SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Energy Aegis: The combination of triple-phase Echani conformal shielding, energy sinks, and betaplast-laminanium composite plating gives the armor extreme resistance to blasters, disruptors, plasma, particle weapons, electrical attacks, ion weaponry, and stun effects. Against most ranged energy threats, the wearer can remain fully mobile under sustained fire.
  • Kinetic Shield: The MRS-04D Omvendt Ablative Inertial Damper alters the armor’s interaction with kinetic threats by significantly reducing momentum at the moment of impact. As a result, slugthrowers, mass drivers, shrapnel, explosive shock, and blunt-force impacts may lose most of their kinetic force dramatically reducing internal injury and acceleration trauma. Against conventional ballistic weapons, even anti-materiel calibers may cease to be reliable one-shot threats.
  • Mind and Body Augmentation: Achieved via energized and reactive polymer materials incorporated into the body glove, the armor will enhance the wearer’s raw muscle strength roughly thricefold. In addition, the Ghost Link integrated into the helmet significantly enhances reaction time, mental processing capability, and awareness.
  • Metaphysical Shield: Terentatek hide significantly dampens direct Force-based effects. While not total immunity, this resistance complicates many types of Force attacks and reduces the effectiveness of many Sith and Jedi techniques. In addition, a dedicated neural stabilizer in the helmet protects against mental attacks.
  • Extreme Thermal Tolerance: Ostrine reinforcement and thermal shielding allow the wearer to operate in environments with intense heat, fire, or plasma exposure. Directed flamethrowers, thermal detonator shock-heat, and heat bloom are far less lethal than they would be to conventional armor.
  • Storm Chaser: Reinforced duraplast electronic hardening, solar ray shielding, and the AEGIS nanoarray make the armor extraordinarily resilient to ion weapons, EMP grenades, and electronic warfare. This prevents catastrophic system shutdowns common to advanced armor systems.
  • Attrition Survivability: Laminanium’s self-reforming properties, supplemented by programmable matter, allow the armor to seal penetrations and repair microfractures over time. While not instantaneous, this capability prevents damage accumulation from escalating into catastrophic failure, greatly extending operational endurance during prolonged engagements or extended campaigns without immediate resupply.
  • Multi-Spectrum Stealth Architecture: The armor is a multi-spectrum concealment platform designed to defeat visual perception, electronic sensing, biometric tracking, metaphysical senses, and battlefield acoustics simultaneously. Its stealth profile is layered, redundant, and adaptive. Its core strengths include near-total visual obfuscation via the photo-reactive coating, sensor and scanner suppression via the stealth polymer and the mirror masking system, electronic surveillance defeat via the Blue Witch sensor jammer, thermal/infrared invisibility via the thermoguard system, concealment from metaphysical senses via the taozin node, and acoustic erasure via D-baffling.
WEAKNESSES
  • Surface Damage: While the armor’s equipped Dream Sight possesses an extremely advanced surface-integrated passive reception array, any direct damage to the surface of the armor may diminish the effectiveness of the system due to the destruction of a number of passive micro-sensors. This can result in blind spots in the passive reception array.
  • Slow Self-Repair Cycle: Programmable matter repairs are gradual. Severe damage incurred in rapid succession cannot be immediately undone and may accumulate during prolonged engagements. It goes without saying that the programmable matter will not be able to effect repairs during most live confrontations.
  • Energy Intensive: The simultaneous operation of the conformal Echani shield projector array, inertial damper, strength enhancer, and other systems demands an extreme-output power source. This power core, the Hypermatter Synthesis Engine, is a critical single point of failure; disabling it would drastically reduce the armor's capabilities to its (still formidable) passive layers.
  • Low Tensor Resistance: While optimized to mitigate damage from most forms of energy-based assaults, tensor weapons are indeed the exception. In firing compressed tractor beam waves, they can bypass most of the armor’s defenses and affect the wearer’s body at a cellular level, with the potential to cause severe injury.
  • Radiation Attrition: Although the suit is fully sealed against contamination, its resistance to high-energy radiation is low. Extended exposure degrades organic components, stresses electronics, and shortens system lifespan. Radiation-heavy environments are survivable but not sustainable for long-duration operations. And high-energy directed-radiation weapons are likely lethal.
  • Shield Projector Criticality: The armor is a high-tech combat platform that depends in part on its electronics for its defensive prowess. Thus, should its electronics be overloaded, disabled, or impaired, the armor’s ability to protect the wearer will suffer in turn. In such a case, the Echani shield array might suffer malfunction. Since this system is a linchpin to the armor’s resistance against disruptors (the protective material by itself is unable to adequately defend against this weapon type as solid materials can not be proofed against disruptors), these weapons will likely pose an especially mortal threat to the wearer in the event of system failure.
DESCRIPTION
Manufactured in small numbers by First United Astral Engineering under exclusive commission from the Tarkin Initiative, the Tarkin-Imperial Death Trooper Armor sits at the absolute pinnacle of Imperial military science. Aesthetically indistinguishable from standard Death Trooper equipment, the armor's true nature is revealed in the field, where its performance has been characterized as equal parts unbreakable and apocalyptic. Each suit is assigned to a specific operative and is recovered at all costs; the Initiative does not permit its enemies to study such advanced technology.

The armor's defensive architecture is built for redundancy. An outer Echani conformal shield array utilizes solar ray, particle, and thermal shields to neutralize incoming energy, projectiles, and directed heat before contact is ever made with the physical hull. Beneath this, molecularly bonded duraplast-purified cortosis composite, reinforced with Ostrine for thermal absorption, provides a hard shell that is capable of causing lightsabers to short-circuit on impact and shrugging off munitions that would cripple light armored vehicles. The ablative inertial damper, layered beneath the plating, mitigates the kinetic energy of kinetic-based attacks, transforming anti-materiel rifle rounds into nigh-harmless taps. Finally, a terentatek-armorweave underlayer treated with dilatant anti-shank cloth catches fragmentation and dissipates residual energy, while shell spider silk articulation ensures the wearer moves with the fluid lethality expected of a Death Trooper. Each system is hardened against ion warfare with reinforced duraplast and active de-ionizers. Circuits are lined with terentatek microfibers to frustrate Force users. Finally, virtually all of the armor is treated with Anti-Corr 113 for operational longevity in any environment.

Beneath the outer shell of reinforced cortosis and durasteel, the Tarkin-Imperial Death Trooper armor incorporates a layered stealth architecture of such sophistication that the armor can become functionally invisible across the entire spectrum of detection. A Skuggalegt P-pattern stealth polymer undercoat, synthesized from Stygian-triprismatic polymer, reflec, shadowskin, nightshadow, and shadowsilk, renders the suit nearly imperceptible to sensors and scanners while providing very high EMP/ion protection, overlaid with a photo-reactive coating of synthetic photosensitive crystals that warp ambient light to provide optical camouflage. Mirror construction woven into the bodyglove masks lifesigns from electronic detection, while D-baffling eliminates extraneous sound and a thermoguard system maintains external temperature equal to the environment, defeating infrared and thermal imaging. A Blue Witch sensor jammer masks the armor and its wearer from all electronic surveillance including sophisticated security holocams, and embedded within the chestplate rests a taozin skin nodule, an organic stealth component capable of clouding Force senses so completely that Inquisitors, Jedi, Sith, and trained Force-sensitives might find themselves grasping at empty space. In this, the Tarkin-Imperial Death Trooper armor is designed to virtually erase itself from existence, leaving virtually nothing for enemies to see, hear, sense, or pursue.

The Tarkin-Imperial Death Trooper Armor is a weapon of assassination and denial, fielded when the Initiative requires an obstacle to cease existing with extreme prejudice. Its operator is expected to engage Jedi and Sith alike, walk through saturation bombardment, and operate in vacuum or chemical weapons strikes without degradation of capability. The armor's few vulnerabilities to tensor weapons and radiological attack are closely held operational secrets, and Death Troopers so equipped are briefed to prioritize such threats for immediate termination. Nevertheless, the Tarkin-Imperial Death Trooper Armor is the Empire made manifest on the individual level: overwhelming, relentless, and utterly without mercy!
