• Cold Fang Alignment: The armor operates in harmony with Force use, allowing movement, awareness, and control to remain clear while active. Power moves freely rather than being constrained by the suit.
• Packbound Deployment: Armor deployment is initiated through the gauntlet, spreading outward in a controlled surge rather than existing as constant bulk. Mobility is preserved until the wearer commits fully.
• Frostguard Aegis: The nanite mass can condense into a solid forearm shield, capable of catching or deflecting incoming fire and close-range strikes when impact cannot be avoided.
• Winter Hold Doctrine: Once deployed, the armor remains active for the duration of the engagement. It is built for sustained confrontation rather than repeated disengagement.
• Snowbreak Field Integration: The armor supports localized counter-field technology, allowing the wearer to operate within hostile nullification zones without losing mobility or momentum.
• Whitefire Tolerance: The armor is hardened to withstand extreme cold and heat alike, reflecting the wearer’s ability to turn harsh environments into an advantage rather than a liability.

• Frozen Commit State: Once the nanite armor is deployed, it remains active until the engagement concludes. The system is not designed for mid-fight retraction or redeployment.
• Fang-Hand Dependency: Armor deployment, shielding, and counter-field functions are routed through the gauntlet assembly. Significant damage to this component degrades or disables the system as a whole.
• Hunt Focus Requirement: Counter-field devices require deliberate positioning and activation. Poor timing or rushed use can reduce effectiveness or temporarily render the system unusable.
• Winter Fatigue Cycle: Integrated disruption devices have finite operational cycles and require maintenance or reset after extended use, limiting effectiveness during prolonged engagements.
• Whiteout Pressure: The armor is built for direct confrontation rather than prolonged exposure to heavy, continuous fire or layered area denial. Under sustained saturation, system cohesion degrades over time, forcing reliance on movement and aggression rather than endurance.

Aerik finished the armor aboard the ship.

The Forceline schematics were still open on one of the holotables when he sealed the last panel. His father’s design had been sound from the beginning. Gerwald did not tolerate weakness in foundations. Aerik had learned that early. He did not change structure, but how it responded.

Skadi Lightbane did not fight by pressing forward. She controlled space, slowed movement, and punished momentum. Aerik had watched her turn corridors into kill zones and open ground into traps. Ice bent the battlefield around her in a way few could counter. The armor needed to work with that, not against it.

He built it to come online fully and stay that way. When Skadi committed, the armor would not flicker or withdraw. It would hold position the way she did. Aerik did not frame that choice as doctrine. It was simply honest.

He found her near the embarkation bay, checking her gear without hurry. The hum of the ship surrounded them, steady and impersonal. He handed the gauntlet to her without ceremony.

“It’s based on my father’s work. I adjusted it.”

Skadi took it and examined the fit before sliding it into place. Her attention went immediately to how it settled against her arm, how it balanced rather than pulled. She did not comment. She rarely did when something was done right.

The system responded as soon as it recognized her. The armor assembled cleanly, locking into place without resistance. Aerik watched closely and felt something ease when it behaved the way he had intended. This would be her first war with the Sith. He did not say that aloud.

“You’ll slow them down.”

Skadi glanced at him the way she always did, a little too long. “You’ll make sure they don’t get back up.”

Aerik did not explain why he had taken extra time with it. He did not say that fighting beside her had changed how he thought about preparation. He simply stepped back and let her finish checking her kit. Besides, the armor was as much for his protection as it was for hers. If this helped her channel the ice it was less likely to harm him.

When the order came to prepare, they separated without another word. As the ship shifted course, Aerik looked once more in her direction. The armor moved with her as if it had always belonged there.

That mattered more than he was willing to admit.
