Ceremonial Armor
With each entity of this type being handcrafted for its individual purpose, the design of the Hapan Ceremonial Armour varies greatly. Typically the armor pieces are extremely light, yet also very durable and provide the user with excellent protection. Due to the armour's low weight and the fact that it is manufactured for a specific individual, it does not limit movement, and perfectly fits the person using it; those that have worn the armour sometimes describe it as "second, thick skin". What also must be noted are the servomechanisms that support, and even improve, the mobility of the person that uses the armour - greatly improving dexterity and subsequently the chances of survival during hostile engagements. Due to the fact that the Hapan Ceremonial Armour is issued to Hapans that serve the King personally in the Chume'doro or those that have earned the privilege of wearing the armour through great achievements, there is a sense of respect and entitlement that comes with the armour. It is generally assumed that someone who is fortunate enough to wear the Hapan Ceremonial Armour is not an ordinary citizen, but rather someone who has proved his or her courage, honour and intelligence in service to the King.
