- Base layer of the armor is a light undersuit that is resistant to blasters and low power kinetics such as knives and low caliber weapons. This serves as the base layer of protection that is able to act as a basic pressure suit able to allow a person to enter vacuum. The construction of the body glove also provides protections from Ion weapons to internal systems, acidic environments, sonic weapons, and basic protections against blast and radiation. This body glove has been made to have more elasticity than standard body gloves due to the natural existence of the sheer amount of hair on wookiees.
- Second layer of the powered armor contains the FM-003, which is an artificial muscle mass which gives the armor more flexibility than standardized servo motors and other standard forms of locomotion. This layer also doubles as another protective layer of soft armor, allowing for the bundles of FM-003 to absorb blaster and kinetic weapons fire. This is significantly stronger than the body glove, but also doesn't protect against other hazards.
- Outer shell of the armor contains the plating of Phrik-A and Duraplast-E composite plates. These are meant to be extremely strong and durable armor plates capable of not only deflecting lightsaber blows, but also straight up blocking them. The plates are constructed by utilizing a base plate of Phrik-A with a layer of Duraplast-E.
- Helmet is connected to an isolated air supply to offer air in contaminated zones. This is augmented by allowing the helmet to circulate outside air through the breathing apparatus, utilizing various osmotic field filters that only allow specific air particulates through.
- Suit is powered by an extensive capacitor system that is based on the same capacitors utilized with Isotope-5A reactor technology. However the reactors themselves are not present due to the requirement of force dead materials in construction and sensitive nature of the reactors.
- Artificial muscle mass offers a 200% increase in strength of the operator, even scaling for the intended wookiee this is gifted to.
- Quick Doff system utilizes a manual disconnect system to various armor pieces. This allows the operator to, at any point in time, immediately pop an emergency hatch on the armor itself, yank an emergency FM-003 Cable connected to all the major pieces of armor, allowing for a quick escape from armor that's been disabled. This allows the operator to at any point should the armor become a hazard to their safety to quickly get it off and get themselves away from it.
- Helmet utilizes standardized flash shielding technology to prevent the wearer from being blinded from bright flashes occurring in front of them. This allows them to remain able to see regardless of flash based offensive weapons designed to disorient, confuse, and/or blind the operator.
- Suit utilizes ear protection designed to counteract hazardously loud noises from the wearer, making them able to hear and otherwise communicate without said noises getting in the way. This is performed by a series of sensors located in the helmet of the armor that send out small waves of sound to counteract the incoming sound waves of the hazardous noise.
- Various armor plates across the suit have a small internal aerosol compartment capable of storing various aerosol based components. This can range from airborne toxins and biological agents, to standard smoke screens, to highly acidic airborne compounds.
- Transmitter for the suit constantly projects a jamming/hacking signal. This signal serves one of two purposes, the first being the jamming of oncoming guided munitions against the wearer of this suit. It does this by attempting to tune into the guidance signal and throwing a bunch of junk communications at the munition to either disrupt the guidance or disarm the warhead. Secondly it targets security and surveillance systems to tap into the communications network to essentially disrupt any kind of cameras currently viewing the operator.
- Suit features an automated medical system that monitors all of the vitals of the user. This includes any trauma the user receives, stresses they may be under, various nervous and chemical responses, even the user's blood sugar and hydration levels. This allows for the suit to administer various stims, depressants, medical treatments to wounds from bacta injections/sprays to causing both the actual and artificial muscles around the wound to flex to form a temporary seal, to even just offering/reminding the user to drink water/nutrient slurry developed for field combat use. There's even an automated defibrillator placed in the chest incase the user's heart stops, however it will have to deploy specialized barbs to the user's skin to deliver the electrical charge.
- Combat De-Ionizers and Faraday cages located at key points across the armor to help deal with EMP/Ion threats. This allows the suit to operate in low level Ion/EMP fields and allow it to recover from being shut down by Ion/EMP weapons and not be totally fried.
- Right arm comes standard with a retractable Phrik-A blade that can be set to protrude at the elbow or wrist of the operator. This option can also be removed in lieu of other additions to the armor (such as flamers, blasters, or other various tech pieces).
- Helmet features an integrated commlink, which also syncs up with the suit commlink to allow the transmission and reception of various types of communication, including encrypted transmissions via the holonet. This also allows for the operator to encrypt the transmissions before transmission.
- Armor specifically made to allow for the addition of many types of belts, bandoliers, harnesses, and other external items allowing for the wearer to utilize the increased weight capacity of their newfound strength.
- Extensively strong: This suit is designed to not only be extremely strong both in lifting capacity, but also able to take serious amounts of punishment. The Phrik-A composite plating of this suit is rated for sustained lightsaber combat, even capable of withstanding multiple hits from a standard disruptor pistol. And while not invincible, this armor is strong enough to move massive weight and take a lot of damage before calling it quits.
- Not Force restrictive: This armor was specifically designed to not have any force dead materials or any materials period that inhibit force abilities. This ensures that the wearer of the armor will have complete access to any force abilities possible while wearing the armor without modifications.
- Built for close combat: This armor's construction utilizing artificial muscle mass, armor plates, and offering more flexibility and freedom of movement makes this armor perfect for close combatants. This allows for the operator of this armor to fight almost as though as they are unrestricted while the armor is powered.
- EMP/Ion protection is light: This suit is definitely not rated for the more hardcore Ion/EMP weapons that are able to shoot much higher power shots. While it protects against more hostile environments that are designed to negate technology, or area of effect based attacks, it does not offer enough protection against focused high power Ion/EMP attacks.
- Gaps in armor plating: This armor has many gaps in the armor plating, meaning that at range or even using a more accurate weapon up close you can aim for these gaps. This will take advantage of the fact that the layers underneath the armor had less protection and are easier to penetrate and cause damage.
- Suit is really heavy when disabled: This suit when the artificial muscle is disabled becomes extremely heavy and restrictive to the wearer. This is due to the extreme weight of the artificial muscle mass, and all of the armor components now resting directly on the wearer.
- Not Force Protective either: This armor offers little to no protection from the Force. This leaves it up to the wearer to defend themselves against such attacks.
One of many side projects intended for one of the many more exotic species of the galaxy, Wookiee Combat armor is designed to augment a Wookiee's natural abilities. This is due to the suit's construction utilizing the artificial musculature material FM-003, alongside many other technologies already developed and fielded in other combat suits. The main issue being presented with this suit is Wookiee's natural size, their prevalent shaggy hair, and their lanky builds would present many issues during development. The decision was made early on in the suit's production to make it more robust and durable by removing more fragile technology pieces such as the Isotope-5A reactor, instead opting for a capacitor system. This coupled with a more simple, albeit still extremely durable armor system consisting of two layers of "soft" armor, and the outer shell consisting of Phrik-A and Duraplast-E plates to provide extreme levels of protection against most active threats encountered on the battlefield. Unfortunately due to the necessitation of ability to be used by a possibly force sensitive, and the durability requirements necessitated the removal of several technologies from the suit. This however has been rectified by using modified materials, more general purpose available materials and otherwise placing an emphasis on strength and durability of the suit. Otherwise this suit has been modified to the extreme to serve as a test bed for a variety of custom technologies that were included by request from the buyer. These technologies are still in the developmental and research stages, but Freebirds Industries hopes to take the proof of concepts in this suit and turn them into actual marketable technologies.
