SPECIAL FEATURES

• The Phantom's bottom layer protects against environmental effects, ensuring the wearer stays temperate even in inclement weather conditions.
• The Phantom's top layer of Susurra-weave and a reflec coating helps dampen sound and warp both light and sensor scans away from the armour

STRENGTHS

• A Subtle Method: The outermost layer is extremely useful to its users in situations where stealth and infiltration are necessary, dampening sound and frustrating sensors from picking up this armour's presence.
• A Fair Defence: The Phantom is capable of deflecting several bolts from blasters, slugthrowers or ion weaponry before it's integrity would be compromised, allowing its user time to seek cover.

WEAKNESSES

• Not Quite Enough: While the Phantom boasts decent resistances against the most common forms of weaponry found on a battlefield, it is not true armour and thus its user will require extra layers of protection if they wish to stand a fighting chance.
• Damn Laser Swords: The Phantom provides virtually no defence against lightsabers.

DESCRIPTION
The Phantom was a simple adaptation of the common bodyglove, modified to provide some form of protection for the soldiers of STRIDER Company but that also allowed them the same freedom of movement as one would have in light armour. Necessary also were the stealth enhancements to aid STRIDER in its inflitration missions, as well as a means of ensuring the Company's troopers could operate comfortably in most environments despite the heat or cold that may otherwise hamper their talents. The bodyglove, in conjunction with a pressurised helmet, can be sealed against the vacuum of space.
