Description:
As a fighter against evil, Lilin found out, after numerous times of being engaged in a battle with Sith, that she would need a rather durable, yet not too restricting piece of clothing or armour around her. She researched a lot of different materials, but amongst all of them, she found glistaweb and greater calama shell parts would be the best for what she needed.
Getting glistaweb was not a huge deal as she already lives in One Sith territory and thus, managed to steal some of that with ease. But getting the greater calama shell was not as easy.
The girl had to team up with the only adventurer/scavenger she knew, Micah Talith, and go on an adventure where they'd hunt for the huge snails' shells. The trip was difficult and partly not even worth the risk, but Lilin was confident about her choice of material and decided to get the shell no matter what.
The armour she made turned out to be relatively simple in its build. It mostly acts as an additional layer around her body which would not protect her from most hits, especially those made with a lightsaber, but would be useful against blasters. The most of the armour is made of glistaweb with some decorations made of greater calama shell for additional durability, especially in her front upper body area where people have tried hit her with a lightsaber the most.
The armour has no special features besides the blaster-resistance and some extremely durable parts, meaning doesn't give her too much of an advantage in battle. It also limits the user's movement and maneuverability slightly.
Other than that, it is practically a part of clothing.
