Description:
Built as a heavier version of the troopers armor, the biggest change being the addition of biogel bodygloves. An armored bodyglove able to protect from kinetic impact to a high degree and normally used for training but seeing the value of it and utalizing the training of the soldiers. Their standard gear was reduced in favor of being able to wear the duraplast over an armored bodyglove. The results were more restricted range of motion, inability to quickly climb as a trade off for taking hits that could kill others. Their larger numbers hopefully a plan to compensate in the end.

The 19 piece set keeping many of the standard looks, the plate on the left knee for kneeling and firing, the power pack on the right knee, a casing for thermal detonators at the small of the back. Additional clips for weapons allowing two weapons to be attached to the back, or a power pack for a heavy weapon, an ammo pack for additional ammo. Their holster for a side arm and a thigh mounted combat knife. The armor is placed on the remnants of the forces Balaya had on Bastion under Emperor Zambrano and Krag. The remaining mercenary forces working for her as squad leaders training the new ones in how to use and best work with the armor.

The armors themselves are produced in standard variants for different situations. Some more used the others but each and everyone serves the purpose needed in monitoring sector five. With the armor for her sector larger, bulkier, more protective but relying on superior power in numbers. Different sets of equipment across the lay outs for the equipment and armor. A utility belt designed to give them food and small repair kits. The fearsome terror, dark and shadowtroopers becoming something not able to be replicated. Those projects would need to be restarted before hand and commissioned by the Dark Lord possibly.

Strengths:
More protective

Weaknesses:
Heavier
Poor Range of Motion

Under review...

Having talked to the other judges and much debate about how to handle the plethora of armor variants, it has been decided that I need to ask for edits. It looks like you just listed the different type of stormtroopers and then said this armor is a "one up" of all of them. I don't see anything against variants in armor but this is a bit far. This needs to be divided into multiple submissions, such as all aquan type troopers in one sub, space born in another, cold weather, etcetera.

The alternative is make a multi use armor that is sealed and insulated with perhaps a cooling unit.

The biogel glove is basically this.

So range of motion would be more than just difficulty turning ones head. You can use it by all means but your troopers are going to be slow and have trouble shooting/climbing/swiming/steering and just about everything other than direct line combat.

Edited it down to this submission having just the basic armored ones. Other submissions for the more advanced troopers will be coming soon. You've given me ideas.

For their armor well more protection at the cost of movement can be a good trade off if used the right way. Might make changes down the line, might not.

Ok.

With the edits Ordo asked for, this is okay.

Approved.
