Photo-reactive coating
A Photo-reactive coating was a type of armor enhancement manufactured by Krail Armory for use in their Model 1010 Photo-reactive Personal Armor.[1]
Characteristics
Photo-reactive coatings were made by producing small, synthetic, photosensitive microscopic crystals that reflected and warped the ambient light and color around it.[1] When applied to armor it rendered the wearer nearly invisible, and extremely difficult to detect visually in virtually every environment.[1] This coating could then be toggled on and off at the wearer's leisure.[1]
These crystals were commonly applied to the Model 1010 Photo-reactive Personal Armor, where it acted as a optical camouflage system.[1] Due to the suit's camouflage abilities, however, the suit was considered illegal in most systems.[1]
While photo-reactive coatings did much to prevent visual detection, they did little to shield the wearer from sensors; this is shown by the bounty hunter Mist, who fortified her suit with sensor stopping reflec plating, atop of which pho-reactive coating was applied.[1] Combined, Mist was considered to be virtually undetectable, be it visually or through sensors.[1]
