After Action Report =================== After-battle assessment of armor damage Date: February 16, 2026 ![Close-up of metallic armor with multiple blaster scorch marks, dented pauldrons, and scratched chest plate, silver alloy material with battle damage, detailed textures, workshop lighting, science fiction concept art style](/battle-damage.png) > Six blaster hits. Two vibroblade strikes. One near-miss with thermal > detonator shrapnel. Armor held. I held. The <a href="/tags/verdan-job/" class="wikilink" data-title="Posts tagged: verdan-job" data-description="All posts with the tag &#34;verdan-job&#34;">Verdan job</a> was rougher than expected. Hutts sent enforcers after I secured the target. Four-to-one odds. Chest plate stopped two bolts at center mass. Would have been dead without it. Shoulder pauldron deflected a third. The rest missed or hit non-critical sections. <a href="/field-repair/" class="wikilink" data-title="Field Repair" data-description="Repairing a damaged vambrace in the field" data-date="2026-02-06">Field repairs</a> won't fix this. Need a proper forge. Need the Armorer, or someone like her. The beskar did its job. Now I need to do mine—restore it, honor it, prepare it for the next fight. Because there will be a next fight. There always is.
