[*]Repulsor Pack
[*]Holoemitters: Several 'run and hide' modes can be accessed by Rhaegar, including 'shaped like rock', 'common bulkhead' and 'rubbish bin' disguises. While Infra-red or life scanners would not be fooled, the visual searcher can be.
[*]Cortosis Weave: The Laminanium armour is inlaid with a Cortosis weave, shorting out lightsabers which attempt to cut Ginnie's precious muffin in half.
DESCRIPTION
The RWPS-01 was developed by a frustrated single mother, whose little boy thought he could be a warrior before age thirteen. Having lost [member="Rhaegar Dib II"]'s father at Eshan, while nursing newborns, Ginnie never had the chance to finish her husband's nearly completed armour. The beskar sat fallow, dust settling on the project.
That is, until the first time Rhae Jr. ran away. Sure, it was a training camp for Mandalorians, but the act sent virile and ever present terror through his Goran (Beskarsmith) mother. She wasn't about to lose Rhae Jr. the way she lost Rhae. Being the Mand'alor's personal Beskarsmith had its' advantages, and Ginnie threw her half-completed projects off the table to work tirelessly on the RWPS-01, aptly named the Rhaegy-Waegy Protective System for the sole purpose of reminding the little squirt that he was a child and ought to be home tugging his twin sister's pigtails, not trying to figure out what end of a gun to hold.
While Rhaegar is a child, there are no offensive weapons on the RWPS-01. A purely defensive tool meant to seek him out in the case he ran away from home again, the armour can biometrically track and latch onto the boy, swathing him in layers of protections, and instantly chiming the nearest 'friendly' Clans of Mandalore HUD on the 'Safe List'.
Nanites work in tandem with the Laminanium alloy, which can form and reform, melt and harden on command programmed to protect the charge inside, and to form over Rhae's body, when he was silly enough to escape his babysitters and try to 'be a man like Daddy'. Armed with recordings of his mother's voice, and a high priority private comm link between the protective system and Ginnie, she can keep tabs on his location and scold him something fierce, or help him through when he does manage to seek out an ill attempted battlefield.
Strengths:
- Blaster Resistant
- Vacuum Proof
- Medical Interventionalist: Auto-injecting Bacta Packs in both thighs & arms.
- Nanotechnology: The Nanites which make up the solid-state armour are biometrically triggered to only work on [member="Rhaegar Dib II"], and seek him out in any situation where his vitals peak above 'median lines'.
- Vulnerable to Slugthrowers
- Vulnerable to blades in joints of armor
- Small armour for a small little man.
- No Offensive Weaponry.
- Location Ping can be hacked by an adequate slicer to locate the child.
