- Integrated Holographic Disguise Matrix. A circular device located near the collar area of the armor clips the hood closed, and is also a holographic disguise matrix. The device is not as effective as it's larger counterparts, but is still capable of disguising it's wearer's head to look like another species or individual.
- Integrated Stealth Field Generator. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Reaper Garb is an ultrachrome belt worn around the waist. On the outside, it just looks like a common belt, but on the inside it houses two different technologies. The first half of the belt can generate a stealth field, obscuring light and sound around Soto, and mimicking the Force Cloak power. Using this feature of the belt causes a one post 'cooldown' of all belt functions.
- Integrated Personal Energy Field. The opposite side of the ultrachrome belt houses personal energy field technology. The device can create a thin light blue 'bubble' of energy around it's user, protecting them temporarily from incoming attacks, somewhat mimicking the Force Barrier power. On the downside, attacks cannot exit the barrier either, giving it purely defensive use. Using this feature of the belt causes a one post 'cooldown' of all belt functions.
STRENGTHS
- Exotic Technologies. A singular device which can generate a personal stealth or energy field is quite exotic in most parts of the galaxy. This particular belt is quite unique in that it possesses no physical buttons on the actual device. Instead, the ability to access it's functions is triggered by a neural link between Soto's droid brain and the belt.
- Very Defensive. There is a generous amount of ultrachrome plates imbedded in the chest, stomach, back, upper arm, and upper leg area of the armor. Additionally, armorweave and ironweave makes up all fabric pieces across the armor, covering all areas the plates don't.
- Incredibly Light. While ultrachrome can be heavy in large volumes, the armorweave and ironweave still represents the majority of the armor. Thanks to this fact, the armor is very light and flexible, allowing it's wearer to still preform various acrobatic maneuvers.
WEAKNESSES
- Exotic Weaknesses. Though the armored plates and fabrics provide a significant deal of protection against blaster, kinetic, and lightsaber technologies, the armor is quite weak against exotic forms of weaponry. Sonic weapons have an easy time making it's way through the armorweave, and ultrachrome plates are easily rattled by the weapons. Disruptor technology also has an easy time making its way through fabrics. Finally, the armor has openings that provide no defense against radiation, something capable of frying Soto's internal power cells.
- Gaping Holes. The Reaper Garb is by no means 'air-tight' or fully concealing. The hand, feet, and face areas of the armor lack any sort of coverage at all. These create easy targets for those wanting to avoid the armor completely, but are necessary openings so S0-T0 can use his various arm modifications.
- Important Focal point. The main features of the armor are located within the ultrachrome belt, and surprisingly, it can be manually removed. A clever opponent with skills in pickpocketing or stealth might be able to remove the belt from the armor. This would leave the wearer without it's stealth or energy shield generators.
After Soto's fight in the Damascus Station dueling ring, he would be approached by a fan from the audience shortly after. It was an engineer from Czerka industries, Kullis Revar, a secret supporter of the Sith Order as a whole. Though the man was impressed with Soto's fighting abilities, he suggested the dark lord would be far more powerful with a proper suit of armor. With a successful sales pitch, S0-T0 would accept the man's offer, and pay him a handsome sum of credits.
Only a couple weeks after the commissioning of his armor, the engineer would reach out to Soto. He would then present him with the Reaper Garb. This set of armor looked strikingly similar to his old sith robes, but with armored plates and a few new tricks installed. In truth, Kullis knew Soto was a droid, but was curious to see just how far this "Droid Sith" could take his masquerade. The man would be watching the droid's work closely from then on.
