Intent: To create a basic civilian armor
Development Thread: If Required
Manufacturer: Ceredir Industries
Model: Tirenhen
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: Minor - plates can be replaced
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Armorweave, terenthium-desh alloy, carbon fiber polymer, mylox fiber, general padding
Classification: Multipurpose
Weight: 1.5 kg
Quality: 3
Special Features:
- Blaster resistant
- Slugthrower resistant
- Somewhat slash-resistant (much more so on plates as opposed to fabric)
- Added survivability - the plating, combined with the fabric itself, increases survivability of a hit
- Torso sides vulnerable
- Not effective against lightsabers
- Mass Produced - Wearing the wrong size or loosely will negatively affect effectiveness
- Weak points - Plates that could have been present have been left out to reduce weight
- Kinetic damage - A hit from a weapon with kinetic effect will transfer a significant amount of that kinetic energy
Insert Tirenhen. Created for civilians to add a bit of extra protection for uncertain times. Designed for children and adults, the torso armor features terenthium-desh alloy and carbon-fiber polymer strike plates backed by armorweave and is capable of stopping a glancing hit or strongly mitigating a direct hit by blaster or slugthrower. While relatively protective for civilian-grade gear, it is civilian-grade, and should not be treated as military armor by any means. This will not stop or slow a lightsaber blade, nor does it provide much protection against kinetic force.
War can be ugly, and Audren realizes this. Attacks among civilian populations are getting more and more common, and while he couldn't provide a way to stop that, he could limit the damage. The Tirenhen armor is a step in that direction. The armorweave fabric contains mylox fibers for added resistance to blaster bolts. The chest and back each have a terenthium-desh plate for protection against direct hits to the most vital areas. Angled carbon fiber polymer plates aim to deflect rather than stop incoming fire. Important to note is the fact that the armor is designed for the basic humanoid body: head, two arms, and a torso, with the torso containing the major organs; the lack of side panels however means there is some flexibility available.
The armor is sold not far above the cost to manufacture, the unusually low profit margin an attempt to allow more beings to afford it. Ceredir Industries is willing to partner with local, planetary, or system-wide governments to spread these to the civilians of the galaxy, to provide the safeguard to those who need it.
