Have an anthem, not sure what music to set it to.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Across the world, duty calls
To fight for the freedoms of one and all!
Who shall oblige their noble need, who shall stay their fall?
The Abberan people, one and all!

(Chorus)
To push on through the future, whatever may come,
No matter the where, no matter the how,
The Abberan people set out now!

Honor and Justice is the motto we bear,
A sonnet to the virtue of Liberty fair,
The King on high does hear the call,
Ringing in the souls of one and all!

(Chorus)

So shall march the Chivalric, the Common and the Crown,
Beneath the crest of Liberty, and her gracious high-held brow!

Spoiler: Kraken Lifter System (click to show/hide)

The Kraken carrier system consists of a harness that's worn over the standard uniform a rail that runs around the waist of the soldier. Adjustable actuating arms attach to the rail around the waist and can travel along this rail freely unless locked in place. The harness has an inbuilt cealium core in order to reduce the weight of the harness and everything attached to it. The arm's positions and angles can be set and locked into place. Cables from the shoulders can be connected to these arms for added support. Each arm includes k wool inserts to nullify the effects of impacts and recoil and a connection to the sparkpack. Multiple arms can be mounted on the same system and there are numerous things that can be mounted on the arms. Things that can be mounted on to the arms include thick metal shields, ammo boxes, lifter boxes for supplies and large weapons such as the scythe or the halberd with further weapons. The system is highly modular allowing new arms to be developed easily as new tech is created. The belt consists of two metal rails that a runner clips on to. The runner is connected to the arm. There is a fold of thick fabric above the rails that hangs down over them. This protects the rails without impeding the runner. There needs to be two separate rails because that's how the systems feeds electricity to the arms which is also why the thick layer of fabric is there to protect the user from accidentally crossing the rails. The runner is connected to an extendable arm that can have many different attachments on the arm such as a scythe ammo box.

Just something to help our standard infantry to carry our larger, our properly beeeg equipment into battle.

Spoiler: Draugr Shock trooper armour (click to show/hide)

The Draugr is a very simple set of plating, made up of multiple plates along the legs, arms, and neck as well as a rather basic cuirass, all of which is made from cealium steel. This means that the metal plating is rather unencumbering. Underneath the Plates, the Draugr consist of a pair of dual-layered trench coat, leather pants, Scarf, and a K-Wool lined metal helmet with a face mask.
It has been designed for use by soldiers who will be required to swiftly assault enemy fortifications, such as trenches and buildings while there is no knight on hand to lead such an assault.

The trench coat has a layer of K-wool under Neath, which in combination with the metal plates, makes it very difficult (although not impossible, and certainly not to the level of wading through the enemy fire like the paladins) to be killed via shrapnel and rifle bullets.
The K-wool layer of the Coat is connected to the K-wool long johns that are worn underneath the Dragrs leather pants. This means that when putting on the armour, it can be a bit awkward with the Pants being required to be done first while the metal and leather coat and helmet hang behind the soldier before they pull it up and put on the rest.

The Helmet is K-Wool lined, rather simple, with an Attachable face mask made of cealium steel with K-wool padding to help protect the soldier skin from chaffing, freezing, burning, shrapnel, shockwaves, and rifle bullets.
The masks eye have been made from clear resin with a very small strand of K-wool suspended within. This makes it very hard to break the resin, requiring significant force such as a bullet.

This suit allows a Soldier to take the point in a trench assault, quickly overrunning the enemy through leveraging their increased protection in tight quarters such as trenches and buildings.
However, if that was all that the Draugr Shock Trooper armour had, we would not have relegated this to its own project team.
The true purpose of the draugr armour was to serve as a test bed for a new weapon system we are hoping to incorporate into our vehicles and the next generation of paladin armour if it passes the testing phase here and now.

Attached to the back of the armour is what has been currently named the Kinetic matrix. Created from Cealium, D-promethium (requiring a small heater powered by the soldier Sparkpack to protect the wearer from) and K-Wool.

K-Wool strands running from the Kinetic matrix are woven into the body suit and the helmet, connecting them via a set of wool straps. When the strands that are woven into the dragr absorbs Kinetic energy from combat (whether from the recoil of a weapon, the impact of their body into the environment or their feet pounding into the ground)  A D-Promethium crystal in the Matrix is absorbing that energy, from the ends of the K-Wool strands that have been spot “Welded” to the crystal via a citric acid coating.

The Kinetic matrix releases that energy from the D-Promethium crystal when exposed to a small electrical charge and a small tap from the “Firing pin” mechanism located within.
When that energy is released, instead of creating a shockwave on the back of the Dragr, surely killing the poor man inside, the Energy is absorbed and Channeled via special modified K-wool.

This K-wool has been modified via being dipped inside a dangerous tub of D-promethium powder followed by powdered caulium.
When this dust ridden string is then put inside a salt solution involving and very very small amount of citric acid, Salt, and 2 or three of catalysts, the strands are permeably died a strand purple colour.

When the Shockwave is released from the D-promethium crystal, The Newly DCK-Wool strands catch it, and the released kinetic energy is channeled along the string until it reaches the end of the strand, where it had been cut. In our cases, the is the middle finger and index finger of the Draugr suit wearers dominate hand, creating a very concentrated shockwave.

Depending on the amount of power released, this can be any wear from the force of a few kicks, to a shockwave of force capable of shattering stone when combined with the small point of impact (The Shockwave is basically released out of  the width of two fingers, that is a pretty small area for something that could have the force of bullets behind it)

How the shockwave is deployed is up to the Dragr, some preferring to use the shockwave as a ready made sidearm, while other prefer to save up their charge and use it to remove pesky obstacles, such as walls, doors and in some rare cases vehicles. Of course, in close combat the near certain kill that their dominate hand because is quite useful.
The shockwave should prove quite deadly to anyone that is not equipped with k-wool protection when the Dragrs matrix in fired within physical contact with the target.

As of now, the trigger is located on the inside of the palm and is activated via placing the thumb on top of it, hitting the bottom while the thumb is bent in a trigger esque shape. This completes the circuit. Without the thumb being bent in that manner, the bottom is not operational, and the shockwave won’t fire. This helps to prevent accidental discharges of deadly shockwaves. Additionally, when out of combat, the should has a small safety switch, so that the suit will not discharge until the Draugr is inside the combat zone.
As of now with the draugr being the first step in this process, we only have the single emitter point for kinetic shockwave, and the Shockwave is an all or nothing thing with the d-promethium battery releasing the entire charge at the same time, with no way of modifying the power of the release.

Draugr Wearers are known to do anything they can to help build a charge, Stomping their feet before combat as well as punching each other on the shoulders, Which feels like nothing due to the K-wool but helps to charge their squad mates Kinetic matrix.  A friendly slug on the shoulder could very well be a matter of life or death for a Shock trooper in draugr armour.

Designed to be relatively common for shock troopers/Squires (its K-wool, metal plates and leather, we are good at that. The complicated parts is the kinetic matrix) its an easy system to act as a test bed for the kinetic matrix (not reaching higher because I have no desire to remake new fluff why the kinetic matrix works as it does)

[Doomblade187]

Minotaur:
An upgrade from our combat shotgun, the Draco, the Minotaur is very similar in operation, a semiautomatic shotgun with underbarrel magazine holding 8 shots. Where it differs is the caliber: the Minotaur fires 24mm shotgun shells. There are four ammunition types designed for the Minotaur. A buckshot shell, for general anti-infantry use, a steel-jacketed armor penetrating sabot round, a slug with two seperate chambers, one with undepleted promethium, and the other with citric acid, to create an explosion, and an incendiary round which is a catalyst and white phosphorus in lead slug. There is a 130mm radius axehead under the end of the barrel, and a k-wool rubber stock pad to absorb the intense recoil. The weapon is lightened with an internal tube of powdered caelium powered by the sparkpack. Wielders are issued k-wool earmuffs.

[Man of Paper]

Year 1913 AC Cold Season, Design Phase

Proposal: ARA Model-1913GEN "SparkPack"

Batteries work for powering Caelium, and we know as much. But, the batteries are expensive and far too much so for their power. Luckily, we have a resource right at our fingertips. Promethium, the power of the Titans. Perhaps we should carry on ol' Promethius' torch, eh?

To summarize, the Sparkpack is a miniature Promethium Vise Generator in the form of a backpack attachment. The generator itself is insulated by a partially K-Wool shrouding. Also within the pack is a bank of capacitors and power regulators to give the Sparkpack some short term storage capacity. The outer casing is a thin steel, insulated, cushioned and sealed inside and out by a layer of rubber and felt. Maintenance and fuel replacement can be done by screwing off the back. An extendable cable spools out from the side, and can be plugged in to power our current Caelium based technology (The Scythe, Sickle, Paladin Armor, and even an energy boost for the Kingmaker!).

It can be carried on its own included backpack straps, mounted to the bottom of our current external-frame backpacks, and can even be clipped onto the belt. The standalone version incorporated a hip harness to that the pack can't fall off, and the entire casing is made thin so that it should be able to fit in the battery compartment of our Paladins.

Difficulty: Normal
Result: 11 (6+5+0) = Masterwork

We've worked with Gavrilium power generation for a little bit but it has, until now, not been the focus of our attention. We have rectified that oversight.

The SparkPack, from the outside, is a simple metal cylinder that measures in at 40cm tall when stood on one of it's flat ends, with a diameter of 22.5cm. The cylinder weighs about 12kg. Each end holds a capacitor bank that draws energy from a series of gavrilium crystals mounted on disks not unlike the spokes of a wheel. A cable can be pulled from the cylinder and plugged into any compatible equipment in need of a power source, or extra power in the case of the Kingmaker. A hatch on the cylinder can be unlatched and opened up in order to access the gavrilium, while caps at each end can be unscrewed to access the capacitors for any necessary maintenance.

Each crystal mounted within a single disk is of a different predetermined size of the others. This keeps the SparkPack working much longer without freezing over, requiring only periodic maintenance in order to replace spent crystals. Without replacement crystals a SparkPack can provide a week's worth of power to a Paladin, with the capacitors holding another 24 hours of charge if at full capacity.

The SparkPack is insulated and protected by a layer of K-Wool and a layer of rubber sandwiched between two thin layers of steel.

The SparkPack can be carried by a soldier like a backpack would via a pair of adjustable shoulder straps. Thanks to our focus on the Paladin while designing the SparkPack we have received a number of related benefits. It has been modeled to mount directly on the Paladin frame thanks to some minor adjustments to the frame and removal of the old battery port. The back plate of the Paladin is modified to fit over the SparkPack, with a hole for the hatch to protrude from.

By applying a SparkPack to a suit of Paladin armor (known as Paladin-B until  decided otherwise) we change it's cost to 5 Ore (thanks to not requiring battery replacement every hour), 4 Caelium, 3 Gavrilium, and 2 Kinetic Sheep, keeping it (VERY EXPENSIVE) at this point but with a different cost spread. However, as we were not extraordinarily lucky, we didn't have time to modify the base electrical systems of the armor. Until we look into the issue there will be occasional surges in the Paladin-B that see the armor plates "lifted" more than, ah, desired. It isn't enough to knock the guy over, but it does occasionally interfere with aiming and moving, which can be important on the battlefield. Perhaps diverting power somewhere other than the Caelium coating would help fix the issue... [GM Note: While you are kind of getting a free variant from the design, as an 11 I couldn't justify handing it to you in perfect working condition outright. This also allows you to customize what you do to the Paladin-B both in appearance and equipment.]

Another issue of note is that extended use of the Paladin-B sees the inside of the armor become very hot.

A SparkPack itself costs 2 Ore, 3 Gavrilium, and 2 Kinetic Sheep, making it (EXPENSIVE).

Proposal: ARA Model-1913 AT Rifle "Halberd"

The Halberd is a 40mm anti-tank rifle. It is fed from a box magazine and uses a scaled up and improved gas operation system like the Modea. It is capable of semi-auto fire. Taking recoil management lessons from the Gorgon the barrel of the weapon slides backwards when fired hitting a block of k-wool before springing back into position and chambering a round in the process. The stock is also heavily padded creating a three-point recoil system between the k-wool and the barrel. This should provide almost complete protection against the weapon's considerable recoil. The weapon has a bipod which also has k wool inserts in its legs. These inserts help absorb vibrations and counteract any weapon rattle allowing the weapon to fire multiple times without being knocked off target. The weapon uses a scope to sight its targets. The scope is simple and very similar to telescopes used in naval navigation.

Caelium, ground up and mixed into a grain-aligned metal has shown a propensity to emit force when powered, the force emitted exponentially increasing with the charge applied. Ground up caelium is to be added to the metal of the shell so the projectile will be accelerated forward. There are metal contacts interspersed along the barrel so that any shell passing down the barrel with complete a circuit with each set of contacts and will thus be propelled forward.

The weapon has a caelium core and is made from caelium steel to reduce weight. This makes the weapon easy to carry, manuever and crucially aim. Unlike the scythe, the core is active when the weapon is fired and this causes an interesting effect. The projectile is affected by forces as if it was of a lower mass until it leaves the core's area of effect at which point it retains the all the velocity it gained. This means the projectile leaves the barrel at far greater velocity than a projectile of its mass would normally be accelerated to.

Power is designed to come from an external source, ideally the spark pack but it can be attached to the same batteries the Paladin uses

Difficulty: Hard
Result: 4 (3+2-1) = Poor

We ground and mixed Caelium into grain-aligned metal as we planned. We created shells for the weapon we were designing, the Halberd, using this mixture. The problem is we didn't fully test what would happen when the round was fired. Testing showed that the round, when fired through a specially designed barrel with contacts meant to charge it, would, for lack of better words, emit a small burst of gravity in either direction down the barrel. Occasionally the rearward burst would overcome the forward, but not reliably every time. As a result the shells can exit the barrel much faster or much slower than expected. However, when the Halberd's Caelium core is powered the inside of the weapon becomes a gravitational maelstrom when fired. That is, as the round passes through the barrel the space behind it experiences omnidirectional gravitational ripples and can possibly cause warping of the barrel.

The Halberd itself isn't too bad, though. It's made of Caelium Steel with a Caelium Core powered via SparkPack carried by one of the two crew for the weapon. It is 1.8m long and has a bipod to stabilize the weapon. K-Wool padding and inserts in the weapon itself reduce the recoil in the weapon to almost nothing, which helps a Halberd empty it's 5 round box magazine. Due to the inconsistency of the range of the weapon we saw no need to design a scope for it as of yet, but we've seen it pierce scrap Paladin suits at up to 800m. Finding a way to fix the, uh, gravity problem, would see that as the effective range.

The Halberd costs 4 Ore, 3 Caelium, 3 Gavrilium, and 3 Kinetic Sheep, making it (VERY EXPENSIVE).

The representatives of our allies couldn't express their gratitude enough upon delivery of a number of Orleans. The first use of one on the mainland saw the first ever successful attack on a fortress in The Free Holds. As a result we have gained one Research Credit. We have two Revisions this Revision Phase, and remember we can also assign +1 to a proposal before it is rolled. Remember that you can still discuss invasion options.

There was a suspicion that Gavrilium was explosive. That turned out to be false. Don't believe everything you hear on the talkie box.

IT IS NOW THE REVISION PHASE.

Spoiler: Designs (click to show/hide)

Infantry

ARA Model-1911A "Modea" Self-Loading Rifle: The first Self-Loading Rifle to see combat, the "Modea" is 4.5 kg and a meter in length. It fires 7.92x57mm rounds fed into the weapon by a 12-round en bloc magazine. It has variable sights and is effective to 400 meters. She's packs a punch but suffers from unreliable internal components. The end of the barrel is lightly threaded to allow attachment of a cup launcher. Costs 2 Ore and 2 Wood (CHEAP)

ARA Model-1911C "Draco" Trench Gun: A 4kg, 80-cm long 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun. Only jams on on occasion, and the butt spike breaks off after a handful of uses. Costs 2 Wood and 2 Ore. (CHEAP)

ARA Model-1912MG "Scythe" Heavy Machine Gun: Utilizes the same 7.92x57mm rounds used by the "Modea". Fires 80-round belts that can be linked together for sustained fire. The barrel rarely overheats even at it's 650 rpm fire rate, and rounds are effective out to 2km, but is somewhat inaccurate. Carried around in weight-negating cases. Costs 5 Ore and 3 Caelium. (EXPENSIVE)

--ARA Model-1912PMG "Sickle" Personal Machine Gun: A lightened version of the Scythe meant for use with Paladin Superheavy Armor. The carrying case is replaced with two crystals embedded in the weapon itself. Has a pistol grip, vertical grip near the barrel, and a deployable bipod. Has reduced range and accuracy compared to the Scythe, but not by much. Costs 4 Ore, 3 Caelium. (CHEAP), but usage is tied to Paladin deployment.

ARA Model-1911APG "Wickerman" Incendiary Grenade: A 15-cm long White Phosphorus grenade. The grenade has 15m area of effect, an 8 second fuse, and a dud has never been encountered. Costs 1 Ore and 1 Chemical Compounds, making it (CHEAP), but is considered [complex] until we have access to Chemical Compounds.

ARA Model-1913AT Anti-Tank Rifle "Halberd": A 40mm anti-tank rifle made of Caelium Steel and lightened by a Caelium core. The Aligned Caelium rounds make the weapon very unreliable, but it can kill an armored target at 800m when it hits. K-Wool inserts and padding nearly negate the kick of the weapon, and a bipod helps support it. Has a 2-man crew, one of which is responsible for keeping and maintaining the SparkPack. Costs 4 Ore, 3 Caelium, 3 Gavrilium, and 3 Kinetic Sheep. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

ARA Model-1911ART "Gorgon": A standard, reliable piece of 155mm artillery. The round and a bag of propellant are sealed using an interrupted screw breach, and the weapon can fire effectively out to 10km. Uses a hydraulic system to manage recoil. Costs 5 Ore. (CHEAP)

ARA Model-1913ART "Jotunn": A massive 420mm cannon capable of firing HE shells and the new Depleted Gavrilium-based Rime Shell out to 10km. The 900kg shells take up to 7 minutes to load and fire, but are devastating on impact. Makes use of a winch system to lift the huge shells. Calls for Ore and Gavrilium. (CHEAP)

Uniforms for the Massed Infantry v1.1: The Abberan uniform consists of cotton undergarments, a grey gabardine wool pants and jacket with light K-Wool reinforcement, and a collarless cotton button-up shirt. The jacket has multiple convenient pockets and a foldable collar. Super snazzy jacket buttons hold an image of a crown, and a dark blue crown on the shoulders is used to identify allegiance. Comes with a leather belt, gloves, and boots. Binoculars are handed out as necessary. Holsters and ammo pouches have flaps on top to keep out the weather. Padded steel helmets and rubber filtration masks are standard issue (with citric filters being uncommon among standard troops), as are water-resistant canvas backpacks used to hold the soldier's basic kit. The helmet can be strapped to the back of the pack while traveling.

ARA Model-1912ARM "Paladin" Superheavy Armor: Thick shaped plates of armor attached to an exoskeleton with a soldier strapped inside. The plates of armor have a coating of Powdered Caelium negating part of the effects of gravity on them. As a result, the 50kg suit only weighs 15kg for the purposes of the force needed to move it. Plates can be dislodged by gunfire and "powered down" to normal weight, though improvements to the frame and cabling have reduced this occurrence drastically. A battery in the back has a life of one hour before needing to be replaced by one of two "Squires" assigned to assist the "Paladin". A green-yellow glow can be seen through small spaces in the armor. Costs 7 Ore and 4 Caelium. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

--ARA Model-1912ARM-B "Paladin-B" Superheavy Armor: A normal Paladin modified to use a SparkPack as it's primary source of power. Can remain powered for a week at a time, though it can be kept running for as long as possible with occasional replacement of the Gavrilium crystals in the SparkPack. Power surges imbalance the armor, and the interior becomes hot over an extended period of continuous use. Costs 5 Ore, 4 Caelium, 3 Gavrilium, and 2 Kinetic Sheep. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Ground Vehicles

ARA-1912MP-T "Faithful": A reliable 4-wheeled truck with a closed cab and covered bed. Can sit eight men and equipment, though up to twelve can be crammed in if the Scythe mounted on a truss behind the cab goes unmanned. Has a top speed of 25km/h. Costs 3 Ore and 4 Oil. (EXPENSIVE) 

ARA-1912MP-APC "Kingmaker": A hovering troop transport utilizing a Gavrilium Generator for power. Holds 12 men plus Driver, Passenger, and Scythe Gunner. Armor is 2-4mm thick, providing some protection. Turbine motors on the bottom of the Kingmaker are susceptible to damage, and the vehicle controls like a boat, drifting slowly to a stop unless the Caelium is powered down. This makes dismounting a choice between damaging the belly of the craft (where everything important is housed) or risking ankles. Loads slow her down, but it can reach 30km/h when empty. The Generator is protected by a K-Wool shroud. Costs 4 Ore, 3 Gavrilium, 3 Caelium, and 1 Kinetic Wool. (EXPENSIVE)

Aircraft

RSN 1913-COR "Orleans" Sky Corvette: A lumbering flying five-winged behemoth armed with 6 Scythes and a Gorgon. Requires one of two GavGenerators to provide the central Caelium crystal crystals enough power to fly. The bottom is armored fairly well, and can travel up to 25km/h. Vital sections have an extra layer of K-Wool sandwiched between the armor plates and the frame. The crew is protected from the harsh elements thanks to being provided with Winter Gear. Utilizes Caelium Steel to reduce power requirements while maintaining endurance. Fins have been added to improve stability. Costs 6 Ore, 3 Caelium, 2 Gavrilium, and 2 Kinetic Sheep. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Support

ARA Moddel-1912RAD "CourierMan" Radio: Cumbersome wireless communications equipment with a range of 1.5km. A step in the right direction for reliable long-range communication. Costs 6 Ore. (EXPENSIVE)

Components

Gavrilium Generator: A generator that uses pressure to induce a piezoelectric response in Gavrilium rods. Can replace conventional engines in most cases where power must be provided. Negates oil cost related to powering a design, but adds a slightly reduced cost in Gavrilium.

ARA Model-1913GEN "SparkPack": A 12kg Gavrilium Generator housed in a 40cm long, 22.5cm diameter cylinder. Has two capacitors housed inside. It can be connected to any compatible piece of equipment to provide either the required or an extra boost of power. The SparkPack is deployed as auxiliary equipment based on it's cost. Costs 2 Ore, 3 Gavrilium, and 2 Kinetic Sheep. (EXPENSIVE)

Caelium Steel: A Caelium-Steel alloy weighs half as much as similar volumes of steel without losing durability. Designs utilizing Caelium Steel adds 1/2 the cost of Ore in Caelium for any cost associated with the replaced steel.

Caelium Powder: When powered, Caelium Powder lifts the coated object by acting as a counter to the pull of gravity. The strength of "lift" is directly proportional to the amount of energy applied.

Caelium Powder Rods: Powdered Caelium suspended in a conductive fluid and powered much like a mercury lamp (fluorescent bulb in todayspeek) in order to provide lift. Slightly more efficient than regular Caelium Powder.

Pure Caelium Crystal: When powered, creates a weight-negating field containing and within the attached object. Will neutralize up to 65kg.

D-Gavrilium: Depleted Gavrilium is a cripplingly cold material that is neutralized in a small burst of heat when citric acid is applied.

Specialty Resources

Caelium: A green crystalline supermaterial that we currently know reacts with an electrical current to suspend itself in the air at a level related to the amount of power flowing through it. Providing current to a Caelium Powder coating will reduce weight of the metal it is attached to, while a pure crystal form of Caelium is capable of creating an object with an internal field capable of negating up to 65kg of weight when powered.
Chemical Compounds: Chemical Compounds have a variety of potential uses in combat, and so facilities must be dedicated to the production of the compounds we require.
Gavrilium: An element that can be burned to produce energy much like coal, but with greater energy output. Light pressure forces a piezoelectric response.
Abberan Royal Kinetic Sheep: Sheep whose wool is capable of dispersing kinetic energy across it's surface. Higher-grade wool is able to dissipate a larger amount of force.

[Doomblade187]

Paladin-B Revision

There are two main phases to the Paladin-B refit. The first is to embed a rubber-coated small chunk of d-promethium in interior of the armor. This cools the armor at a slow rate, negating any heat issues. The small d-promethium chunk is embedded via a small niche in the armor covered with a bolted on hatch, to allow removal when not needed. To disperse excess cold air, a pair of vent fans has been added on the back of the chest armor, above the battery pack, pointing down and out. These are powered via the sparkpack, and can be turned on and off via a forearm mounted button switch under a blue sliding cover, or a toggle inside the sparkpack. The armor also has two smaller capacitors used to collect surges from the sparkpack, located next to it in the battery compartment. These connect to two small powdered caelium tubes encsconced in the side of the armor, on either side of the chest, which can be powered on by pressing a forearm button with a sliding cover to prevent accidental activation. The purpose of these tubes is to allow expanded jumping capacity when activated.

Spoiler: Cealum Null Steel halberd revision (click to show/hide)

Gravity. Cealium in the halberd is playing merry hell with Gravity.
This is beyond the scale of what we knew cealium to be capable of before, and represent a giant leap forward in what we are able to accomplish in the future.
For now, though, it is messing up the halberd from achieving its true potential, and we require something to help control these rampant gravity maelstroms.

Finding some form of material to help control these waves, Required a close study of our materials.
After these close studies, We have found that that cealium has caused this problem, and we will be able to use cealium to fix it.

By Treating powdered cealium with a long process that was discovered, well, almost purely by accident and possibly via these ancient manuscripts that were found underneath Abberan’s capital when it was founding, we have discovered a long and complicated, near alchemical process to create what we have now named Cealium-Null, due to its ability to nullify the internal field produce by normal cealium.

This process begins with powdering down the ceelium crystal, just like we would for powdered cealium coatings and for making cealium steel. After the powdering process, The powder is mixed into a large bath of very powerful acids.
These acids begin to make changes to the cealium molecule structure, and the powder begins to soften, becoming less like crystal dust, and more like particles of gold soft enough to dent (if they weren’t powdered).

The dust is strained out of the acid bath via several filters, collecting the dust that had been mixed in. As the dust has been strained from the acid bath, it is then added into a secondary bath, filled with powerful bases.
This bath initiates a second molecular change, as well as neutralizes the remaining acids on the Cealium dust.
When exposed to the base bath, the cealium seems to reharden immensely, gaining some very sharp edges and a very hard surface comparable to before they had been put into the bath.

The Dust is Washed with water, removing the remains of the base bath, before being put inside a rather large clay crucible. During this time, the cealium is baked at temperatures high enough to melt Iron, all the while being exposed to very powerful electromagnetic fields from the apparatus around it. This electromagnetic baking continues for 3 days time before it can be removed.

If the Cealium is left to cool back down to room temperature after being removed from the crucible normally, the gradual temperature is not enough to cement a change, and it instead returns to the state it was in before being baked.
However, if rapidly cooled the final changes to the mateirel will be initiated.
this si done via dropping several fists sized chunks of D-promethium into a large Drum of the burning hot powder. Afterwards, the drum is sealed and agitated, tossing the D-promethium crystal around and mixing them with the powder, rapidly cooling them with their freezing presence.

This process continues for around 20 minutes, rapidly cooling the powder.
Afterward, the Process is complete, with cealium reaching a stable state, and will not undergo any more change to the best of our abilities.
The D-promethium crystal is removed, and we are left with a white powder, that glitters when exposed to light, almost like powdered diamonds.

This is what we have named Cealium-Null.

Using its ability to insulate from the internal field of regular cealium, we have created a new barrel lining for the halberd, made from C-Null Steel, which is made in the same manner as cealium steel, with Cealium-null being added to the molten metal during forging.
 The Grain aligned bullets of the Halberd are have been modified, with C-Null Steel acting as a replacement for the end of the bullet. This new cap at the tip of the bullet it rebuffs the Gravity producing cealium charge, back towards the other end of the grain aligned metal, serving to strengthen the bullets field that moves it forwards. The stronger gravity field near the end of the bullet means the bullet leaves the barrel even faster, with none of the speed distortions that the gravitic maelstrom had been causing.

I like the revision. I suggest we replace the cap of the bullet with null, and leave the back open. The back is the part that emanated the forward field, I think.
