Imperial Knight Armor (Female)​

The standard issue armor presented to Imperial Knights upon completion of their initial acceptance into the organisation. The red armor is specifically designed to be uniform in nature similar to other military branches uniforms. Imperial Knights often supplement their standard set of armor with a helmet that comes as standard issue, though wearing it is optional and most choose to go without it. (Though the environment suit is next to useless without the enclosed helmet.)

The standard issue Imperial Knight armor consists of segmented duraplast armor plating that covers the chest, abdomen, mid/upper back, and shoulders, as well as Phrik bracers that cover the forearms and top of the hands to protect against the lightsaber of their foe whether that be Jedi or Sith. An armorweave hooded cape is often worn which can protect against shrapnel from explosives as well as other unpowered high velocity impacts in a pinch.

The standard issue Imperial Knight armor is designed for full function in a wide variety of worlds, Imperial and otherwise. There is no knowing where an Imperial Knight might meet their foe in the galaxy, with many worlds being inhospitable. An environment suit is worn under the armor, which paired with the helmet's filter function allows for nearly indefinite operation on toxic worlds, though there is still a limited operation times in more caustic environments. The helmet rebreather allows for short operations underwater and thermal vision modes allow the Imperial Knight to function against their foes in the dead of night or other unlit environments.

In the event of possible EVA operations, assuming there is time to plan ahead, an Imperial knight might swap out the environment suit and filter function to utilize a vac-seal suit and life-support box instead to give them the functionality of an armored flight suit. Some Imperial Knights opt to strip the suit down to it's bare armor without increased functionality, seeing the gizmos and gadgets as insignificant compared to the power of the force. So long as the visible conformity of the armor remains Imperial Knights are generally allowed to tailor the functionality of their armor to suit their personal style of operation and combat.

LEGALITY​

Functions​

Function 1: Armorweave Accessory (Hooded Cape)

• Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armour, armour 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: Environment Suit

• While it is not rated for extended exposure to extreme hazards, this body suit (when combined with an enclosed helmet) can protect the wearers body from the effects of environmental and weaponized toxins and similar hazards for up to 5 posting rounds.
• Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 3: Rebreather (w/helmet only)

• Rebreathers allow for a person to survive underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath. Generally this lasts for 3-4 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
• Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 4: Filter (w/helmet only)

• Filters are bulky attachments to a helmet, or function as part of a mask, that filter out environmental contaminants such as smoke or most toxins. They are susceptible to caustic substances and damage.
• Force User Compatible?: Yes

Function 5: Thermal Vision Mode (w/helmet only)

• This Allows a Helmet HUD to cycle to low-light OR thermal vision modes.
• Force User Compatible?: Yes
