Flame-Resistant Cloak?

By Underachiever599, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I'm working on a little pet project right now. I'm statting out a lot of the Sequel-era characters. I've got a good chunk of them done, but I've hit a rather small road bump with one. Cardo, one of the Knights of Ren, wears a flame-resistant cloak made of riftiaworm hide. Are there any flame-resistant armors out there that I simply can't find? And if not, what would be the best approach for making one?

Boost die on resiliance checks for fire and extra soak agaist fire.

Asbestos cloth is fire retardant and has been around on Earth since at least the 800s. Maybe, uh, hold your breathe when wearing it though.
Gives boost die to conditions caused by fire and putting out fires.

I just found what I was looking for in Gadgets and Gear. The Radiation Shielding attachment. Just gonna re-flavor it for fire instead of radiation. Two Boost dice on Resilience checks to resist heat. And with the modifications, up to +2 soak against damage caused by heat.

That works fine, but you could also simply treat it like a dedicated Thermal Cloak that only affects heat or a reskinned (possibly ignoring the HP) Thermal Shielding System.

In unlimited power the alchemical crafting of talismans let's you make a protective amulet, fire still does damage but loses the burn (continuing damage) quality
