The layered armor is a high-tech onion-skin laminate, impregnated with conductive wirepaths that, once powered, create an intense local magnetic field. Once this energy-intensive field activates, the powered plates can deflect blaster fire. Even a lightsaber will glance off, though a direct thrust will penetrate the shell. The mag-coils are costly, the plates heavy, and the magfield exposure is painful to the wearer.

Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor is equipped with a limited adrenal injector. This augment enables A'lora Kituri to deliver a shot of adrenaline on demand in order to boost awareness for a short period, but adds encumbrance when compared to typical Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor.

Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor has been altered for increased resistance to radiation at the expense of the mobility normally attributed to Brotherhood-issued Elite Royal Guard Praetorian Armor.

Jamella Starkos' helmet has been modified to project pre-recorded messages onto the outer surface of her visor, accompanied with matching audio for the purpose of delivering messages. While active, the holographic images block the wearer's sight and limited memory means that only a few minutes of messages can be stored on the helmet at a time. While lifelike, the holographic nature of the visor is obvious and cannot be used to fake identities or otherwise fool an individual.
