Armor
Armor has always been the last line of defense. From the leather skins of far antiquity to the electrified reactive plating of the early modern battle tank, armor steps in when maneuver, camouflage, and countermeasure has failed, defeating enemy weapons in their final drive to the kill.
However, this protection inevitably comes with costs to mobility, mass, and economy. Even nigh-impervious armor is wasted if it protects against the wrong threats, or is such a burden that soldiers won't wear it.
Today, armor smiths craft their wargear with a focus on the twin pillars of practicality and directed energy resistance.
