TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification:
Multipurpose / Anti-Blaster / Anti-Insurgent
Weight:
Heavy
Resistances:
- Energy (Blasters): Very High
- Kinetic: High
- Lightsabers: Low
- Sonic: High
- EMP/Ion: Average (Armored systems hardened but not immune)
- Elemental (Heat/Cold): High
- Radiation/Biological: Very High (Fully sealed systems)
- Corrosive/Acidic: Low
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Sealed Life Support System (Vacuum-sealed for void, chemical, or irradiated combat zones)
- Helmet Sensor Suite
- IR/Night Vision/EM Filters
- HUD-linked squad tracking
- Active threat triangulation
- Internal Auto-Medicator (Auto-injects stimulants and coagulants upon trauma detection)
- Magnetized Grav-Boots (Silent step & zero-G support)
- Reflec Coating (Increases detection time and decreases accuracy of location detection by standard scanners)
- Encrypted Commlink with Signal Redundancy (Scrambles under jamming)
- Rebreather and Toxin Scrubber
- Retractable Visor Filters (Adaptive glare dampening and breach-flash resistance)
STRENGTHS
- Tactical Superiority in Urban/Closed Environments
Vanta-Class armor is purpose-built for CQC and corridor combat, protecting operators from concussive and directed-energy weapons common in insurgent and riot zones. - Full Sealing & Environmental Adaptability
The armor provides near-complete protection against biological, chemical, and atmospheric threats, allowing extended deployments in toxic, irradiated, or depressurized environments. - Sensor Network & Coordinated Engagement Tools
HUD-integrated software allows seamless data sharing across squads — supporting synchronized flanking, threat prioritization, and zero-verbal comms. - Reflec
Reflec while not actively messing with sensors, warps the most common electromagnetic signals used in passive sensor arrays, making just a bit more difficult to detect and just a bit more harder to pin down the user's location. These extra seconds can make or break an operation.
WEAKNESSES
- Vulnerable to Sustained Lightsaber Contact
While the armor offers basic deflection against glancing blows, it is not rated for prolonged melee or lightsaber duels. - Heavy and Heat-Retentive
Extended use can lead to operator fatigue in extreme-heat environments. The armor trades mobility for protection, limiting rapid direction changes and speed. - EMP/ION Susceptibility
Although dampened, concentrated EMP attacks can disable non-hardened external components (e.g., visor filters, HUD pings, boot magnets) until reset.
DESCRIPTION
The Vanta-Class Enclosed Combat Armor was designed not for defense — but for dominion.Conceived in exile by remnants of the Hapan 9th Internal Compliance Regiment, it reflects the psychological doctrine and battlefield realities of its creators: Strike first. Leave no witnesses. Be seen only when it's too late.
The armor's black ceramic plating is thick and unadorned, save for crimson sigils burned into each operator's helmet and chest — symbolic both of the unit's exile and the crimes that led to it. While its physical protection is formidable, its true power lies in the systematic force-multiplication: every piece is designed to reinforce squad cohesion, sensory superiority, and unflinching suppression.
In combat, operatives move silently. No voice. No chant. Only tactical pings and the ghostly sound of boots that don't echo. The armor's systems allow for breach-and-clear ops, underground sweeps, crowd panic inducement, and hardpoint control — all while masking biosigns and shielding from non-visual targeting systems.
Manufactured and maintained under contract by VesperWorks, the armor's schematics are jealously guarded. No other organization possesses the full production capability, and no member of Echelon Vanta has ever defected — or survived long enough to be interrogated.
