Cataphract armor

Cataphract armor

A suit of heavy powered armor, built for maximum protection at the cost of mobility. Heavy layered plasteel-weave plates with solid ablative coatings stop all but the most well-aimed or powerful attacks. Neuro-memetic assistors prevent the suit's massive weight from immobilizing the wearer entirely, but the suit is still quite cumbersome. Armor like this is used by imperial cataphracts to break heavily fortified positions in frontal assaults when no other option is available.

Cataphract armor is a type of advanced apparel (armor) introduced by the Royalty DLC that can effectively block gunshots, cuts, blunt trauma, or burns.

It provides the best protection, especially against blunt, and can block heat damage. It also covers the limbs in addition to the torso.

However, it is much more expensive, needs a long time to make and also needs the Cataphract Armor research before being available. It also provides a Move Speed debuff of -0.80 c\s, double that of Marine armor.

It forms a full set of armor along with the Cataphract helmet.

Comparison

Cataphract armor is an additional step up from Marine Armor.

Trivia

Cataphracts were heavy armored cavalry used in warfare by people in Europe.
