- Helmet: Forged from Cortosis and with a few integrated systems such as electrobinoculars, a comm-unit, a scrambler, and an advanced rebreather, in addition to alchemical enhancements and a flash visor makes for a formidable helmet. It also features inscriptions in Kittat laced with alchemical salt that produce a red glow in response to the presence of the Force.
- Robe: Made primarily of Armorweave with Zeyd-Cloth lining and imbued with Sith Alchemy to mirror the characteristics of a Cloak of Hate, the robe adorning the armor acts as the first line of defense and is great at repelling environmental effects and can even hold up somewhat against Force Lightning as well as giving a minor power boost to the wearer if said wearer draws upon the Dark Side of the Force.
- Gauntlets/Claws: Integrated wrist blasters and microsensory mesh gloves, all of which are protected by Phrik plating, comprise the gauntlets. However they also feature detachable claws which have been inscribed and empowered by Sith Alchemy, allowing for them to rend into many common metals and even assist in channeling Force powers such as Force Lightning.
- Boots: Plated in Phrik these heavy boots boast Magno-Grips and even Micro-Repulsorlifts to allow the boots to function effectively in any environment as well as allowing for very limited, and somewhat clunky, flight.
- Trinkets/Misc: Scattered across the armor are several other minor, albeit very useful, pieces of equipment such as a Taozin Amulet to mask the armor and wearer's presence in the Force as well as a Reflec coating across the armor for added stealth and an integrated power pack for the equipment.
- Made to Last: Learning from his previous armor's failings, and having access to more exotic materials than he did when he crafted his Knight armor, Darth Strosius ensured that Phrik and Cortosis would be put to use when crafting his new set of armor. Although both play fairly minor roles their added protection cannot be understated, however the vast majority of the armor's protection comes from careful layering and plating of Gammaplast and Synthmesh more so than anything else. Alchemized materials also play a major part in ensuring that the base materials have been enhanced even further.
- Practically Minded: Extra technology and additions, in particular the wrist blasters and repulsorboots, have been integrated into the armor to better equip it for a variety of battlefield situations and purposes. Despite the robe masking much of its design, the armor itself is very modern in terms of its construction and gadgetry.
- Dark Imbued: Due to a good majority of the armor being made up of materials that have been enhanced by Sith Alchemy as well as other assorted rituals, this armor is heavily steeped and seeped in the Dark Side. A Sith wearer would find their power and connection to the Force greatly boosted, perhaps even granting them access to abilities that they may have yet to fully master.
- Weighed Down: The armor itself is heavy and difficult to move around in for most people, with only those using techniques such as Force Body or those that generally have some form of enhanced strength being able to properly use it.
- Blinded by the Light: Due to the Dark Side imbuement, any use of Force Light can easily disrupt and negate the user's Force powers and connection for a short time to a slightly greater degree than normal.
- Nothing without the Power: Although not entirely reliant upon the Alchemized materials, when under any sort of Force Suppression/Force Nullification effects the majority of the armor's materials are noticeably weaker and more easily damaged. Not to mention the actual power boost they offer is rendered null and void.
After the battle for Fiviune and the subsequent ending of the Ouroboros Crisis, Darth Strosius would be left to assist in scouring and purging the remnants of the Tsis'Kaar. Amidst the final days of the Crisis, he would begin settling into his new role as a Sith Lord now that his master had been felled. Without direct oversight and with access to Tsis'Kaar material reserves he set to work forging and crafting his new armor alongside his cult's small collection of Sith. Armed with a plethora of new alchemical tricks and rituals, more exotic materials than he could have imagined, and experience from his existing Knight armor, he created his new regalia to mark himself as a proper Sith Lord.
Having it enhance his Force abilities and powers was a natural need of course but he also wanted more physical trinkets and trappings, finding his own abilities and weaponry to be somewhat lacking in certain situations that were all too common for his liking. General equipment improvement was good but the addition of wrist blasters and repulsorboots helped to offer more utility that his previous armor had been lacking due to his limited materials and knowledge at the time.
Additional options for stealth such as a Taozin Amulet and Reflec coating, claws that could channel Force Lightning and other powers as well as offer a more physical method of attack that was bolstered by his enhanced strength, and of course the addition of lightsaber resistant materials were also great boons to the armor. The robe itself was a masterpiece of his own design, with its powers and style mimicking robes and cloaks of Sith long past in order to showcase his personal love for ancient Sith culture and items. Overall a fitting and protective armor for a new Sith Lord.
