GBA Standard Rules.
Arkania: Snowy Plateau
A harsh world of tundra and ice, Arkania was able to sustain life and civilization despite the harsh climate. Deep underground, the planet was fulled with diamond stores considered extremely valuable by those on the surface, resulting in the excavation of extensive mines across the world.
Our duelists find themselves in a howling blizzard far out on a frozen plateau, miles away from the nearest settlement. Every now and then a break in the relentless snow will reveal the blanketed tundra stretching off in every direction, laying far below the elevation of the plateau's top. Te air is bitingly cold, the height at which they were situated seeming to suck the warmth from their body's. Likely one of the harshest setting the GBA has ever thrown at its contestants it was unlikely either duelist would survive to grace the hallowed ranks of the arena's again, their frozen remains lying here preserved for all eternity.
The savage winds had cleared most of the snow from the rocky ground so footing would not be hampered by a layer of the white death, unlike the s now-covered plains below. Still, the rocky ground was treacherous in its own right, ice and loose rock promising stumbles with every step.
Our duelists will have to work to keep the cold at bay and stave off fatigue as the conditions will seep the energy from their limbs faster than they could swing their weapons. The real enemy here will be the environment, the victor the one best able to manage their body the better...

This damn cold . . . it was no wonder Ordo had made its home on a planet of mostly desert save the tropical regions of the equatorial region. Freezing was the only word to describe the inhospitable climate where the mandalorian Cathaoir Ordo found himself. It was just any cold; this cold bit with sharp fangs even penetrating the thermal lining of his Beskar'gam and the geo-thermal mesh he wore underneath. This cold seemed alive and the frigid wind that would kick up would serve as its tendrils, wrapping any who had the unfortunate duties of winding up in the God forsaken slump with the iciest of embraces. Cathaoir knew when he came here, that it was going to bean ice box, and so had packed accordingly - namely the thermal properties of his geo-thermal mesh suit that tightly clung to his body and the beskar'gam itself painted in black and accented by blue and grey.
On this occasion, Cathaoir wore his standard, self forged Beskar'gam of a combination of beskar, phrik and duraplast. The gauntles of each arm was outfitted to house different kinds of weapons and tactical devices such as grappling hook, Dur-24 Wrist Laser and ZX Miniature Flame Projector in his right gauntlet and a Velocity-7 Dart Shooter loaded with three Fex-M3 coated darts and MM9 Rocket System as part of his left wrist gauntlet. On his back, his J-12 Jetpack was clearly visible, though no rocket would be fired from it as it was not loaded. Over his Beskar'gam he wore a tactical vest which would allow for the quick and easy procurement of a variety of other items that had been brought with him on this day including three Cryoban grenades, two Flashbangs and a single thermal detonator. Sheathed along his back vertically behind his right shoulder blade was his beskad with a blade roughly three feet in length made of beskar; it was a cruel looking blade.
Finally, in each hand, the Aliit'alor of the Mandalorian Clan Ordo carried a blaster buster loaded with twelve slugs per magazine and one magazine a piece. The HUD in his buy'ce would make for quick target acquisition and precision aiming of his firearms.
The thermal linings of his gear would allow for him to tolerate the cold for a time, but that tolerance, even with his extensive training, would not last forever and would inevitably give out.
