 | Technical Name: Massassi Dark Armor Manufacturer: Sith Alchemic Labs Model: Massassi Dark Armor Affiliation: Sith Empire Composition: Durasteel, obsidian, ballistic gel, armorweave, alchemical infusions Classification: Dark Armor Weight: 35 kg Description: An unholy counterpart to the white armor their Imperial counterparts wear, the armor of the Massassi Stormtroopers combines the armorer's craft with Sith alchemy. It is much heavier than the Imperial armor, being that the plating is made from obsidian-infused durasteel, but it is also quite resistant to damage. Sith Stormtroopers have a well-deserved reputation for being extraordinarily resilient on the battlefield. |
- Alchemical Infusions: The armor has a series of injectors that pump the Massassi trooper's bloodstream full of alchemical fluids to increase strength and durability, as well as lacing his air supply with gasses to increase aggression and reaction speed. The injectors operate either by command from the superiors or the trooper himself.
- Armor Plating: The durasteel is rated for six blaster pistol shots to a limb, and eight to a torso or about half as many blaster rifle shots. It is much better against slugthrowers, save for those specifically designed to penetrate armor.
- Body Glove: The body glove has zersium-impregnated ballistic gel packets providing near-total protection, the packets being sandwiched in between layers of armorweave. The gel is excellent against very nearly any melee weapon except lightsabers, while the armorweave disperses blaster bolts and even provides some protection against lightsabers.
The body glove is also environmentally sealed, providing protection against extremes of heat and cold, radiation, corrosive environments, biological, and chemical attack. - Helmet: The helmet's sensor package includes a MFTAS that provide a targeting assistance program by painting target reticules on the HUD, multi-spectrum imagers, and 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 and anti-flash lenses that protect against intense glare and sonic filters that protect against intense, loud, and disabling sounds.
Unlike their Imperial counterparts, the respirators of Massassi Stormtroopers have a decidedly audible mechanical factor to them. - Utility Belt: A high-tension wire, two grappling hooks, four spare blaster power packs, three ion flares, energy rations, a spare comlink, three water packs, two medpacs, two blast energy sinks, a thermal detonator, a combat de-ionizer, and binders.
- Backpack: In addition to the 30-minute supply of air and the power pack located in the backplate, the stormtrooper armor includes an assault pack designed to carry additional equipment necessary for particular missions. The stormtrooper backpack is rated to carry in excess of 100 kg; generally speaking, it is only the physical capabilities of the individual stormtrooper that limits it.
