Strengths:
- Beskar: One of the strongest materials known to man, beskar easily disperses heat, force, and energy of most blaster bolts and even lightsabers with ease.
- Micronized: An advancement of the C.R.I.T. the Micronized Beskar'gam can be deployed and covertly carried on a person and activated, encasing them in bonafide beskar'gam offering all the benefits of the advanced HUD and battle computers commonly seen in the armors.
- Encased: Unlike more traditional suits of beskar'gam, the suit produced by this unique device covered the entirety of the user in flexible flexisteel and beskar, preventing some of the common pitfalls found in traditional armor.
- Ion Weapons and EMP: An EMP will shut down suit systems such as the repulsor, HUD, Battle Computer, etc, leaving the user in essentially a beskar shell. If the armor isn't deployed when hit with EMP or Ion weapons then the armor won't be able to be activated and equipped until it is fixed.
- Stun Weapons: One of the many mysteries of the galaxy is how they make Stun Blasters so damn effective. They ALWAYS seem to work unless one was using some sort of energy shield.
- Electricity: The micromachines used to move the micronized beskar into place are highly conductive which made electricity and other arc-based weapons incredibly effective at frying the user from the inside out.
- Repulsor: Repulsors can't be used in the vacuum of space.
- Sonic: Almost no resistance to sonic weapons, hard or otherwise
- Solar Ionization: The intense heat build-up from one of these weapons can eventually even melt through beskar
- Unreliable: Sustaining damage from electricity sources or EMP weapons without properly having it repaired can lead to the armor not deploying. The armor is also still a prototype, which means that sometimes the armor doesn't deploy on first, second, or even third tap.
- Not Instantaneous: It took two minutes for the armor to fully deploy. Sometimes more [See unreliable]
Developed by Zeke Farthen aboard his personal ship, Micronized Beskar'gam was the natural evolution of MandalMotors armor development that started with the Legacy System Beskar'gam several years back. Designed for covert operations by Ori'ramikade the armor utilized a combination of ancient micronization techniques used in crushguants and new developments in the field of nanotechnology. Concealed in a small device that attached to the wearer's bodyglove, bodyglove, or flightsuit, the user would tap the device once to have the armor deploy. It took the armor several minutes to deploy fully, but once done it worked just as any other suit of beskar'gam would. The armor was incredibly intuitive to use and peeling back parts of the armor such as the gauntlets or helmet was mostly a non-issue. Due to its status as a prototype and the first armor of its kind made by MandalMotors, sometimes parts didn't reform and required a full reset. Speaking on the unreliablity of the armor, it also often took more than one try to have the armor deploy fully and sometimes the armor just failed to function properly. It was for these reasons that Zeke never took the armor to board members for approval of development and sale. He did however give a suit to Gilamar Skirata and a few of his close friends and allies.
Micronized was lighter than most suits due to the micronization of the beskar though which meant that it didn't stop the kinetic force of most kinetic weapons nearly as well as true beskar'gam did. It also lacked the ability to be customized at all as the technology was too experimental and proprietary to MandalMotors to change anything other than the color settings of the armor which could be changed on the fly. Outside of these flaws however, when the armor worked, it worked well enough and despite its restrictions the few people that used the armor saw it as a nice insurance policy should things go awry at their next dinner conference.
