Strengths:
- Durable : Every layer of the armor system is made with Iridonian Damascus, a highly radiation resistant metal of considerable strength. The exterior of the armor is then wrapped in a shell of resilient Phrik plating to provide a considerable amount of protection from blaster weapons as well as the formidable number of Lightsabers throughout the galaxy.
- Down isn't always Out : While the system is susceptible to EMP and Ion interface, many key systems have either backup battery packs, or deionization scrubbers.
- Mobility : The Armor system itself is rather heavy at over 20 kilograms, but the weight is well distributed over the user's body to allow a level of dexterity well beyond many heavier armor styles. This coupled with the rapid movement granted by the ODM System makes the wearer a startlingly agile opponent.
- Stealth : The inclusion of the Phantasm Class cloak affords the Operator not only protection from most scanner technology, but also offers optical camouflage.
- Powered : It's power armor.
Weaknesses:
- Achilles Heel : The Omnidirectional Mobility (ODM ) System has no Ion shielding or scrubbers of any kind. A sufficient Ion blast will render the system useless, and effectively removes the main aspect of one of the system's strengths. The only saving grace in such a situation is that the ODM System has a replacement power cell that is capable of reactivating the device. However, it's nearly impossible for the person using the system to replace their own power cell in an active combat situation. Furthermore, should a cable be damaged to the point of uselessness the complexity of the winch system makes their replacement difficult, if not impossible, in the field.
- Obvious Weak Points : While much of the armor system is covered in high quality, and extremely durable armor plating, some areas are clearly not as thoroughly protected. The thighs, upper arms, and neck for example have only the protection of the armored body glove. While these areas are likely to survive a glancing hit, it wouldn't take much to exploit these clearly less armored areas.
- Fragility : The obvious glare with the ODM System aside, the VMA also sports a very fragile primary defense. It's camouflage system is highly susceptible to damage, which can cause it to cease to function.
DESCRIPTION:
Zenva, with her atypical gadget observed enthusiasm, has sat down at last to create a proper armor system for herself. Drawing inspiration from the Infamous Mandalorians', as well a few nefarious sources, The Vrotoa Matron's Armor System is uniquely designed to maximize Zenva's personal combat style. Flexibility, and Endurance. To adapt to and overcome any obstacle, or situation. These are the keys to any soldier's survival, and such is the focus of The Matron's personal armor system.
As with any major undertaking, this project started with a solid foundation. An Iridonian Damascus, a highly radiation resistant metal alloy with a tensile strength comparable to Durasteel, and ceramic weave form the protective shell of The Matron's environmentally sealed Body Glove. Beneath the Body Glove's resilient outer layer is a network of Sealing Foam veins, ensuring that any damage to the suit is likely to be close in short order. Additionally, the Body Glove features an intricate ThermalGel system, regulating not only the Armor systems but also the Operator's temperatures.
Atop this foundation is the actual brilliance of The Vrotoa Matron's Armor System, the software and systems. The mind being the most dangerous weapon in a soldiers arsenal, Zenva began with her new helmet. From a base template in the form of her "Hunter Vision Suite", Zenva added a number of personal modifications. A new Lifeform Scanner was added, and a relatively simple addition in the form of Sonar Mapping equipment. The inclusion of the Multi-Spectral Target Assessor however was pure brilliance. It would afford the Operator the ability to use an ODM System without the need for a control chip to be surgically implanted.
For the body of the VMA, Zenva was forced to think outside her definition of "the box". The propose of armor is to increase one's survivability. To this Zenva designed armor plates to sheath herself in, resilient Iridonian Damascus to form the meat of her Armor, and a skin of infamous Phrik to protect her from the growing hordes of Saber Jockeys. A power pack system, life support unit, and a shield unit are essential systems, and must be protected. A Combat De-Ionizer was added quickly thereafter to ensure that these system return to working order efficiently.
From there Zenva's mind turned to more, predictor inclinations. Her Armor must be able to take down prey. Mobility and the ability to ambush. Zenva's recently released ODM System was a true catalyst for the creation of the VMA System. The ODM in conjunction with Jet-Thrusters in the boots offered supreme maneuverability. The Phantasm Class Cloak granted a unique ability to pick the moment of attack. Crushguants, weapon mounts, and wrist blades all help to ensure lethality in close quarters.
Finally Zenva ensured she had access to all her favorite toys. Weapon mounts, ammunition and grenade pouches. Extra supplies and finishing touches such as the Beckon Call, and Magno-Grip Soles were added to the Matron's tastes. Finally content with her design, she ordered it assembled, and began training with the prototype immediately.
