 | Technical Name: Customized Phase VII Stormtrooper Armor Manufacturer: Imperial Department of Military Research Model: Modified Stormtrooper Armor Ownership: Katarina Forge Composition: Armorplast, polymerized cermet composite, zersium-impregnated ballistic gel, armorweave. Classification: Body armor Weight: 12 kg Description: Though Kat stopped wearing her crimson Knight armor, she pieced together a new outfit to suit her needs - and when she returned to the Knights, she modified it again to fall within regulations. The basic components are refurbished old model Imperial Stormtrooper armor, though she's added to it and modified it extensively over the years to the point where it's barely recognizable as such. It is a form-fitting suit of molded crimson plating over a black body glove. |
- Composite Plating: These composite plates are remarkably flexible, which enables individual armor plates to survive better under an impact. This absorbs kinetic energy and increases operator survivability in close-contact situations. The flexibility reduces injury caused by shockwaves from explosions and concussive devices as well, as the very nature of the design prohibits it from transferring energy as directly into the wearer as solid plates would. Their flexibility does not prevent these plates from being quite hard and resilient, however. They are coated on both sides with a thin laminate of armorplast, which offers additional protection from both energy weapons and projectiles - even able to deflect blaster bolts. The core of the plates are interlocking millimeter-sized hexes of titanium cermet bonded together with a flexible, elastic polymer for maximum durability and flexibility.
The plating can absorb two-three rifle shots in a location and even one-two cannon shots. - Cyricept Personal Concealment System, Mark IX: Rather than the body glove in common use by the Imperial Stormtroopers, Katarina employs something much more useful to someone in her line of work - a stealth suit. While it does little to conceal her if she has the plating attached, unless she's camouflaged the plating, when she detaches the plates it enables her to travel practically invisibly.
When activated, the Mark IX is able to bend different kinds of waves, including light, sound, and electromagnetic, around itself making the suit and its wearer essentially invisible. Even when the cloaking device is not activated the suit and mask are also able to raise or lower the emitting temperatures to match those around it, making the suit invisible to thermal sensors and preventing the water vapor in the wearer's breath from condensing in cold temperatures.
The middle layer of the system is packets of zersium-impregnated reactive ballistic gel sandwiched between layers of armorweave.
There is also a survival suit built into the system, and it includes a breath filter that can filter atmosphere indefinitely (provided there is sufficient oxygen in the atmosphere) or provide breathable atmosphere (as when in a vacuum or other oxygen-depleted environment) for up to an hour before the rebreather's power cell wears out. The breath filter typically links to a helmet, but can also link with an inflatable bubble helmet that stows away in the wearer's collar.
The armorweave is able to take one or two blaster shots and glancing blows from lightsabers, while the ballistic gel is able to absorb two-three blaster shots in a minute thanks to the zersium and extensive punishment from physical attacks and concussive blasts thanks to its pseudo-fluid nature. - Helmet Package: The helmet includes multi-spectrum imagers and a heads-up display capable of interfacing with most weapon systems. It provides a targeting assist by painting a reticule on the HUD, and with the multi-spectrum imagers it has the ability to see through smoke, darkness, and other low-vis conditions. The helmet also has advanced breath filters, a built-in comlink with encryption and multi-band communication capabilities, and a voice-amplifier. It also has automatic polarizing anti-flash lenses that protect against intense glare and sonic filters that protect against intense, loud, and debilitating sounds.
