[b:18kzi7ui]=Product Information=[/b:18kzi7ui]
[b:18kzi7ui]Manufacturer:[/b:18kzi7ui] Personal Armour, Forged by Dragus himself
[b:18kzi7ui]Production Rights:[/b:18kzi7ui] The Four Dark Lords of the NOE
[b:18kzi7ui]Type:[/b:18kzi7ui] Medium Armour
[b:18kzi7ui]Cost:[/b:18kzi7ui] Irrelevant(but lets say 100,000 credits anyways)
[action:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]History:[/b:18kzi7ui][/action:18kzi7ui] The Ravager, Lord Dragus' flagship, crash landed on the damned world of Shili, leaving the cruel Sith Lord battered and in rough shape. It was during the time this time that he reflected on his failed conquest of Outer Haven, and his ultimate failure of attaining a sample of the omnipotent Sith'ari's DNA. Hatred rose in the Dark Lord of Famine, enough so that he found a new purpose. No longer was the attainment of perfection his only obsession. Something else had taken its place, and that sole desire that called to him in his most prevalent of dreams was Revenge. He longed for the day where he would be standing over the Sith'ari's bloody and broken corpse, with the blood soaked scalp his most hated of enemies clenched in his right gloved hand. He would return to Tynna, to face the Sith'ari in open combat. But first he needed to prepare himself for the coming conflict. New armour needed to be forged to better aid the Sith Lord in battle.
[narration:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Body Suit:[/b:18kzi7ui][/narration:18kzi7ui] Taking the silk of the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shell_spider_silk:18kzi7ui]shell spider[/url:18kzi7ui], the Sith Lord wove a body suit that would extend down from his ankles, all the way up to his neck. A suit tightly woven to fit hit unique body type, that covered everything save for his hands, feet, and head. The body suit was laced with Cortosis-alloy, just like the flight suit of [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jagged_Fel:18kzi7ui]Jagged Fel's[/url:18kzi7ui] had been, not fully allowing it to withstand a direct lightsaber blow, but enough so that it might cause a misdirected strike to glance off.
[narration:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Hands and Feet:[/b:18kzi7ui][/narration:18kzi7ui] On both hands he wore a [url=http://www.jedivsith.com/viewtopic.php?f=1322&t=12672:18kzi7ui]Sith Disruptor Glove[/url:18kzi7ui], the very same invention he had earlier created. The glove reach from the tips of his fingers back to the middle of his forearm. The glove was worn over top of the body body suit which extended to and stopped at the wrist of each arm. On his feet he wore thick rubber insular boots the extended up to just below the knee. The bottom of the shoe had thick treads to allow the wearer better grip on the ground, and to prevent near fatal slips on frictionless surfaces. The entire attire was coloured jet black.
[b:18kzi7ui]Armour:[/b:18kzi7ui] Divided into sections
[action:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Chest Piece:[/b:18kzi7ui][/action:18kzi7ui] Now for the fun part. The metal alloy chosen for the armour portion of the Sith Battle Armour was [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Duranium:18kzi7ui]Duranium[/url:18kzi7ui]. The metal was forged into several different armour components. The first was a chest piece than fitted tightly over top of the body glove and extended from the Sith Lord's waist, to his shoulders. A hole on the right and left side allowed the Dark Lord's arms to be stuck through and mobile. As the armour was tight fitting over the body glove, the chest piece came in two halves that clipped together with a latch on either side chest piece at the bottom near the waist, and at the top, just below the armpit. These four latches were made from [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Impervium:18kzi7ui]Impervium[/url:18kzi7ui], and are the only portion of the chest piece that weren't solid Duranium. The difference in alloy was practically indeterminable as the entire chest piece had a jet black colour scheme.
[action:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Shoulders Guards:[/b:18kzi7ui][/action:18kzi7ui] On either side of the Sith Lord's neck, two Duranium shoulder pads extended from the sides of Dragus' neck, and encompassed the shoulder all the way down to the bicep. These Duranium guards were placed over top of the chest piece once is was secured, and they were secured to the chest piece by another series of Impervium latches, with one on the front and the one on the back of the chest piece, on both sides of it. The latches better prevented the should guards from becoming clipped off in the middle of battle. Like everything else on the armour, these two were painted as black as the airless void of space.
[action:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Protective Gauntlets:[/b:18kzi7ui][/action:18kzi7ui] Over top of the Sith Disruptor Gloves, Duranium alloy gauntlets were slid into place, custom made to not interfere with the firing tube of the disruptor that protruded from the glove where the hand and arm met at the wrist. The gauntlets encased the hands and and arm of the Sith up to mid forearm, ending right where the black Reek leather Sith Disruptor Gloves did. The gauntlets were made up of a series of Duranium plates with joints to allow the users wrist and fingers mobility. Each knuckle ended in a serrated edge that protruded a half inch from the glove. The serrated edges were clearer intended to cut into flesh if a victim found themselves struck by the metal gauntlets. Painted black of course.
[action:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Groin and Waist area:[/b:18kzi7ui][/action:18kzi7ui] Nothing, he's a freaking Sith Lord after all. Not Bon Jovi. If he loses it, well, his children wouldn't have been pretty anyways.
[action:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Feet and Shin Protectors:[/b:18kzi7ui][/action:18kzi7ui] Around each of those rubber insular boots the Sith Lord wore, Duranium armour placed around from the toes of the feet, up to the knees. Only the soles of the feet and an inch off the ground from where the rubber sole is flat are not covered with metal alloy. A joint is in place to allow the users ankles movement. The Duranium rose up past the front of the kneecap six inches, though it moved away from the knee as it rose so it wouldn't be resting on the Sith Lord's knee caps when he wore it. On the back side of the leg, the armour rose up to the bottom of the pit of the knee, and stopped there.
[narration:18kzi7ui][b:18kzi7ui]Cape[/b:18kzi7ui][/narration:18kzi7ui] In keeping with the Dark Lord of Famine's sense of flare, a long flowing cape was draped over the Sith Lord's shoulders. It clasped on at the front of the shoulders and went down over his back to approximately mid shin level. The cape was a deep royal purple in colour, with no visible markings on it. Like the body suit, the cape was woven from shell spider silk, and Cortosis fibers were laced into the material. The added metallic content of the cape gave it something of a shine, though the bold colouring was usually what drew an onlookers attention.[/quote:18kzi7ui]
