Intent: To help Veino survive an ever increasingly dangerous galaxy, improve his standard results in lightsaber duels, and give him something physical to work for as a reward for personal growth. Also to create a more visible display of the Jensaarai and strengthen their identity as a unique culture.

(Cortosis) The First Step Homewards: http://starwarsrp.ne...in-miningsteal/
(Construction): To Become a Defender: http://starwarsrp.ne...ome-a-defender/ (Armor completed, story still ongoing)
Manufacturer: Veino Garn
Model: n/a
Affiliation: Veino Garn
Modularity: Nope
Production: Unique
Material: Duraplast shell, armorweave hauberk and pant underlay, cortosis fiber embedded as a layer in the duraplast
Description:
This armor is traditional Jensaarai armor constructed by Veino Garn. It is composed of an assortment of pieces that layer and go together, similar to medieval plate armor, which is used as the template for this armor.
The first layer is simply a tunic and pants combination to prevent chafing and as a last-ditch barrier in case the rest of the armor is punctured.
The second layer is essentially an armorweave hauberk and tight pants to go over the first layer as additional protection, mainly against blaster bolts and the occasional glancing blow from a lightsaber that might slip through the cracks between plates.
The third layer is constructed of duraplast plates with embedded cortosis fibers.
Starting from the top, this includes a helmet with three horns to resemble a reek, and a t-visor not unlike those of Mandalorian helmets. The shoulders are covered by pauldrons with slightly curved horns extending upwards to just above the bottom of the helmet to catch blades aiming to decapitate him. The arms are covered by upper and lower rerebrace that strap on over the armorweave, with the back end of the lower rerebrace extending up past the elbow for some extra protection, but leaves the back side of the arm exposed.There are no plates for wrist or elbow protection to maintain arm flexibility. His hands are covered by gauntlets with thinner duraplast, making them slightly more vulnerable to slugs, since slugs are not impacted by cortosis.
The main torso protection is in the form of a cuirass of plates that lead into a skirt-like fauld to protect the hips. This is where most of the armor is concentrated, with the thickest duraplast and most of the cortosis fiber is focused, leaving the limbs with the least protection to gain some extra measures of mobility.
The legs are protected by cuisses on the upper leg, very thin knee guards over the gap between, and then greaves extending down to the feet, where they joined with sabatons to cover the feet while vaguely boot-shaped.
A utility belt is worn around the waist to hold medical supplies, field rations, several pouches of durasteel spheres, and simple repair tools. The helmet has a built in comlink to allow him to communicate with allies without yelling through his helmet. It is also sealed and includes a rebreather system to allow him to work in toxic atmospheres.
The areas protected by the cortosis are the head, torso, shoulders, upper and lower arms, waist, upper and lower leg, and feet. The elbows, wrists, neck, and knees are unprotected by cortosis, with the knees having only a thin covering of duraplast. The cortosis is an inlaid layer within the duraplast itself, so when a lightsaber cuts through the first fifty thousandths of the total thickness, it hits the cortosis and deactivates. That location is then vulnerable to blaster bolts damaging the cortosis.
While weighing less than what many soldiers carry into the field and the excellent weight distribution made available by spreading the weight completely around the body makes this armor flexible enough that a non-Force user would find it exceedingly easy to use, there is a distinct lack of mobility for a Force user used to fighting in nothing more than shirt and pants. It is still flexible and mobile enough for some small acrobatics, but Veino won't be doing any high speed acrobatics.
The helmet is not anchored and could, as shown in the novel "I, Jedi" be skewed sideways to block vision completely. The three horns offer convenient handles for such a tactic.
Classification: multipurpose
Weight: 19 kg
Quality: 8
Special Features: Deactivates lightsaber blades if they come in contact with the cortosis covered sections. Force attuned in a process similar to a lightsaber, giving the armor a slight Force signature, and slightly increasing Veino's Force sensitivity and control. Comlink built inside helmet. Atmospheric filter and seal to maintain breathable environment.
