Aegis Vambrace

The Aegis Vambrace debuts in Iron Gold as a cutting-edge piece of Gold-engineered technology, a compact metal vambrace strapped to the back of the left forearm that houses a shield generator capable of projecting a small personal energy shield flickering with blue sparks upon activation. Though its battery pack proves prone to smoking and overheating during prolonged use, it represents a pivotal advancement in personal defense amid the escalating conflicts of the Rising's post-Republic era. Across the series, it symbolizes the razor-thin margin between survival and annihilation in the brutal battlefields of the Solar System, with no further evolution detailed in subsequent books.
