- Armor base is a composite Armorweave with included portions of Zersium, FM-003 threading for thermal dispersion, FM-001 threading for some Ion based protections around the nanites, and thinsuit technologies to ensure that an air tight seal is possible. This allows for a solid base of environmental protections while operating under a variety of environments for the operator.
- Luft Class Life Support System is compatible with this suit, and there is an easy connect/disconnect system for this suit to have this module added or removed aboard. Comes standard with the suit and when used in combination of a sealing helmet/breath mask allows for near unlimited breath time in space and compromised environments.
- Onboard Isotope-5A micro-reactor means this suit will be constantly charging the nanites and never have to worry about power issues. This is due to the style of reactor and power output being low enough that you won't have to change it out in your lifetime.
- Armor plates consist of small Phrik-A microplates arranged in patterns to not restrict movement or otherwise be noticeable should the operator decide to wear this armor/body glove underneath most forms of slightly baggy clothing. This makes this armor well suited for everyday personal protection wear and stealth operations as the operator can configure this system to cover as much or as little as necessary, even being able to drop the armor plates to decrease chances of armor detection and mobility. This however will take away the armor's ability offer any resistance to lightsabers. (IE - will drop the Lightsabers rating to none, and also bring the weight to Weightless).
- Main feature of this armor is the nanites contained in strategic reserves around the armor and in the armor plates. Upon a shifter naturally attempting to shift into a more animalistic form, this armor will immediately recognize the biological change taking place and actually adjust the armor around them seamlessly. This is done through strategic reserves of Nanites working in tandem to not only reweave the armor on the fly as the change is taking place, but also rearranging the size and shape of the Phrik-A plating. This is done by emitting a specific sonic frequency from specialized Nanites containing harmonic oscillators to liquify the crystalline solid that holds each group of micro Phrik-A plates together, allowing them to be rearranged in such a way to still provide the best protection it can while also not restricting movement or otherwise impeding the user. And while this can be detected using Sonic detection equipment, the sound itself cannot be replicated with simple noise, requiring technologies like Sonic Weapons and Sonic Grenades to force the plates to come apart when not under the influence of the nanites. The wearer of this suit will notice a slight vibration during each shift as the sound itself is not audible and is of the frequency that it is felt rather than heard.
- Even for shifters that gain significant mass and size this armor will still accommodate them as it will simply either thin the material to a certain point or, if it gets to be too thin in areas, will retract itself creating holes in the suit for appendages such as tails, wings, paws. This starts at the extremities and works its way inward, but can be also configured by the operator to have a custom coverage of protection and fit when shifted.
- Only requires basic tooling and instruction to remove armor plates from the suit, and when the plates the operator doesn't need to worry about their specific nanites as they are contained within the Phrik-A micro-plate clusters.
- Features a BMCS throughout the suit to monitor vitals, and most importantly to be able to tell when the operator is attempting to shift into an animal form.
- Armor designed for a specific group in mind: This armor is designed to complement shifters unique physical and biological needs. Most shifters are forced to used either specially crafted armor using space magic and/or natural materials so that they don't have to worry about losing the stuff when they shift or worse, damaging/destroying it. This product is the experimental version of a future line of products intended to fix that problem, offering shifters everywhere the chance to have their cake and eat it too.
- Extra light: This armor is light enough to worn under most clothing, especially if you take off the armor plates across it. This makes it a viable option for everyday use, and its construction even allows for regular cleaning such as machine wash and drying. This is possible due to the nanites in the clothing being built to maintain its fit over the wearer in a flexible, yet durable body glove that is capable of keeping up with even the most agile and athletic operators. To put it simply, it won't tear, rip, or otherwise sag at all from you trying to push it, stretch it or wear it out, guaranteed.
- Thinsuit technology: This suit contains various thinsuit technologies that allow it to double as a light enviro-suit when necessary, even being rated for space walks. You'll need a helmet to go with it however, but we see that as giving you the opportunity to choose exactly what helmet you like because let's be honest, when you have options you're gonna be much happier.
- Sonic Weapons: This suit's armor plates are especially vulnerable to sonic based weapons, not in that it'll break the plates so much as it will compromise their structural integrity. Case in point the main reason the Phrik-A plate clusters work well against blasters, ballistic weapons and even glancing blows from lightsabers is because they are held together and respond to the threat as though it was a solid plate. When exposed to sonic weaponry however this changes, the overall shape of the plates will warp and the liquid crystal won't be able to hold the plates together as one. This is especially dangerous against lightsabers or heavy kinetic weapons as where before the plate would respond to the threat as a whole, lightsabers would essentially cause the plate to liquify and fall apart. Or against Kinetic/Blaster weapons can cause the plate to essentially shatter.
- Lightsabers vs Fabric: Do I even really need to explain this? The only piece of this suit resistant to lightsabers are the various plates on the body. Everything else that laser sword will go through like a hot knife through butter. So best to keep your distance.
- Radiation: Due to the construction of this suit, and the varying thicknesses that could be present, this suit couldn't be designed to deal with extremes in radiation. This is mainly due to the fact that radiation protections require much thicker fabrics that are more dense and able to absorb that constant of energy over a longer period of time. This is not conducive to a suit designed to shift around the wearer at will and as such this was scrapped. Recommend that operators wear a radiation suit if this is going to be a problem.
- Ion weapons prevent the suit from shifting: Another material that had to be used sparingly was FM-001, a protective measure against EMP/Ion weapons. This is due to the strands of FM-001 being more difficult to deal with than standard fabrics, with its artificial Ionite included in the construction. This means that if this suit gets hit with a heavy/high power Ion/EMP weapon it will be stuck in whatever shape it was when hit. We at Freebirds Industries are still working on a solution to this problem.
While some would consider them a market best left alone, the various species of shifters throughout the galaxy have been something of a curiosity to those in the R&D divisions of Freebirds Industries. Namely, that they present the unique problem of how to design clothes and armor for them that adapts to their various needs when shifting to and from animal forms. This problem, has been something that has been put up on a list of things for the various scientists at FI to try to come up with a solve for. The answer might surprise you.
Nanomachines.
Specifically the use of specialized and easily constructed nanomachines. These nanites are built with particular purposes in mind, making their manufacture much easier than more general purpose nanites allowing for their cost to be much lower. And because they are specialized and allow for the suit to adjust on the fly to its various size, weight and strength requirements of the operator, this will make each individual suit able to fit to and adapt with the operator as they go about their day. This means that whether you are on a Sunday stroll through the city, a run through the woods in a wolf form, or in the middle of a battlefield, you can count on this armor to not only keep pace, but keep you unimpeded. And with the system itself being able to respond naturally to what its operator is doing, there is no extra steps involved, making the use of this armor ridiculously easy. So worry no more about being restricted to certain materials, having to find a buddy who knows space magic, or otherwise being stuck with subpar clothing and armor that simply doesn't conform to the lifestyle of a shifter. Be wild and free, and don't let anything hold you back.
