- Retention -
- There is only one thing that the S-30 "Retention" Anti-Disruption System does, and that is to stop the all together too powerful nature of a Disruptors shot. Where as a usual target would face a single one of these rounds, and disitegrate into nothing - the S-30 allows a Disruptor bolts energy to hit with all the force of an overcharged Blaster Bolt; without all that extra ash. It can do this many times over without the use of a shield, and that makes it an exceptional utility on the battle field.
- Design Flaw -
- While the original hope was to make the system easily clipped onto a belt, there is no way Jaeger technicians were able to achieve this with a product that stood up to their testing criteria. Eventually, it was determined that the system could not be implaned into existing armors, but only that designed from the ground up to contain it - meaning retrofitting an armor was extremely difficult, if nigh impossible.
- Christmas Sweater -
- While there is no technical limit to the rounds the S-30 can take, it should be noted that an excess of the rounds can cause the armor to begin to overheat; and even begin to fail off sheer energy alone. This would require a vast amount of disruptor rounds, or exceptionally powerful ones at that - but it can still be done. Many an operator has fallen to sustained disruptor fire despite their phrik armor casing.
After a string of disruptor related deaths internally, Jaeger Solutions began to see a defensive measure that could stop the all too powerful nature of the Disruptor. Something that could work without the need of a personal shield - even if Jaeger had the Vishnu yet. Their conclusion became the S-30 "Retention" Anti Disruption System, an inbuilt armor addition that kept ones life, and armor, together for a while longer.
Working through a set of thin sensors put inbetween the various plates of the armor, it works by setting a current to the outside of the armor. When a highly overcharged block of tibanna gas is detected by the electrical surges, the system begins to flood that area with electricity. An onboard prediction system waits until the bolt hits, and when it does all electrical current is forced into the nearest ground - usually through the feet, but can be done through a quick 'heat release' through the armor itself; though it looks more like the armor is overheating than anything. This process turns the 'overcharge' of the Disruptor round into little more than a standard blaster bolt - helping to keep the person inside alive for a little longer on the battlefield.
Knowing all this however, Jaeger realized that process of doing this would inevitably make their own Disruptors out of fashion. Knowing that was a poor business move, the engineers released a quick update - making it so that the S-30 was able to detect the micro differences between the charges of Jaeger Disruptors like the 'Inferos', to others; meaning that Jaeger weapons are not actually stopped by this armor additive. Marketing rationilizes this as a 'reason why Jaeger products are superior', but some have theorized it was just a way to corner the arms market.
Either way, the S-30 serves its purpose as a grand defensive measure against all things Disruptor - and a further push for Jaeger to become the largest, most influential arms company in the galaxy.
