The Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor is a layered set of armor designed based on Supreme Leader Snoke's Praetorian Guard for the Grand Master's Royal Guard. The suit covers the body from head to toe, featuring a flared composite armor helmet that conceals the face entirely. Large plated pauldrons on the shoulders layer in segments similar to the plated chest piece allowing for flexibility. Greaves and heavy boots protect the lower legs, with flared fabric shrouding the upper legs like the bottoms of a robe. Each set of armor is hand-crafted, making it extremely rare.
Intense Local Magnetic Field
The layered armor is a high-tech onion-skin laminate, impregnated with conductive wirepaths that, once powered, create an intense local magnetic field. Once this energy-intensive field activates, the powered plates can deflect blaster fire. Even a lightsaber will glance off, though a direct thrust will penetrate the shell. The mag-coils are costly, the plates heavy, and the magfield exposure is painful to the wearer.
With various hermetic clasps and rubberized seals, Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor is completely sealed off from any atmospheric threats or the vacuum of space. It contains several hours worth of breathable air, more than enough to handle the majority of most conflicts. The additional seals and air supply increases encumbrance, making the set several pounds heavier than the typical Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor as well as decreasing overall mobility.
Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor has been equipped with a targeting reticle that, when active, approximates the sights of Grot's readied weapon and projects a graphical representation onto his HUD.
Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor has been altered for increased resistance to electrical discharges at the expense of the mobility normally attributed to Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor.
