SPECIAL FEATURES
- Due to the cortosis-weave, a lightsaber won't cut through the robes for some time, but because it is not pure cortosis, they will not short out
- Photoreactive fibers allow the robes to change color
- Resistant - The robes, due to their make of cortosis-weave and armorweave, are highly resistant to energy weapons and lightsabers
- Shifting Appearance - The photoreactive fibers of the robes allow Taeli to change their color to whatever she sees fit for the time
- Ballistics - Ballistic weapons like slugthrowers can go through the robes rather easily
- Color Reversion - If hit by an energy weapon or an EMP/Ion attack, the photoreactive fibers are deactivated where the hit occurred, changing back to the standard black color.
During her fight with Coren Starchaser during the events of Endgame, Taeli Raaf and Coren had engaged each other in a contest of strength, powerful light side and dark side energies mixing. The result was a massive explosion that injured both Force Masters, and Taeli's armor and robes, the same Jedi Shade Robes she had developed for the old Galactic Republic, were destroyed.
Rather irritated at their destruction, Taeli had to create some new robes she would wear into battle. To that end, she took the lessons learned in the previous robe's construction and designed new ones in the Sith style. They have the same properties as the old ones, including their weaknesses, but that was fine to her. She rather enjoyed the surprise of her enemies when the lightsaber hit didn't go through her robes immediately.
