Reflec Personal Armor
Type Personal Armor
Tech Level TL–10
Cost Cr1,500
Size 2 liters
Weight 1 kg

Reflec Personal Armor consists of reflective material on a plastic base which is tailored into a bodysuit. It is ineffective against most weapons, but superior in defense against laser fire. [1]

Unlike other forms of armor, reflec is worn under other clothing. Therefore, reflec can be worn in combination with any other personal armor set. Reflec is expensive and often difficult to obtain. [1]

Energy weapons grow increasingly advanced during the TL:10-12 epoch culminating in the PGMPs and FGMPs of the future. Reflec does a more effective job of defending against energy weapons than the earlier Ablat Personal Armor. The armor continues to develop after TL–10, increasing in effectiveness and decreasing in weight. [2]
