STRENGTHS

• Lightweight: Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor is quite lightweight, allowing its user to wear it for extended periods of time without suffering discomfort or stamina fatigue
• Stealthy: Thanks to its inbuilt Sound-Baffling System, Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor is exceptionally quiet
• Endurance: Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor comes equipped with a large amount of Armorweave Storage Pouches, allowing its users to carry large amounts of supplies and equipment with them
• Protective: For armor so light, Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor provides its users with a fair amount of protection, especially against energy, kinetic, environmental and sonic based attacks
• Reconnaissance: Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor is especially well suited for scouting and reconnaissance, allowing its user to gather and report data while remaining undetected

WEAKNESSES

• Limited coverage: Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor only provides limited body coverage, keeping key areas of the body exposed
• Reflective: Though the armor is incredibly quiet, is is generally NOT coated in Reflec, limiting stealth capabilities against sensors
• Non-huMan: Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor cannot be worn by alien species, even humanoid ones
• Expensive: Even with Reflec coating, Tempest-class Storm Commando Armor is quite expensive to produce and manufacture, limiting its overall deployment

DESCRIPTION

Mahporeenian Storm Commandos are known to use a number of different patterns of their iconic armor, with the most recent variant being the Tempest-class. Tempest-class Storm Commando armor is, like all other examples of the armor, both incredibly lightweight and durable, thanks to its combination of composite laminate materials, armorweave and plastoid. Tempest-class Storm Commando armor also comes fully equipped with numerous armorweave storage pouches, a built in sound dampening system and a helmet mounted breath mask, comlink and integrated heads up display (HUD).

Unlike other examples of Storm Commando armor, however, the Tempest-class armor is not coated in Reflec, limiting the armor's overall stealth capabilities. Tempest-class Storm Commando armor also has rather poor body coverage, much like Scout Trooper armor is less protective than standard Scout Trooper armor.

That being said, the Tempest-class Storm Commando armor is still an impressive piece of Imperial kit, one that trades pure stealth for increased endurance and adaptability. Such armor is only ever worn by Mahporeenian Storm Commandos, and mere possession of the armor set can result in execution if held or worn by an unlicensed person or alien.
