| The helmet to the DF-1s Armored Vest is an optional piece of equipment. All functions standard to the AV-1s helmet are included.

DF-1 Armour is a variant of the AV-1s Scout Armor. The armour was created for Battleteam Dark Forge to be significantly lighter than the original design produced by GTU. Removing several armored layers on all but the torso area reduces the armor's weight to 9 kg without the helmet. The helmet adds an additional 1.5 kg of weight if worn and reducing the bulk of the armor from the extremities allows for increased dexterity, which is conducive to multiple lightsaber techniques and Dark Forge's speed focused style of assaulting objectives.
Variations
Several items are noticeably absent on the armour when compared with its parent AV-1s counterpart; The servo motors which are used in the AV-1s Power Armor to amplify the wearer's strength have been removed, with little to no armoring or external support structure on the wearer's extremities (besides from what is essential) there was no benefit to include the devices. The power lamp is an optional piece of the vest, at the user's choosing. Many members of Dark Forge will forgo the power lamp, instead using the vest's helmet or their innate Force abilities to assist in low light environments.
Jet-pack
The repulsorlift engine remains fitted to the back of the vest, although it also has been modified. The standard 100m flight ceiling has been reduced to 60m and the gain from this modification is increased flight speed. The total amount of power cells within the vest have been reduced to one, the only functions which consume this cell are use of the repulsorlift engine and the power lamp. The repulsorlift engine in particular, is a significant drain on the power cell. The vest is only able to support 30 second flight periods from the engine, at maximum speed. Periods of flight greater than 30 seconds will rapidly drain the power supply. Testing of the vest shows that from a full charge it can support a total of 120 seconds of uninterrupted flight at maximum speed before power reaches levels which are inoperable for the repulsorlift engines.
Helm
The helmet to the DF-1s Armored Vest is an optional piece of equipment. All functions standard to the AV-1s helmet are included. Specifically these are; long range thermal imaging (200m range), low light imaging, environmental scanner, integrated macrobinoculars, multi-channel comm unit with encoder, a 50 kilometer range external voice amplifier and bio-med readout/sensor which displays the status of the wearer's vitals to themselves and the remainder of the team (who are wearing the DF-1s helmet). If the helmet is worn an insignificant amount of power is used to operate its systems as well thereby allowing it's systems to continue to function even after the previously mentioned 120 second flight testing.
