Intent: To provide iconic and variable armor for the Imperial Remnant's Elite Troopers, and to allow them access to open appearance and preference.
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/37488-an-elite-unit-deserves-a-worthy-design-armor/
Manufacturer: Regent Industries Production/Development, CRI Design/Prototype
Model: SCVA
Affiliation: The Imperial Remnant, Storm Commandos/Elite Units
Modularity: Yes
Production: Mass
Material: Plasteel, Organic Weave, Ballistics Weave, Duraplast
Classification: Multipurpose
Weight: 6-12kg
Quality: 6-8 (Depending on modifications)
Special Features:
- Standard HUD (Life Readings, Direction Mapping, Communications, Squad Vitals)
- 1 Hour Oxygen Supply
- Night Vision, 1.5x Zoom Features for HUD
- Retractable Blade or Wrist Blaster (6 shot charge capacity) in Right Gauntlet
- Grappling Cable or Holo Projector in left Gauntlet
- Communication Jammer Booster or Heavy Armament Webbing on Back
- Interchangeable Armor Plates determining weight, protection, and mobility (Also allows ease of repairs in the field)
The armor also can swap out gauntlets that either sport a blade or wrist blaster in the right arm, or a Grappling Cable and Holo Projector in the left. This factors down to whether the specific soldier is more opt for close quarters or ranged combat, and if increased mobility around the battlefield or enhanced tactical disposition suit them more. Which also is the idea behind the communication booster pack and heavy armament webbing (Meant for enabling a soldier to carry more weapons and ammo, or heavy weapons like a Plex Launcher/E-WEb/or Oppressor Flamethrower) to allow a trooper in the field to fill the role in their unit to carry advanced weapons into the field or break through enemy jamming. Though as a Squad would have several soldiers of different takes in a unit it is likely they could fill all such roles.
While the armor does not sport a shield generator, like the Crinan Royal Soldier's armor does, it does have greater versatility and does enforce better blast resistant materials in its construction. While advancements can and likely will be made in the future to bring the armor more up to par to counter Mandolorian Beskar perhaps and the lightsabers of the Jedi and Sith, it is certainly for now a most definite elite unit armor capable of withstanding an average infantry engagement. And due to the parts interchangeability, should a section become damaged it is easily capable of being replaced easily in the combat zone should a spare be available at a drop point or secured position.
