Jak Rau's Beskar'gam

Although heavy armor is the preference for many Mandalorians- especially front line shock troopers- many Mandalorian raiders make use of lighter armor that allows them more mobility and flexibility for completing their tasks, and none are quite as quick to embrace this as the Raiders of Clan Rau. For Jak, the maneuverability is the difference between life and death, and the medium armor is a nice middle ground between protection and movement. Being a bit of a wanderer and loner, Jak enjoys the ease of maintaining this set over a heavy armor suit. Plus, heavy armor does a bit to limit the wrist movement, and if he can't move his wrist as well in that armor, then it's just not a good armor in his eyes.

LEGALITY

Mandalorian armor- typically defined as anything bearing the cultures iconic T-visor- has been banned in Sith space as a part of the Mandalorian Cultural Repression laws meant to curb the peoples individualistic and rebellious tendencies. Outside of Sith space, the armor doesn't tend to invite any further scrutiny than other armors in its class, and local jurisdictions vary widely.

Functions



Function 1: Scout HUD
  • Scout HUD - Contains a 4x magnifier and Compass.
Function 2: Jump Boots
  • This unusual technology- a precursor to rocket boots- is able to propel a person up to 10 meters beyond what a normal person would normally be able to jump, especially when armored. It is not capable of sustained flight, and requires a brief engine cool-down before it can be used again (1 post cool-down).
Function 3: Bola Launcher
  • The gauntlet bola Launcher is a useful addition to a bounty hunters arsenal. Single shot, takes several seconds to reload, and has a max range of 12 meters. A successful hit tangles a foe in a strong durasteel wire to slow down or even capture the target.
Function 4: Computer spike
  • [*Computer spikes are electronic interface tools used to forcibly decrypt or unlock computer terminals. Most unencrypted civilian systems can be cracked in one full posting round, while most military or hardened systems take two or more.
