Duroplastic Armor

Duroplastic Armor first appears in Morning Star as the standard-issue chestpiece for Gray legionnaires, engineered to deflect railgun fire while remaining vulnerable to the crushing strength of Gold opponents. Its introduction marks a pivotal shift in the Rising's arsenal, bridging the technological gap between the lowColors and the elite Golds who once dominated through sheer physical superiority. As the series progresses, this armor becomes emblematic of the broader war's evolution—from desperate rebellions to full-scale interstellar conflict—symbolizing both the ingenuity and the limitations of the Rising's forces.
