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.
Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor is equipped with the ability to cycle its view-filter into the thermal spectrum. Coming at the cost of reduced range of view, this mode allows Reiden Palpatine Karr to see sources of heat as opposed to visual light, such as body heat.
Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor has been equipped with mag-boots, allowing Reiden Palpatine Karr to maintain their footing in low-gravity situations. This augment requires additional power draw, making it more susceptible to discharges and moisture.
