Thresco
Mando Jedi
- Intent: Though initially made to be your standard Mandalorian bounty hunter / hunter armor, much of the armor has been repurposed due to spending several years in exile within the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk. Forcing him to rely on the Force over his technology, as well as on his lightsaber over his pistols, certain portions had to be replaced to allow for more nimble movement and overall maneuverability. Combining the appearance of Jedi robes with Beskar and a customized Mandalorian helmet, few would not be able to tell that it belonged to a Mandalorian warrior.

The personal armor of Thresco Jorr, the Vsin'ah Beskar'gam is a mixture of medium and heavy armor. Mixing carbonized, meshed, folded and micronized Mandalorian iron in specific spots to assure as much mobility as protection, a lot of thought had gone into it. The bodysuit to which all other portions of the armor are attached was made of mesh woven beskar, making for a durable and decently comfortable base. Every joint armor was made from carbonized beskar so as to reduce the strain on the joints on account of carbonized beskar being a lot lighter. Folded beskar was used for the arm guards, the shin guards, the boots and the exterior plating of the chest area. Due to folded beskar being the heaviest and the most durable of all kinds of Mandalorian iron, it was used in thin strips of 0.4 centimeters thick to keep the armor from weighing Thresco down.
The helmet is the most high-tech portion of the suit as it is linked directly to Torgost, the AI belonging to his ship. With a mesh woven interior to keep his head warm and comfortable, it was covered with folded beskar and fashioned into a helmet. Outfitted with a rebreather system linked to the life support in his chest armor, he is capable of breathing under water or in space for roughly 30 minutes. The visor is capable of switching between regular, infra-red and ultraviolet light and can record what Thresco sees thanks to the internal HUD that can be controlled with eye movements and blinking. Thanks to the connection with Torgost, the helmet/mask allows him to intercept com traffic and hack into it to allow others to hear him just as clearly as he can hear them. It also has a radar built into the armor that can be accessed with the HUD, allowing him to check for hidden rooms or hidden threats.
The gauntlets and boots have also been outfitted with additional perks. The gauntlets are made out of micronized beskar and a reactive fabric to enhance his hand-arm strength to the point where he can crush stone, bone and metal. The enhanced hand-arm strength and added stability for the entire arm was made for the primary reason of allowing him to fire his pistols as they cannot be fired without due to the heavy recoil. The boots have magnetized soles that can be switched on and off at will, allowing Thresco to stick to metallic surfaces should there be a need for it. The fingers and palm also have a special interface that connect to his pistols, connecting them to his HUD and keeping accurate track of how much charge remains in his Ion pistols, how many bullets he has ready, how long it will take for the gun to recharge and in which type of firing mode it is.
Strengths:
- Though initially not much to look at, the armor looks like a cross-breed of your typical Jedi robes mixed with a Mandalorian armor. Made to allow for flexibility, maneuverability and protection from the local wildlife of the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk, the armor was upgraded while using some of the fauna as inspiration. Retractable claws in the boots and gauntlets allow for added climbing capabilities while magnetized soles in the boots allow him to keep himself grounded, as well as having crushgaunt capabilities within the gauntlets in case he ever needs to hold on for dear life. Taozin nodules worked into specific portions of the armor allow him to keep himself from being tracked by Jedi and Sith alike, as well as the fearsome Terentatek that stalks force sensitive individuals through the damp and dark root systems of the Wookie homeworld. For the purpose of hunting creatures and individuals, the helmet and gauntlets were made to synch up with his specialized pistols to keep accurate track of remaining ammunition and aid in aiming.
- While still plenty durable, the carbonized mandalorian iron is more susceptible to taking damage than the folded portions as it is lighter than folded beskar. Due to the carbon being added in the forging process, it took away a bit of the structural integrity of true beskar, thus making it lighter and weaker than folded beskar. While it provided some coverage within the dark shadowlands, the dark grey and black armor makes him stand out in other portions of the galaxy. Additionally, the cloth in and around the armor might make it more susceptible to things such as fire, though the armor not possessing an over the top amount of electronics makes it better equipped to deal with EMP's.
