Special Features
  • Advanced combat helmet with military grade components and wide-ranging sensors including radar and sonar.
  • Full military communications suite, including HoloNet Access.
  • Advanced ECM / ECCM capabilities, tied into the Pyronium matrix.
  • Beskar armour plates w/ Pyronium crystal channels and weave connected to a fist sized Pyronium crystal which permit the suit to absorb a great deal of electromagnetic energy.
  • Acid neutralisation coating on all hard surfaces.
  • Hermetically sealed and environmentally strengthened against both hostile attacks and hostile environments.
  • Spidersilk / Armourweave bodysuit with integrated anti-sonic gel inserts.
  • Combination Repulsor / Jetpack for maximum mobility.
  • Grav-boots / Magno Grip Soles permit standing on a wide range of surfaces. And don't forget the retractable boot knives, for emergencies.
  • Mandalorian Vambraces w/ repulsor, grappling line, shield emitter, flamethrower, cyrothrower, net-launcher, flexwire launcher & particle (dust) launcher.
  • Integral Crushgauntlets
  • Shoulder hardpoints capable of mounting pistol-sized weaponry or micro-rocket launchers.
  • Four back hardpoints capable of storing rifle-sized weaponry, melee weapons or mounting additional hardpoint equipment.
Strengths
  • Reduced thickness Beskar plating offers High protection against lightsabers & plasma weaponry.
  • Pyronium Matrix partially absorbs all electromagnetic radiation, giving Very High protection against Electricity / EM Effects / EMP / Ion.
  • Layered Spidersilk / Armourweave bodysuit alongside integrated gel inserts gives High protection against kinetic damage.
  • Environmental sealing as well as energy transformation (converting heat / cold etc into EM energy) gives High elemental protection.
  • Fully sealed environmental protection provides Very High protection against toxins.
  • Advanced Repulsor / Jetpack permits good agility for a suit of this size.
  • Advanced ECM / ECCM capabilities, tied into the Pyronium matrix permits excellent stealth. The suit is not invisible or cloaked, but emits almost no radiation and is difficult to see visually, appearing blurry.
Weaknesses
  • Reduced thickness Beskar plating offers lower protection against lightsabers and plasma than normal.
  • Not completely armoured - the cost of being an excellent jack of all trades is that there are gaps in the suits main beskar protection, revealing the less armoured underlayers.
  • Weakspot: While layered under beskar, the Pyronium crystal can be targeted and if shattered, the consequences would be unfortunate for the wearer and anyone nearby.
  • Maximum capacity: No one, least of all Shia, wanted to know if a Pyronium crystal could be overloaded, so the matrix is programmed to shut down once the crystal reaches a pre-determined saturation point. Multiple different sources, or a single sustained source of damage will cause the matrix to shut down.
  • Emergency Medical Aid? What's that?! Many Mandalorian suits incorporate emergency bacta packs or the like, due to the intense engineering required to make the suit work, none could be fitted. Additionally, the suit is sealed and all encompassing, without any emergency patches or hatches, as it was determined these would be a weak spot. If you want to heal the occupant mundanely, you have to get them out first.
  • No Heavy Weapons Mounts: It's well worth pointing out that the suit is capable of mounting pistol sized and rifle sized weapons, there is neither power nor space for any of the traditional Mandalorian heavy weapons. Although the user can carry one in their hands, if needed. They just won't find anywhere to sling it.
Description

Shia Kryze first went to war in an antique relic designed to kill Jedi by overwhelming weight of firepower, not only did this prove impractical in actual conflictual situations in the modern galaxy, the heavyweight suit proved tiring, difficult to repair and weak to the numerous cunning ways various groups had determined was the best way to get themselves a nice T-Visored helmet on their trophy wall.

While other Mandalorians simply doubled down on their traditional strengths, Shia spent time watching the success of Koda Fett - who fought with such sheer unconventional style that he had to be admired and learned from. She also studied with the best of her 'enemies' to see how sonic or acidic weaponry worked, she was subjected to telekinetic blasts, bullets - but thankfully not Force Lightning (although she did check on it's conventional conductive properties).

From this, she developed the Shadow Owl suit. It couldn't be described as 'lightweight' - although it was fast and agile for its size, and much lighter than the majority of older Mandalorian armours. But with the integral power assist, she could make it do much of the acrobatics of a Force User, at least anywhere repuslors worked. It sacrificed much of the traditional protection of heavyweight beskar - although again, no one would describe it as 'lightly armoured' and using a complex pyronium matrix combined with advanced energy manipulation, it gained protection against fire, cold and numerous other elemental effects - never mind near-invsibility to EM radiation scanners and a complex light-blurring stealth effect that, while not a personal cloak, was good enough if the user was good enough.


Taking a leaf from MandalArms, she designed the suit to be modular - and it a gross breach with tradition, removed the wrist-rockets in favour of other dirty tricks, shifting their mounts (or any other weapon mounts) to the shoulders.

The end result is a suit that fits Shia's fighting style - including those pesky lightsabers - much better than her previous armour. It also fits with her ethos - she is the killer and the destroyer, not the technology she uses. The suit will keep her alive to deliver the kill, but it is not the means for the kill.
