Ah yes, another question.

Is armorweave allowed in this timeline? And if so how many shots can it take, and how much of the body can be covered in it?

Also, is cortosis weave a thing too? I'm assuming it can only take one hit from a lightsaber if it is.

I honestly don't know much about this, but my character's both have a jacket with light armor plating sewn in. And I have it rated as two hits from a blaster and it's compromised.

Don't know if this helped, but that's all I got.

Armorweave's a type of fabric, not a plate sewn into clothing I believe.

I believe armorweave is rated for 1 or 2 shots, and not sure on the Cortosis weave.

Yo reya I believe like Carthage said armor weave can take a shot, maybe 2 if it's really thick armor weave . Also yes there is cortorsis alloys or weaves but only maybe one piece of the armor can have it and it can only be small parts (such as a gauntlet, shoulder pad, or part of a helmet). Anyone feel free to correct me though if I'm wrong lol.

Edit: Honestly this link may be more useful to you than any advice I can give lol

Not wrong. The only thing that I feel people are taking a bit wrong is that cortosis-weave was a technique that could be applied to weaponry and armor. It doesn't actually mean a weave like cloth but rather the object being inlaid with cortosis. The strength of such armor would depend on what kind of armor was being infused with cortosis. If it's some cloth weave stuff with cortosis, I personally wouldn't feel safe taking a lightsaber hit, but that's just me.
