Acquiring new beskar from a questionable source
Donning the Armor
Every morning, the same sequence. Not habit—ritual. The Way demands intention.
Mesh undersuit first. Temperature regulation, impact dispersion. Then the chest plate. It clicks into place with a sound that means "I am protected."
Gauntlets next. Left, then right. Check the whistling bird launchers. Test the grapple line. Weapons are part of my religion, and these are my church.

Beskar Grades
Not all beskar is the same. I've learned this from handling enough of it.
Pre-Imperial beskar—the stuff from Purge collections—is the purest. No Imperial refining markers, no alloy compromises. Heavy, dense, almost black in shadow. The Armorer's favorite.
Imperial-era beskar is different. They mixed it with lesser metals to stretch supplies. Still good—better than durasteel—but lacks the purity. Lighter, brittle under sustained fire. You can spot it by the slightly silver sheen.

Can't reach a forge. Have to patch it myself.
Using beskar dust mixed with binding resin. Temporary fix. Will hold for maybe two weeks of combat. Then I need proper re-forging.
The weight of temporary repairs. Constant maintenance. Constant vigilance.
That's the life.
This is the way.

Seeking a Forge
The micro-fractures are spreading. Right shoulder plate took too much strain during the Verdan job. Hairline cracks webbing across the beskar alloy like lightning frozen in metal.
Can't ignore it anymore. In combat, those cracks become failure points. One well-placed shot and the plate shatters. Exposes the mesh beneath. Exposes me.
Been transmitting on covert frequencies. Old codes from the scattered Mandalorians. Looking for a forge, a smith, anyone who can work beskar without the Empire noticing.
