed for the Avery; House Aquilas personal private security company to wear, though in recent years, a non-marked variant of the armour has been available for restricted private sale within the CIS. Since its sale it has become more public and interest in the goods of House Aquila grew, they wanted the world to be able to get a taste of what the Ryloth based company had to offer the world when it came to high quality defensive goods.

The Medium armour is advertised as effective in any location, its sealed structure and heavy environmental protections would make it apt to be usable in almost any hostile area, from deep sea to space. So long as the person in question was not thrown into magmaflow, the likelihood that they would survive would be rather high... Unfortunately for the B1 droids who had to test these units in magmaflow while impressive, the defensive systems within it are not perfect. Finally with magnetic links on the units hands and feet, the Kestral is perfect for operating in zero gravity, with an integrated compressed oxygen supply of 12 hours which replenishes when the suit detects oxygen.

The system was made with modularity in mind, knowing that there are a host of different purposes out there in the galaxy, the armour is very much customizable, the magnetic lock sockets for other equipment uses standardized ports rather than ports unique to House Aquila, meaning that they are able to be traded out at a whim. Want to trade the backpack for a high velocity Mandal Motors unit? Sure! Cycle between wrist mounted vibroblades and flamethrowers? We expect nothing less!

Finally the armour uses House Aquilas patented reactive shield technology capable of producing a monodirectional shield at a moments notice which is perfect for taking singular massive hits such as damage from grenades, other explosives and high impact or energy rounds.
