Armour

Souls of Darkness Armour Set.

The armor that the unit wears has many different functions. The most important of course, is protection. The armor gives similar or better protection against blasters than common Stormtrooper armor, and nearly full protection against ballistic weaponry. While the thigh plates have been removed to save space, and increase speed and agility, the fibers of their combat pants are woven with a stiff synthetic material to be resistant to most forms of martial attacks, but are mostly useless against ballistic or blaster attacks.

Another function of the armor is also a protection based function, but protecting against the environment. The basic set of armor can filter out most toxins, and is water tight, with a small air tank built in with a one hour supply of air.

Lastly, the helmet has several improvements. The visor is auto-shading, so when a flash bang grenade goes off nearby, for example, the trooper isn’t totally blinded. The helmet can also deaden the sound of said grenade, and most sonic weapons. There is a small holocam just above the wearer’s left eye, which sends recorded information to the communications specialist’s equipment to be analyzed later if needed.

Trivia

Currently, membership in the Souls of Darkness is earned by being named the member of the month for House Caliburnus.
