- Tank: The highly durable materials and the valuable gears that come with this armor provide a substantial resistance to both kinetic attacks and energy attacks. Obviously, to preserve some sort of mobility and agility, there are spots which are tougher than others such as the chest plate. More mobile parts of the human body are less protected such as places which only the verpine ultramesh covers.
- Balanced: The armor has been masterfully designed to balance as best as possible quality of defense and mobility.
- Precision guided munition launcher: Typically loaded with .50 baradium-357 HE airburst rounds, the launcher is located on the back and requires target painting by the user prior to firing. Baradium-357 explosive rounds are extremely dangerous to unshielded targets but also are able to significantly shred the shields of a target. (Damage, of course, is up to the writer on the other side of the rounds as per site rules)
- Individual Field Disruptor: A tool capable of disrupting energy shields allowing the user to bypass through also possesses a secondary function as the energy field emitted by the disruptor would release a powerful discharge if someone is to touch the user.
- Not made against glowsticks: The meager armorweave on the chest plate and the vambraces is the only minimal defence this armor set offers against lightsabers. And even then they could allow only up to glancing blows.
- Concentrated armor spots: As earlier stated, various spots on the armor are only protected by the bodyglove thus making them spots where hits could deliver damage far easier.
The X-01 was a custom order Wes' former mercenary colleagues desired from Corondex Arms. The latter which gladly delivered. The idea behind the armor was to give the user strong, capable defensive capabilities without sacrificing agility and mobility as much. Initially, the prototype of the armor was formed of much higher standard materials but due to the lack of funds from the mercenaries Corondex Arms were forced to drop the quality of X-01 to match the budget the mercenaries possessed.
The armor does not differ much from standard bounty hunter armor templates, it is slightly more advanced than generic soldier armors due to its armament capacities. The mix-and-match in the materials list you see above hints to the goal of designing a multi-purpose armor for the user. On that end, Corondex have performed quite well considering the budget they were given to work with.
All in all, the armor's goal is to give the user greater 'tanking' capabilities. Considering the mercenary company was renown for their reckless, first in the fire approach, the armor certainly came in handy to allow them to survive there where others have fallen.
