- Force Imbued: Armor carries subtle Force enhancements to bolster endurance and resilience.
- Pain-Reactive Shielding: The armor amplifies its physical and Force-based defenses when the wearer is injured or experiencing emotional torment.
- EMP Vulnerability: The armor's systems are minimally shielded from ion or EMP discharges.
- Weight and Bulk: Heavyweight armor slows the wearer; unsuitable for stealth or extended acrobatics.
- Force Signature: Due to Sith Alchemy and ritual markings, it radiates a dark side presence — easily tracked by trained Force sensitives.
- Symbolic Bindings: Armor cannot be removed or replaced casually; dishonor or destruction of it is seen as a mark of shame among the Iron Howlers.
- Force Null: When in force nullification zones or abilities, the armor loses its ability to regenerate and empower its user via force embuement.
Forged in the blood-furnaces of the Iron Maw and quenched in the molten springs of Fangol, the armor of the Iron Howlers is more than protection — it is a symbol of unrelenting dominion. Crafted by Iron-Artificers who blend Sith alchemy with ancient martial traditions, each suit is custom-built to reflect the soul of its bearer. The wolf-helmed visage and deathly totems evoke the terror of the pack's advance, while the breastplate — etched with the eight-spoked Iron Wheel and crowned by a wolf skull — marks each Howler as a sacred enforcer of the Chapter's ancient code and service to the Eternal Flame.
These suits are rarely removed. Each one is blessed during a rite of Pack Communion and anointed during the Howl of the Pack, making them spiritually and psychologically entwined with their wearer. Though the armor is a terror on the battlefield, it is also a badge of elite heritage — an heirloom passed only to those who survive the Trial of the Pack.
