Tagliare and SDD - The way the blade is able to cut the spirit is that it was imbued with spirit energy, the spirit energy had the effect of making the blade something akin to a semi-physical but semi-spiritual creation. This means it's intangible but visible to things that exist on the physical plane, but it can only interact with things on the spiritual plane. This allows for the blade to cut into the spirit, and no, it isn't a spirit cutting a spirit, it's a blade cutting a spirit. Basic energy barriers have been known to repel the blade.

Archive heavy CQC GR-armor, Codenamed "Paladia" - This new version of the GR-armor is the forefront of CQC weaponry, using the newly developed Tagliare and a most if not all of the Archive's various doo-dads. Equipped with the QEB device, a super-computer equipped with it's own tactical adviser VI, powered by a small but incredibly efficient nemesis engine. It also sports two powerful heat sinks located in it's chest area, these heat sinks are comparable to that of seven standard sinks, resting on it's left shoulder is a energy weapon that the user can hurl for a basic long range weapon, these are energetic discs that can be slowly replenished, able to cut through most armor with ease. The Paladia's armor is comparable to corvette class armor, and it's shield can take an incredible amount of damage, comparable to a shot from a capital class vessel. It's equipped with various forms of the Tagliare, and energy based weapons that can cut through most armor.

Powered by long lasting energy cells that can power the armor for a total of year before requiring recharge the Sentinel is equipped with a minor super-computer along with it's own personal tactical adviser VI, the armor is comparable to half a fighter's defensive capability. Their armaments are up to the user of the armor, as there isn't any built in weaponry. The suit does however allow for the continuous speed of thirty MPHs for multiple hours.
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=Futuristic+armor#/dhtbe6Archive Anti-Lorcar/Special-forces GR-armor, Codenamed "Locust" - This is the Archive's first attempt at biological armor, using cloned and genetically modified Lorcar cells they created a blend between technology and biology. The Locust is equipped with all of the standard Archive technology, this includes a super-computer and a tactical adviser VI. The biological part is equipped with land-terror and assassin DNA, it's also equipped that the user of the armor may be able to access the Lorcar DNA inside it, this allows for the user to use the Land-Terror and Assassin caste abilities, this includes Lorcar detonation and hallucination (which they sometimes use to appear invisible). But using these abilities can lead to mental fatigue. The armor itself is as strong as fighter class armor but through the special properties it allows the armor itself to move at an extreme speed, the record for the Locust is two-hundred sixteen MPH. Due to the genetic modification the cells inside the armor they are immune to outside access from other pysker type Lorcar, this includes even the King. It has no built in armaments but anyone that is qualified to be in a Locust, is qualified to use most if not any of the Archive's weapons.
