FUNCTIONS​

Function 1: Armorweave Accessory (throughout)

• Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armor, armor weave provides some protection against the penetrating effects of shrapnel from explosives and other unpowered high velocity impacts, with only a small amount of bleed through damage (bruising or very minor wounds). It offers no protection against kinetic impact or energy, vibroweapons, or similar "powered" weapons. Having more than one accessory (example: Cape + underweave) provides no additional effect.
• Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 2: Inertial dampeners (beneath covered areas)

• Integrated Inertial dampeners help reduce impacts imparted wearers body, situated under the armor panels, they help the absorb the shock of weapon impact through the armor and most other forms of blunt force trauma, for example, a fall or impact that might have fractured bones would only give them intense bruising.
• Force User Compatible?: No

DESCRIPTION​

The Perlemian Trade Group or just "The Trade Group" has solidified their military strength as of late. Many of their funds have gone into improving the equipment and gear their members use on the day to day. A common sight among their ranks are the Vanguard, an infantry unit specializing in extremely hazardous situations. Trade Group service members usually first serve in the Vanguard before choosing a specific career path like Black Ops or joining the Skyborne Corps. There are several iterations and design variations that can be seen in use by current Trade Group officers.

The Vanguard armor primarily relies on its coverage of armor to protect its wearer. Each of the suits can be customized for mission specific needs. A vanguard trooper's body is protected by armorweave and relatively thin protective padding wherever there are not armor plates. This helps against some environmental threats or hostile attacks and work in concert with functions that work in vacuum to prevent the loss of breathable air. Inertial dampeners were added to the design to help mitigate injuries when traveling at high speeds though it also serves to protect the wearer when directly engaging with an enemy. The, third, fourth and fifth function are often selected based off th mission requirements.
