  • Project VESPER
• Market Status:
  Closed-Market
• Model:
  Revenant-Class Adaptive Stealth Suit
• Modularity:
  No
• Production:
  Semi Unique
• Material:
  
  • Reactive Photonic Mesh:
    A proprietary Abyssus-developed composite, this is a light-manipulating synthetic fabric capable of refracting and diffusing ambient light across its surface. Functionally similar to active camouflage, it renders the suit translucent or fully blended when submerged in water or mist environments. The mesh reacts dynamically to bioluminescent surroundings, shadows, and artificial light sources. While it does not provide full optical invisibility on land, it drastically reduces visual and thermal visibility in aquatic conditions.
  • Reflec-Treated Durafiber Weave:
    Reflec is a material known to scatter or absorb various wavelengths of electromagnetic energy, particularly radar, LIDAR, and IR signatures. Integrated into a flexible durafiber weave, this layer lines the outermost shell of the Revenant suit and assists in making the wearer practically invisible to sensor sweeps, active sonar, and thermal imaging systems. It also adds minimal resistance to abrasion and minor puncture threats.
  • Synthmesh Underlay with Osmotic Rebreather Membranes:
    The interior of the suit is a self-sealing, ultra-light pressure-regulating fabric known as synthmesh. Embedded with micro-porous osmotic membranes, it filters dissolved oxygen from the water around the user—providing breathable air in conjunction with a micro-lung rebreather system. This allows long-duration dives without conventional air tanks, ideal for stealth insertions or protracted exploration of submerged ruins.
  • Bio-Neural Interface Gel Layer:
    Sandwiched between the inner suit and the operator's skin is a thin semi-liquid gel layer laced with bio-responsive neural filaments. These fibers link the user's motor signals to the suit's onboard systems, allowing gesture- and impulse-based control over HUD navigation, stealth toggles, and propulsion adjustments. The gel also serves as a thermal buffer and helps equalize the body's core temperature in extreme cold.
  • Polyphase Power Cells (Radiation-Shielded):
    Compact high-density power cells encased in rad-shielded polymer are distributed along the lower back and thighs of the suit. These cells provide operational power for the photonic mesh, rebreather, and HUD systems, with enough capacity for 18–20 hours of continuous use. Emergency shutoff fuses are present to prevent catastrophic overload or tracking via energy signature.
  • MagSeal Polymeric Joints:
    To preserve stealth and mobility, the suit uses frictionless MagSeal joint systems at elbows, knees, and wrists. These are magnetic polymer seals that allow smooth articulation without noisy servos or mechanical hiss, while maintaining full hydrodynamic integrity under pressure. They also act as barrier points against hostile biofluids or pressurized toxins.
  • Osmotic Carbon-Black Undersuit Layer:
    Beneath the synthmesh is a final skin-contact layer composed of carbon-black nanoweave. This layer absorbs trace electrical and biological emissions, muting the user's presence to Force-sensitive creatures or bio-detection scanners. Though thin, it acts as the last line of environmental protection against parasitic microorganisms and deep-sea acid bacteria.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification:
  Multipurpose (Stealth / Combat / Environmental Protection)
  The Revenant-Class suit is designed to support underwater reconnaissance, infiltration, artifact retrieval, and assassination missions in high-risk, low-visibility oceanic environments. While it offers limited traditional armor protection, its strength lies in sensor evasion, adaptability, and survival in extreme conditions.
• Weight:
  Light
  The suit maintains a low mass to support silent movement, hydrodynamic agility, and prolonged operational deployment. It sacrifices significant plating or armor in favor of maneuverability and stealth efficiency.
• Resistances:
  
  • Energy (Blasters, Plasma): Average
    The outer layer of Reflec-treated durafiber offers modest defense against glancing blaster fire, but the suit is not built for prolonged firefights. The design relies more on avoidance than absorption.
  • Kinetic (Bullets, Melee Blows): Low
    The flexible materials offer limited protection against physical impacts or projectiles. While the internal layers absorb some shock, anything beyond light strikes may pierce the outer shell.
  • Lightsabers: Very Low
    The suit offers negligible resistance to lightsaber strikes. Any direct contact is likely to breach or destroy the material. Revenant operatives are trained to avoid close-quarters saber duels entirely.
  • Sonic: Low
    The curved geometry of the suit's surface helps to partially deflect or muffle sonic weapon waves, but it remains vulnerable to high-intensity sonic discharges, especially in enclosed or reverberant underwater environments.
  • EMP/Ion: Average
    Most systems in the suit are hardened or physically isolated with analog backups, reducing vulnerability to short-term EMP/ion blasts. However, prolonged exposure or direct hits may still disable critical electronics like HUD overlays or propulsion.
  • Elemental (Cold, Pressure): High
    Revenant suits are rated for deep-sea operations up to depths exceeding 8,000 meters. The layered insulation and bio-gel buffer maintain core temperature and resist pressure collapse, enabling operatives to survive abyssal conditions with ease.
  • Biological/Chemical: Average
    Fully sealed with reactive pressure locks and membrane filters, the suit provides moderate defense against waterborne pathogens, ancient plagues, or submerged biohazards often found in Sith ruins or crashed vessels.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Adaptive Photonic Camouflage Layer:
  The outermost reactive mesh incorporates photonic crystals and variable-pigment nano-scales that actively bend light around the wearer, mimicking the ambient environment in real-time. While not rendering the user completely invisible, it drastically reduces their profile in both the visual and infrared spectrums—especially effective in aquatic environments where refracted light is chaotic and layered.
• Reflec-Based Sensor Diffusion Coating:
  The suit's surface is treated with Reflec compound integrated into its composite weave. This material scatters incoming radar, lidar, and sonar pulses, disrupting both active and passive scans. It enables Revenant operatives to pass through perimeter detection grids or avoid target acquisition in sensor-heavy environments.
• Sonar-Dampening Surface Geometry:
  The entire suit—especially the chest, limbs, and helmet—is shaped with gently curved, non-parallel ridges that scatter sonar waves at oblique angles. Combined with vibration-nullifying materials in the suit's structure, this significantly reduces the acoustic signature generated by movement underwater.
• Integrated Osmotic Rebreather System:
  Embedded in the abdominal cavity and spine is a micro-lung oxygen processor that extracts breathable air from dissolved gases in the surrounding water. This allows the user to remain submerged for up to 12 continuous hours without the need for external tanks or detectable exhaust ports.
• Neural Impulse Control Interface (NICI):
  The inner gel layer of the suit is lined with bio-reactive fibers that read subtle neural and muscular impulses from the user's body. This allows for intuitive control of suit systems—HUD navigation, camouflage activation, propulsion regulation—without verbal command or physical buttons, ensuring total silence.
• Magnetic Sole Treads:
  The suit's boots contain polar-aligned electromagnets that allow the wearer to adhere to metal surfaces underwater or in zero-gravity environments, such as submerged vessels or derelict stations. These treads can be toggled off to maintain stealth, and their power draw is minimal.
• Silent Jet-Assisted Movement Nodes:
  Compact, adjustable micro-thrusters embedded in the calves and lower back provide low-noise directional movement in water. They allow for silent gliding across ocean floors, ascent through vertical shafts, or quick evasive maneuvers in narrow wreck corridors. The system balances thrust-to-stealth with passive buoyancy adjustments to ensure minimal water displacement.
• Tactical Display HUD:
  Displayed directly across the interior of the helmet's visor, the HUD provides multi-spectral vision modes (infrared, thermal, sonar overlay, magnetic fields), oxygen reserves, proximity warnings, and mission-linked navigation data. The HUD also interfaces with remote drones or uplinked Sith-Imperial relay buoys where available.
• Auto-Administering Combat Stimulant Injector:
  A last-resort internal system that monitors vitals and injects the user with a tailored cocktail of painkillers, coagulants, and adrenaline in the event of life-threatening trauma, drowning, or unconsciousness. It does not revive, but it may give just enough time to escape or complete an objective before collapse.
• Biometric Lockout System:
  Every Revenant suit is keyed to its user's unique biological signature. If unauthorized personnel attempt to wear or tamper with the armor, the suit initiates a hard shutdown, sealing its functions and scrambling onboard systems. In extreme cases, a latent kill-switch can self-destruct mission-critical components to prevent reverse engineering.
• Encrypted Short-Range Transceiver (Burst Mode):
  For emergency contact or data relay, the suit contains a tightly shielded comms unit that transmits compressed data or tight-beam voice in burst packets. It's optimized for line-of-sight, low-bandwidth communication between squadmates or base relays without giving away location through continuous signal bleed.

STRENGTHS

• Near-Invisibility in Aquatic Environments:
  The Revenant's reactive photonic mesh and Reflec-treated surface enable it to bend light, scatter heat, and diffuse sonar in such a way that the wearer becomes nearly imperceptible in murky, turbulent, or bioluminescent water environments. This is not true optical cloaking, but against both organic and technological surveillance, the suit renders the operative as little more than a ghostly shimmer. Combined with acoustic stealth measures, it allows for undetected approach, sabotage, or assassination in high-security marine zones.
• Environmentally Hardened for Deep-Sea Survival:
  Capable of withstanding depths exceeding 8,000 meters, the suit resists the crushing pressures of ocean trenches and flooded vaults with a reinforced synthmesh and internal gel matrix that stabilizes pressure on the operator's body. It is equally capable of functioning in near-freezing temperatures, contaminated water, and oxygen-depleted environments. The suit's osmotic rebreather allows for long-duration missions where standard SCUBA or exosuits would fail.
• Silent Mobility and Magnetic Maneuvering:
  The Revenant suit is designed with pure infiltration in mind—no servos, no clunky propulsion systems. Its silent jet nodes and magnetic treads enable the user to move along hulls, ceilings, and abyssal walls without disturbing sediment or alerting sonar systems. Even rapid movement generates minimal wake thanks to its hydrodynamic body shaping and active thrust calibration. This makes the suit ideal for operations involving stealth insertion, submerged station infiltration, or silent kill missions.
• Neural Integration and Interface Control:
  The suit's bio-neural interface allows operators to engage suit systems with thought-speed precision. There's no need to physically manipulate toggles or controls—users simply think to engage propulsion, alter camouflage, or switch HUD overlays. This minimizes reaction time, maximizes subtlety, and preserves operational focus. For operatives trained in Force suppression or artifact retrieval, this neural precision is invaluable when navigating cursed or psychically volatile ruins.
• Highly Specialized Sensor Evasion:
  Most armors are designed to resist blasters or sabers. The Revenant is instead engineered to avoid being targeted entirely. It excels in reducing detection from a wide array of hostile systems: sonar, lidar, IR tracking, lifeform scanners, and motion sensors. Whether bypassing automated defense grids, patrolling sea-droids, or predatory marine fauna keyed to energy signatures, the Revenant's electronic and environmental signature is practically non-existent.
• Combat Triage Automation:
  In the event of trauma or environmental breach, the suit's internal medical systems will auto-deploy a cocktail of stims, clotting agents, and breath-stabilizers. This buys critical seconds—even minutes—for an agent to escape, finish a task, or reach evac. Combined with its self-regulating oxygen supply and temperature buffering, the suit increases survivability in missions where extraction is not guaranteed.

WEAKNESSES

• Minimal Physical Protection:
  The Revenant is not traditional armor—it is an infiltration suit. To maintain its light weight, silent operation, and fluid movement, it sacrifices almost all plating and reinforcement. While the outer layers can deflect glancing energy or projectile strikes, direct hits from blasters, slugthrowers, or even a firm vibroblade thrust can puncture or breach the suit. In combat, the wearer's only real defense is evasion and misdirection.
• Extremely Vulnerable to Lightsabers and Alchemical Weapons:
  The suit's materials—while technologically advanced—offer virtually no defense against lightsabers or Sith alchemical weaponry. Any contact with such weapons will cut clean through the armor, posing an instant and often lethal threat. The Revenant is a ghost in the deep, not a duelist on the field.
• Specialist-Only Operation:
  The Revenant is a precision tool, requiring intense neural calibration, suit-link training, and deepwater adaptation conditioning. Even a capable operative will experience sensory overload, spatial disorientation, or catastrophic failure if not trained in its interface systems and movement dynamics. It cannot be safely or effectively operated by unqualified personnel.
• Limited Operational Loadout:
  Due to its stealth focus and environmental balancing, the suit cannot carry heavy gear, large weapons, or bulky artifacts. Operatives are restricted to compact sidearms, knives, dataspikes, and small relics. Attempting to carry excess equipment can throw off buoyancy, compromise propulsion efficiency, or disrupt the camouflage field.
• Power Cell Dependency and Duration Constraints:
  The advanced systems—photonic camouflage, neural interface, silent propulsion—draw considerable power over time. While the suit is capable of extended deployment (up to 18–20 hours), once the polyphase power cells begin to drain, stealth functions degrade quickly. If the mission extends beyond projected limits, the user may be left with only basic survival systems and zero evasion capability.
• Susceptibility to Prolonged EMP/Ion Exposure:
  While the Revenant is hardened against brief EMP/ion bursts, prolonged exposure or concentrated ion attacks (e.g., underwater ion torpedoes, area-denial mines) can overwhelm its redundancy circuits. Loss of power mid-dive can mean total blackout—no propulsion, no rebreather, no HUD—leaving the operator blind, deaf, and floating.
• Extreme Environmental Isolation:
  Though it protects the body, the Revenant completely isolates the user from outside sound and touch, creating a psychological detachment that can induce sensory deprivation, especially in dark or silent oceanic ruins. Prolonged missions have been known to cause hallucinations, time dilation perception, or dissociative fatigue.
• Catastrophic Breach Risk:
  A puncture at extreme depth—especially to the chest or helmet—can result in immediate pressure collapse or flooding. The suit's emergency seals can auto-lock small breaches, but multiple hits or wide tears will render the suit terminal in seconds, drowning or crushing the operator before rescue is possible.

DESCRIPTION

The Revenant-Class Adaptive Stealth Suit is not armor in the conventional sense—it is a calculated expression of disappearance. Engineered by Abyssus, the aquatic warfare and recovery division of VesperWorks, the Revenant is the culmination of years of experimentation in bio-reactive materials, sensor evasion, and pressure-adaptive survival systems. It is designed for one purpose: to make the user vanish beneath the waves, strike unseen, and return with secrets no one knew were missing.

Where traditional dive suits are built to withstand the environment, the Revenant is built to conquer it. Every element of its construction—the reactive photonic mesh, sonar-deflecting contour geometry, and neural impulse interface—has been fine-tuned to eliminate detection. In the suit, the operative becomes a void: no signature, no noise, no light, and if the mission succeeds—no witnesses.

Unlike powered armor or exoskeletons, the Revenant makes no attempt to amplify strength or intimidate. It enhances subtlety. The neural interface allows it to respond at the speed of thought, while internal thrusters and osmotic rebreathers enable deep-sea traversal without the need for detectable tanks or exhaust. Even in complete darkness, the wearer can navigate ruins, vaults, and shipwrecks with spatial fidelity only matched by Force precognition.

The Revenant was not made for warzones. It was not built for open combat. It is meant for environments where others die—where the pressure would crush a lesser suit, where the cold would freeze blood in moments, where the waters are tainted with psychic residue and ancient malice. It is there, in the forgotten crypts of drowned civilizations and the trench-choked wreckage of Sith-era vessels, that the Revenant operates best.

It is whispered among Atramentum agents that Revenant wearers do not survive missions—they haunt them. In training, users are told to abandon all sense of presence. You do not speak. You do not breathe loud enough to ripple the water. You become absence—an executioner clad in nothingness.

The suit's disadvantages are as sharp as its strengths. It offers little protection in combat. Its power reserves are finite. It is not forgiving to novices. Even among trained operatives, prolonged use can induce sensory isolation, psychological detachment, and subtle neurological shifts. Some operatives, after repeated use, report that they no longer feel truly visible—even out of the suit. Abyssus calls this condition "residual void imprinting," and maintains strict deployment schedules to mitigate it.

But the value of the Revenant cannot be overstated. Its operatives have retrieved Sith holocrons from oceanic temples once sealed by planetary collapse. They have infiltrated submerged Alliance naval stations to sabotage keels before launch. They have recovered cursed relics from trenches where Force adepts go mad within minutes. And always, they leave no trace.

 

[Darth Virelia]

TYRANT'S EMBRACE​

"Wrought not to protect, but to end all contest—this is no armor, but a covenant.

It remembers every cry silenced, every vow broken, every throne scorched for a higher claim.

It is her vengeance made form, her divinity sealed in steel.

All who kneel beneath its gaze do not worship—they surrender."​

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent:
  To create a unique, alchemically-forged personal armor for Darth Virelia (formerly Serina Calis), representing her complete transformation into a sovereign of domination and terror, and to serve as a central narrative and visual element in her character arc.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer:
  Vakhari Lutris , Darth Strosius , Darth Virelia [X]
• Affiliation:
  
  • Darth Virelia
• Market Status:
  Closed-Market
• Model:
  N/A
• Modularity:
  Yes. Tyrant's Embrace is built upon a modular exosculpted framework, allowing for extensive customization. Components such as the gauntlets, vambraces, helm, and even the spinal corset may be replaced or reconfigured without compromising the armor's integrity. Modular sockets embedded across the suit support the integration of additional alchemical foci, specialized sensors, or ritual matrices. The armor's lattice can also be attuned to different Dark Side nexuses or Force rituals, allowing Serina to subtly reorient its metaphysical alignment for specific tasks (e.g., enhancing stealth, resisting specific sorcery, or improving technomantic isolation). While only Serina can perform these modifications safely, the suit is designed to evolve with its wielder's ambitions.
• Production:
  Unique
• Material:
  
  • Phrik Alloy
    A rare, nearly indestructible metal renowned for its ability to withstand lightsaber strikes and intense energy damage. It forms the armor's exoskeletal plating—particularly in the breastplate, vambraces, and pauldrons—granting unparalleled resilience against Jedi weapons without sacrificing mobility.
  • Sith Alchemical Weave
    A dark, ritual-infused thread used in the underlayers of the armor, skirt segments, and inner bodysuit. This weave carries ancient Sith enchantments that amplify Dark Side powers, protect against psychic intrusion, and resist degradation over time. It hums faintly when exposed to strong Force fields.
  • Synthweave (Ritual Grade)
    A specialized, Force-attuned textile used for the cloak, girdle, and hood. It's reactive to Force energy, shifting texture and flow based on emotional states. Enhanced through Sith rituals, it provides minor resistance to elemental damage and serves as a medium for spellcasting, ritual channeling, and emotional projection.
  • Duravlex Subframe
    A lightweight but high-strength skeletal frame beneath the phrik plating, used for structural support and integration of the neural and power matrices. It ensures that the armor remains agile despite its heavy-duty plating and allows articulation without loss of protection.
  • Alchemised Kyber Crystal
    Set at the armor's core, this refined kyber has been repeatedly bled and fractured through Force rituals until it no longer channels energy—it devours it. Bound directly to Serina's lifeforce, it serves as the locus for several of the armor's more esoteric features, such as the Echo-Well and Tyrant's Eye Core.
  • Reflec-Infused Coating (Localized)
    Incorporated subtly into certain outer surfaces—particularly the helm and pauldrons—this coating offers limited resistance to sensor detection, protecting against basic scans, heat mapping, and biometric targeting. While not a true stealth system, it aids in misdirection and counters battlefield tracking.
  • Ossus Talisman Shards (Crushed, Bound in Core)
    Relics from corrupted Light-Side artifacts were ground and alchemically transmuted into powder, then folded into the armor's crystal core and inner sigils. They resonate in opposition to Light-Side techniques, especially those involving healing, clarity, or shielding, helping invert and absorb such powers through the Reversion Matrix.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

  Multipurpose / Anti-Lightsaber / Anti-Force
• Weight:
  Very High
• Resistances:
  
  • Energy (Blasters, Plasma): High
  • Kinetic: Low

SPECIAL FEATURES

• BWE Fighting Claws:
  Partially inspired by Yuuzhan Vong fighting claws, the BWE Fighting Claw is a synthetic vibroweapon which is typically installed in the digits of its user. Intended to augment the efficacy and potential lethality of its user's hand-to-hand attacks, the Fighting Claw is a weapon that is capable of ripping and tearing through flesh, reinforced organic carapace, and other heavy materials. In this regard, the Fighting Claw is an extremely dangerous weapon to both armored and unarmored targets alike.
• ECLM-001 "Polar-Lance":
  The "ECLM-001" otherwise known as "Polar lance" is the first weapon handcrafted by Vakhari Lutris for the original purpose of either terminating or subjugating any out of control alchemical creations before they could cause damage. It would be further down the line after her departure from the Yalra academy that she desired to reach out to the Sith Order's military complex in order to pitch her ideas and hopefully make a name for herself as a reliable crafter, be it machine, flesh- Or perhaps both.
• Reversion Matrix:
  A Force-reactive lattice hidden beneath the armor's core crystal actively inverts incoming Light Side energies. Force powers like Healing, Calm, or Force Light are not just resisted—they are metabolized and stored as energy to be used by the wearer of the armor.
• Saint-Eater Glyphs:
  Inscribed across the inner lining in Ur-Kittât, these ancient runes warp the emotional spectrum of Light-aligned Force users in proximity. Their compassion turns to obsession, their calm to doubt. Jedi Masters may feel love as hunger, clarity as dread. The longer one stays near the wearer, the less Light remains in them.
• Echo-Well of Suffering:
  The crystalline heart set into Serina's breastplate pulses in harmonic dissonance with Light Side auras. Any Force Light used against the wearer leaves behind a "resonant echo"—a temporary echo of their emotional state at the moment of casting—which is then devoured by the armor, granting Virelia momentary boosts to her Force abilities and insight. These echoes fade quickly but leave scars on the original caster's aura.
• Anointed in Blasphemy:
  The crystalline heart set into Serina's breastplate pulses in harmonic dissonance with Light Side auras. Any Force Light used against the wearer leaves behind a "resonant echo"—a temporary echo of their emotional state at the moment of casting—which is then devoured by the armor, granting Virelia momentary boosts to her Force abilities and insight. These echoes fade quickly but leave scars on the original caster's aura.
• Vel'krathic Conduit Lattice:
  The armor is interwoven with a hyperconductive exo-neural mesh that reacts to Serina's emotional control. It strengthens all Dark Side abilities cast while the user is in states of total calm, supreme arrogance, or detached cruelty—rewarding mastery over rage, not rage itself. Wild fury offers no boost; surgical hatred does.
• Chamber of the Second Will:
  Embedded within the spinal corset is a metaphysical binding chamber—an alchemical prison housing a secondary consciousness harvested during the armor's creation. This subordinate will can be invoked to reinforce Serina's control over hostile sorceries, Force illusions, or rituals, giving her the equivalent of a second mind to direct or resist metaphysical attacks.
• Tyrant's Eye Core:
  At the heart of the armor is a rare Sith-bled kyber crystal, refined through repeated exposure to Force rituals and echoing the screams of conquered apprentices, as well as being attached to Virelia's "heart", which is a pure cage of Darkness. It serves as a minor Dark Side amplifier, empowering nearby Force abilities, especially rituals, Sith magic, and alchemical manipulation. Non-Sith cannot even bear to look upon it without feeling pressure on the soul.
• Sovereign Flame:
  The armor channels Dark Side fire—Force pyrokinesis and Sithfire-based abilities are enhanced, allowing her to conjure and manipulate shadowflame constructs that are semi-sentient, following basic commands.
• Thronemail Protocol:
  A rare metaphysical array woven into the backplate's sigil that projects a passive aura of Force domination. Weaker-willed Force users in Serina's immediate vicinity (within 20 meters) experience increasing difficulty in casting Force powers unless directly authorized, challenged, or countered by her will. Their efforts feel like "borrowing permission." The field feeds on uncertainty and falters only in the presence of unshakable clarity or fanaticism.
• Silent Choir Matrix::
  An advanced neural command web that enables Virelia to sustain two Force abilities at once with no additional mental strain. For example, she may maintain a telekinetic hold while simultaneously using Force Lightning, or cast illusions while shielding herself. The matrix reduces interference between active powers by threading them through different segments of her focus—like playing two songs through one voice.
• Bastion of Black Logic:
  Woven into the deepest layers of Tyrant's Embrace is a recursive encryption lattice formed from ancient Sith logical paradoxes and anti-sorcerous countercode. This design renders the armor heavily resistant to Mechu-deru and similar machine-affecting Force techniques. Attempts to dominate or control its systems—whether through technomancy, code-bending, or mechanical suggestion—encounter an infinite regress of contradictory commands and unresolvable logic traps. Any effort to override its functions with the Force is met with looping resistance that can disorient or damage the mind of the caster. The armor does not resist intrusion by repelling it—it devours the signal, then collapses it inward.
• Circuit of Seven Chains:
  An ancient and forbidden array of Sith glyphs engraved into the gauntlets and corset-frame, the Circuit of Seven Chains serves as a metaphysical failsafe against total Force negation. Darth Virelia's existence is so tightly bound to the Dark Side that exposure to anti-Force fields—such as Ysalamiri null-zones or Voidstone chambers—would normally unravel her cellular stability, rendering her terminal within minutes.
  
  The Circuit forestalls this collapse.
  
  Rather than allowing her to wield the Force within such voids, the matrix preserves her life functions and neural coherence through anchored soul-loop binding. It acts as a cage of selfhood: a self-contained metaphysical circuit that temporarily isolates her from reality's rejection of the Force, maintaining bodily integrity, cognition, and awareness even when her connection is severed.
  
  This does not allow her to cast Force powers within such fields—but it denies death its claim. While others might fall senseless or perish from disconnection, Virelia endures. Quiet. Watching. Waiting.

STRENGTHS

• Fortress Against the Force – Extreme Resistance to Force-based Attacks:
  Forged in ritual, tempered in agony, and alchemically fused to Virelia's own metaphysical essence, Tyrant's Embrace is a defiant rejection of the Force's ability to shape her fate. Both Light and Dark Side abilities—be they assault, intrusion, or corruption—meet heavy resistance. Where others are turned, influenced, or unraveled by Force powers, Serina stands immovable, her armor repelling sorcery, illusions, mind tricks, and more with an unnatural resilience. Jedi attempting mind probes find only thorns. Sith sorcery clashes against her will and dies. The armor acts as both crucible and shell: it does not merely block the Force—it scorns it.
• Lightsaber Impervious – Extreme Resistance to Lightsabers:
  The armor's obsidian-black surface is layered with alchemized phrik alloys, refined through endless ritual agony and bound with Force-reinforced latticework. Lightsabers glance off the plates with screeching impotence unless sustained strikes target exposed joints or openings—of which there are few. Even those cuts struggle to penetrate. The armor does not boast—it endures, and it lets its silence speak for its contempt of radiant blades.
• The Sovereign's Will:
  Through features like the Thronemail Protocol, Silent Choir Matrix, and Vel'krathic Conduit, Tyrant's Embrace elevates Serina's dominance in metaphysical spaces. She is not a mere wielder of the Force—she is its center of gravity. Within her presence, lesser Force users feel their will falter and their powers falter unless shaped in answer to hers. Her spells extend further, her control tightens, her rituals ring louder. Virelia does not bend the Force to her will—she dictates its behavior.
• Light, Twisted – Force Corruption Suite:
  With systems like the Reversion Matrix, Saint-Eater Glyphs, Anointed in Blasphemy, and Echo-Well of Suffering, the armor subverts Light Side energies into tools of corruption. Jedi who attempt healing, clarity, or resistance in her presence may find their very faith corroded. Every attempt to destroy her purity only feeds her darkness. This is not armor made to endure the Light—it is armor made to feed on it. To undo it. To convert it.
• Force Resilience in Null-Zones:
  Most beings as deeply tethered to the Force as Virelia would unravel upon entering a Force-null field. The Circuit of Seven Chains prevents this terminal unraveling by stabilizing her essence in the absence of connection. She cannot use the Force within these zones—but she can live. Think. Move. Plan. A sovereign will enclosed in absolute silence.
• Predator's Precision:
  In the event of trauma or environmental breach, the suit's internal medical systems will auto-deploy a cocktail of stims, clotting agents, and breath-stabilizers. This buys critical seconds—even minutes—for an agent to escape, finish a task, or reach evac. Combined with its self-regulating oxygen supply and temperature buffering, the suit increases survivability in missions where extraction is not guaranteed.
• Ritual Catalyst:
  The Tyrant's Eye Core and Chamber of the Second Will empower Serina's ability to conduct, direct, or sustain complex Force rituals and Sith alchemy. She may operate multi-threaded spellwork with reduced strain, using the secondary will to support her concentration.
• Sovereign Flame – Enhanced Sithfire and Pyrokinesis:
  With a furnace of pain at its core and sorcerous channels laced throughout, the armor enhances Force pyrokinesis and Sithfire-based abilities. Shadowflame constructs—manifestations of wrath and memory—can be shaped into tendrils, guardians, or consuming blazes. These flames hunger not just for flesh but for certainty, devouring morale and memory alike.

WEAKNESSES

• Kinetic Vulnerability – Low Resistance to Kinetic Damage
  While near-impervious to sabers and sorcery, Tyrant's Embrace is less effective against purely physical force. High-velocity slugthrowers, concussive blasts, blunt weapons, or sustained ballistic impacts can crack or disorient the user, especially at joints or seams. The armor prioritizes mystic supremacy over brute resilience—Serina is a goddess of will, not a tank. A high-caliber round or falling debris will still hurt.
• Rigid Focus – Power Requires Precision:
  Many systems within the armor, such as the Vel'krathic Conduit Lattice and Silent Choir Matrix, reward emotional control and calculated cruelty. Wild emotion, panic, or untethered rage can weaken or entirely nullify their benefits. The armor punishes clumsiness. If Serina loses focus—she risks compromising her edge. She is supreme only when she is still.
• Force Silence – Powerless in Null Zones:
  The Circuit of Seven Chains sustains her life in Force-dead fields, but it does not allow her to use Force powers. Within such zones, Serina becomes a highly trained, armored woman—but no more. She cannot lash out with lightning, manipulate minds, or defend with sorcery. Without the Force, she must rely on physical skill alone, and despite the armor's enhancements, this is a sharp limitation for a creature so utterly dependent on metaphysical superiority.
• Aura of Alienation – Suppressive Presence:
  The armor's constant projection of domination, corruption, and metaphysical dread makes coordination with Light Side users—or even many neutrals—extremely difficult. Allies in proximity may feel emotionally strained, fatigued, or ideologically unsettled, especially Jedi or Lightsiders. The Saint-Eater Glyphs and Thronemail Protocol do not distinguish friend from foe. Cooperation with others becomes a form of pressure, not unity.
• Impossible to Replicate – Unique Alchemical Binding:
  The suit is soul-bound to Darth Virelia through dark rites, metaphysical tethers, and personalized trauma-infusions. It cannot be worn by another, operated remotely, or mass-produced in any form. If she is killed, the armor will either fall inert or become a haunted relic at best—one that no sane being should attempt to wear. The Vectrix Spine Interface ensures that unauthorized access will destroy critical functions—or the intruder.
• Vulnerable Underside – Limited Flex Points:
  The underlayer between the segmented plate skirt and inner thigh armor is composed of ritual-weave synthsilk. Though highly resistant to basic wear and mildly durable, it does not compare to phrik or alchemical plate. A precise strike or lucky blast to these exposed sections could pierce her defense. She is not invincible—only inevitable.
• Power Drawback – Suffering is the Fuel:
  Several of the armor's systems, particularly the Echo-Well of Suffering and Tyrant's Eye Core, rely on either Serina's own pain or the pain of others to function at peak potential. In extended combat where emotions run low or nearby beings are unaffected by her aura, these features may weaken. The armor thrives on suffering—emotional, metaphysical, or mortal. A battlefield of calm minds and clinical violence reduces its potency.
• No True Stealth – Dominance Cannot Be Hidden:
  The aura of dread, emotional pressure, and psychic dissonance projected by Tyrant's Embrace makes traditional stealth nearly impossible. While Serina may move quietly, her presence cannot be ignored by the attuned. Force sensitives, psychometrists, or even spiritually-aware fauna can feel her coming like a change in air pressure.
• Force Null Suppression Interference:
  While the armor's Circuit of Seven Chains ensures Darth Virelia remains alive and mentally intact within Force-nullification fields, the armor itself suffers functional suppression. Force-dependent features—such as the Reversion Matrix, Saint-Eater Glyphs, and Sovereign Flame—enter a dormant state, their systems inert but preserved. The armor does not lose its enhancements permanently, but it does become temporarily mundane: its supernatural edge fades, leaving only its physical construction intact. During these moments, Tyrant's Embrace behaves like finely engineered armor rather than an extension of the Force, and its psychological aura is drastically reduced. When the nullification field dissipates, systems reactivate within moments.

DESCRIPTION

There are armors that protect. There are armors that empower. Tyrant's Embrace does neither in isolation. It is not merely worn—it is inhabited. It is not armor in the way plate protects flesh, but in the way fire consumes wood: violently, inevitably, and with purpose.

Forged in a blacksite beneath the ghost-choked rock of Polis Massa, in a ritual co-authored by the darkest minds of Vakhari Lutris , Darth Strosius and Darth Virelia , Tyrant's Embrace is the culmination of a design not of metallurgy, but of philosophy. Where others built armor to defy death, Serina Calis—Darth Virelia—built hers to defy fate itself.

The ritual was not one of rage, but of domination. It was not hatred that was infused into the plates, but will: precise, elegant, unflinching. In the pit where gods had once wept, martyrs bled their last for nothing, and traitors were vivisected under cold starlight, a prototype was shaped from the screams of the hopeful and the disillusionment of saints. It was not a forge—it was an execution. And what emerged from it was not steel—it was sentence.

From the moment the helm was set into place, Darth Virelia ceased to be a woman defined by the galaxy. She became its antithesis. Its corrupter. Its reckoning.

The armor molds to her like a second skin, its gleaming black surfaces laced with silent threat, bearing none of the gaudy embellishments of Sith megalomania—only perfection, and its terrible consequences. Every line carved in it is surgical. Every glyph is a wound upon the Force itself. The exosuit does not amplify her. It reveals her.

The glowing core embedded in her sternum is not a decoration; it is a heart engineered from captivity and betrayal. Its pulse is not mechanical, but spiritual—a drumbeat of endless subjugation echoing in the minds of those attuned to the Force. When Jedi look upon it, they do not see armor. They see a future they were too afraid to prevent.

And perhaps most terrifying of all: the armor does not roar like ancient Sith monsters. It whispers. It suggests. It asks. Because it already knows the answer. Because it already owns you.
The prototype that emerged in the ritual beneath Polis Massa was potent—but incomplete. It was a weapon forged of blood, brilliance, and ambition, yet still tethered to the weaknesses of its creators: passion, fury, and memory. It echoed Darth Virelia's power but did not yet embody it.

The early frame was aggressive—its plates more brutal than refined, its energies raw and barely contained. The alchemical core burned violently, flaring with each incantation as though the armor itself had a heartbeat of rage. The martyr-echoes fed the armor's strength, but they did so inconsistently, like wind powering a flame—impressive, but unstable. Serina knew such volatility could not serve her final vision.

She did not want a weapon of fury. She wanted a monument of control.

And so, in the months that followed, the armor was reforged. Not through ritual alone, but through tyranny of intellect. Darth Virelia revised the runic geometry, encoding the circuits of the soul with predatory logic. The Saint-Eater glyphs were made subtler, no longer overwhelming but insidious—designed to twist the Light not through agony, but agreement. The Echo-Well was refined to store harmonic dissonance like a parasite siphoning memories, drawing out hope in order to invert it into fuel.

What had once been a reactive armor became proactive.

The spinal sigil was redesigned into the Thronemail Protocol—a field of metaphysical dominion, allowing Virelia to dictate whether nearby Force users could act freely, or only with her unconscious permission. No longer would she merely resist powers—she would overwrite them, like a sovereign rewriting law.

The core crystal, once volatile and imprecise, was replaced with the Tyrant's Eye—a kyber crystal steeped in centuries of rituals, bleeding history and hate. Not an amplifier by design, but by declaration. Virelia made herself the center of the Force not by attunement, but by entitlement.

She also corrected a fatal flaw: her vulnerability to Force-negation. The original armor lacked safeguards against the horrors of Voidstone, or the suffocating nullity of ysalamiri. But Darth Virelia—whose very body had become bound to the Force—refused to accept death as the price of silence. Thus, she encoded the Circuit of Seven Chains, a metaphysical soul-loop that would maintain her biological and cognitive integrity even in places where the Force was severed entirely. Where others would fall insensate, she would remain—unmoving, unyielding, undying.

But the greatest evolution was not technical. It was philosophical.

In its final state, Tyrant's Embrace ceased to be a reflection of the Dark Side's wrath. It became an embodiment of its refinement. A shell not of power uncontrolled—but of power mastered, caged, and weaponized with clinical purpose. It rewards precision. Coldness. It rejects the vulgarity of screaming rage and instead answers only to sovereign will.

In the field, Tyrant's Embrace is neither passive armor nor overwhelming brute force—it is a metaphysical apex predator, tuned to Darth Virelia's every breath, gesture, and decision. It does not protect her like a shield; it enforces her will like an extension of her psyche. On the battlefield, it is not her defense that inspires terror—it is her presence. She does not enter a conflict. She unwrites it.

The armor's Extreme resistance to Lightsabers and the Force grants her an aura of invincibility in duels. Blades slide off the flowing, hardened obsidian-like phrik alloy as though glancing off truth itself. Lightsaber strikes may bite at the armor, but rarely penetrate. Even Light Side powers—normally a bane to Sith—are rendered feeble, inverted, or consumed by her latticework of countermeasures. Calm turns to doubt. Healing becomes weakness. Light itself is corrupted.

Where Jedi would expect peace, they find obsession. Where enemies expect a crusader's fury, they find cold, elegant suffocation.

But Tyrant's Embrace is not invulnerable—only inevitable.

The armor's greatest strength is also its limitation: it demands total control. It does not reward spontaneity or explosive rage. It punishes emotional excess. A berserker would find it suffocating; a duelist reliant on instinct would find their rhythm fractured. Only Virelia's precise, commanding presence—her mastery of self and others—unlocks the armor's deepest functions.

In terms of kinetic resilience, the armor is less forgiving. Blaster bolts are deflected or absorbed to a high degree, but slugthrowers, shrapnel, and high-velocity kinetic impacts remain a threat. Its layered composition mitigates some of this, but it was never designed for trench warfare. A well-placed railgun slug or shatter rifle round can compromise even its most reinforced areas—particularly at joints and edges, which sacrifice coverage for movement.

Force nullification zones present a unique challenge. The armor does not allow Force usage within such fields, nor does it break them. What it does instead is preserve Virelia's life. Where other Sith would fall into comas or disintegrate under metaphysical collapse, the Circuit of Seven Chains sustains her: thought intact, body stable, mind untouched. In those moments, she becomes a serpent coiled in silence—unable to strike, but impossible to kill.

The armor is also tailored specifically to her essence. It reacts only to her Force signature, emotion patterns, and bioelectrical rhythm. This means it cannot be used by others—at best, it would be inert. At worst, it would annihilate them. For Serina, however, it becomes intuitive. Movement becomes divine choreography. Gestures command flame, deception, and agony. Her every step is deliberate. Every motion is a commandment.

Beyond combat, Tyrant's Embrace exerts a constant psychological influence. Those of lesser willpower near her often describe a sensation of "breathing her air"—a subtle perception that their will is being subsumed into something larger, colder, and more complete. Over time, this breeds discomfort, obedience, or—in the weak—devotion. Some fall into madness. Others become zealots. Fewer still can endure her presence for long.

On the battlefield, her armor marks her not as a Sith warrior—but as a sovereign force of nature, a nexus of total authority. She does not rely on fear alone. She is a promise of what is coming: that the Force belongs to her now, and the galaxy will learn to kneel.
