Panoply of the Assassin
The Panoply of the Assassin is a type of synthetic Bodyglove, that the Imperial Assassins of the Officio Assassinorum have worn since the Great Crusade.[1]
Description
Part of the standardized equipment each Clade gives to their Assassins, the Panoply offers environmental protection and temperature regulation. The Bodyglove also provides chroma-syncronisation with its surroundings to aid in concealing the Assassins and incorporates a neuro-linked system of responsive fibre bundles. This allows the Panoply to stretch and contract to enhance the Assassins' musculature and dynamically rearranging their molecular structure to temporarily form a hyper-hardened carapace. The Bodygloves can dissipate and reabsorb the energy of kinetic shocks as well, allowing Assassins to free-fall from great heights and deflect shell impacts and shrapnel without harm. Combined with the rigorous battle training and combat conditioning that each Assassin undergoes, the result is an Officio Assassinorum operative that can far exceed the capabilities of a mortal Human on the battlefield.[1]
