OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The 'Nutriset' armor type is an olive-to-emerald warm green in appearance - the thinness of veshok wood allows durable protection against most kinetic and some energy weaponry, designed for prolonged but not constant combat. Its appearance gives the illusion of a fluid swirling just beneath the surface as the Chyme reservoir pools and streams around within the armor to regenerate and repair as necessary. The plates are large but semi-flexible, the membranes connecting the armor allowing for increased movement despite its weight. This armor type is considered 'medium' for Sylva Vitae, as its regenerative capabilities are complemented by its thicker armor and increased reservoir. For those accustomed to standard galaxy-wide medium armor, this material seems heavy by comparison, but its regenerative capability allows it to retain functionality well beyond the lifespan of standard armor types.
As an estimation, where standard 'medium armor' may weigh no more than 15-35 lbs, a similar armor set of Nutriset may weigh anywhere from 25-50 lbs.
- Intent: To craft an armor type, adapting current-gen Sylva Vitae biotech
- Image Source: N/A
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Sources: F. conexias, L. ferra, 'Waterthreads', 'Chyme', 'Slimfit' (all SWRPC)
- Manufacturer: Sylva Praesidia, through Sylva Vitae
- Affiliation: Jack Sandrow, Sylva Vitae and all subsidiaries
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: 'Nutriset' - Series: SPSV-J2.3.0
- Modularity: Yes
- Can be adapted to be body armor, vehicle armor, or starship armor
- Production: Limited
- Materials:
- Exterior armor platings are made of still-living L. ferra wood
- Connective tissues holding the armor plating together are comprised of F. conexias threads
- Regenerative and restorative nutrients are contained within a layer of Chyme that acts as a fluid layer within the armor
- Waterthreads act as 'smart' fluid, stiffening in response to physical stress to allow rapid energy dispersal, while still permitting freedom of movement
- Classification: Self-repairing multi-purpose medium armor
- Weight: Heavy
- Resistances:
- Energy: High
- Kinetic: Very High
- Lightsabers: None
- Sonic: High
- EMP/ION: High
- Elemental: High
- The regenerative properties of SV biotech extend to this armor as well - any damage can be repaired with enough time and nutrients. The built-in Chyme reservoirs allow limited regenerative capabilities in the field without any source of nutrients, enough to fully regenerate missing patches of armor.
- Self-repairing biotech, this armor can be shoved into the dirt to fix itself, and within an hour or two can be fully restored and repaired.
- Compatible with SV biotech
- Noticeable Force presence
- Nigh invisible to standard tech detection
- Naturally grown biotech is durable against EMP, ion, and sonic attacks
- The thicker armor allows for the use of Waterthreads, increasing Kinetic resistances
- Regenerative properties allow out of combat restoration of armor within minutes
- Full 100% regeneration takes a set time:
- 1% of armor integrity per minute
- Has a total of 250% of 'armor health' in reserve to repair
- Full 100% regeneration takes a set time:
- Compatibility with SV biotech makes it very useful for various configurations
- SV biotech has an unmistakable Force presence
- This armor is vulnerable to lightsabers, due to its organic design and lack of additional protection.
- Regenerative properties have a limit; starting at 100% integrity with 250% in reserve, once this is depleted, the armor cannot self-repair until it is replenished with a SV-compatible nutrient source
- Even as 'medium armor', the armor's weight is significantly above standard technology-based 'medium armor'.
