STRENGTHS
- High Strength - Made from high strength Mandalorian Steel with internal energy sinks designed to absorb energy weapons, worn over a high impact kinetic gel flak vest.
- Hazard Protection - Designed with Aerospace operations and hazardous materials in mind, The helmet features a series of toxin filters and redundant air scrubbers intended to protect the user from chemical warfare, passive radiation and the vacuum of space.
- Ionic Armor - Using duraplast scavenged from Star Destroyers, all electronic systems have been encased in EMP and Ion resistant material.
- Partial Coverage - In order to reduce weight related strain, the final design possesses several gaps to exploit across the armored surface.
- Lightsaber - While Mandalorian Steel alloy provides some resistance against lightsaber weaponry, these plates can defend against a glancing blow or two, having reduced thickness in favor of reducing weight related strain during combat.
- Extreme Heat - Unlike true Beskar, the more common Mandalorian Steel alloy plates can become heated by high intensity weaponry. Users are recommended to wear flame retardant flight suits and avoid mining lasers or plasmatic flamethrowers.
DESCRIPTION
The Werda'gaid or "Shadow Plate" was named for it's color, being darker than it's Beskar counterparts due to the Black Oxide coating to prevent corrosion. It was initially created for marines of The Black Fleet and made from materials scavenged off of Imperial vessels, which would first be mixed to create Mandalorian Steel Alloy. Later on, the fleet began to expand it's ranks, leading Black Hand Collective™ to produce the armor on a greater scale to replace damaged equipment frequently brought in by newer Mandalorians who the fleet would often join the fleet out of desperation while resisting imperial and sith forces in the outer rim.
Because of this, the armor was designed to serve as a foundation for personal combat equipment, able to be tweaked to the individuals needs and be expanded with new parts over many battles. Most importantly however, this new equipment was designed with naval engagements in mind, suited to boarding operations and skirmishing in the vacuum of space, featuring magnetic boots and oxygen supply that could prove life saving and versatile.
While quite utilitarian, the construction of this body armor was of course cost effective. This allowed the collective manufacture standardized suits while not impeding user customization, and would lead to a surplus of equipment that could be sold to individuals and Mandalorian allies alike.
