Reflec Personal Armor

Reflec

Reflective material on a plastic base can be tailored into a body suit which is effective against laser fire but ineffective against most weapons Reflec is worn under other clothing. Reflec is expensive and often difficult to obtain.

Ablat

Ablat is a cheap alternative to reflec fashioned from a material which will ablate (vaporize) when hit by laser fire. The ablation of the material carries away the energy of the laser and protects the wearer. Continued fire against ablat degrades its effectiveness, but the armor is cheap and easily replaceable. Ablat also has some value against other forms of attack.
