DESCRIPTION
An upgraded version of the V-3, the Elite are more powerful and durable than their forbearers, excepting the V-2. The Elite have been upgraded with greater armor and stronger mechanisms. The power is no longer supplied by a battery but by a scaled down generator that can supply power for general movement and combat for ten hours. Excessive maneuvering or power usage can drain the generator far more quickly and require a core resupply sooner.
The important part of this upgrade is the decision to step away from the almost complete conversion that was evidenced in V-3 and to a lesser extent V-2. The Elite instead relies upon a basic amputation of limbs and removal of the majority of internal organs. The torso and head are left almost entirely intact with advanced cybernetic implantation being the main method of interfacing with the mechanical body. The collection of wiring, microcomputers, and systems make the Elite susceptible to electronic warfare. In order to mitigate the danger of such weapons, the Elite have been outfitted with a shield emitter that covers the entirety of the armor and grants limited protection against blasters.
The armor is made of one quarter inch Duranium, enough under most circumstances to protect against most projectiles. Underneath the outer armor, mechanical inner workings are constructed so as to have an increased strength when compared to the majority of organics. This first allows the unit to move about with relative ease, even given its thick armor, but also makes the unit capable of more impressive physical feats. The mechanisms allow for more space for internal mechanisms related to computing and power. The armor has space for a single wrist mounted weapon or tech piece on the left arm. The rear wing like constructs on its back contain small repulsor coils that allow the unit to ‘fly’ for short duration. The coils allow a high jump or longer period levitation, the drain on the power is large and requires a long cooldown between uses.
The various implants as part of the augmentation process, increase the mental speed of the person. The person is able to interface directly with the computer and can understand most droid languages due to this. The computer allows person to utilize more computing power for purposes of their choice based on the situation, whether it be slicing into computers, calculating shot statistics, or plotting hyperspace jumps and anything in between. The computers are designed to take over control of the standard movement operations should the organic be incapacitated in any way. As with the V-3 standard, the system has a bacta injection system to keep the organic body living and well while operating. It is also intended to work alongside life support systems should any damage to the organic occur. The computers place the livelihood of the organic as highest priority and when given the option will attempt to maintain the life. These electronics as with most are capable of being manipulated by Force users using such techniques as are commonly used to affect droids electronics and wiring.
When the vitals of the organic fall beneath a certain bar, the suit takes over and puts the majority of power to the life support system while attempting to extricate from whatever situation appears to threaten the organic. If the area is found to be secure against known threats the suit will focus more power on the life support and what remains on the shields. If the vitals are stabilized the computers then attempt to contact for emergency services.
The addition of Lignan rods along the chest area are intended for Force user augmentations only. The system works similar to the Liberator concept in that it utilizes the organic’s natural Force sensitivity and augments it with the Dark Force within the rod to increase the strength of the user. It does not however allow a non-Force user to utilize Force capabilities, unlike the Liberator. The rod allows an untrained Force user to have strength usually associated with trained individuals, an unlearned person in the methods of the Force would have the strength (not control) of a person with beginner training in Force usage. While trained individuals will be capable of utilizing their abilities with less drain on their own person. This allows the person to accomplish tasks with only half the effort, which can help the individual in longer confrontations. As with the Liberator, the device draws power from the user, which can quickly tire the organic to the point of complete exhaustion if not careful.
