Cameleoline Cloak

The most ubiquitous form of gear that any Monastic Ascendant deployed to the field will be armed with, the humble cameleoline allows them to as as both the thousand hidden knives or the secret hammer, delivering a deadly blow to an enemy and quickly fading into the dust and confusion.

History
As any good insurgent will tell you, the best defence against an enemy is simply not being seen. Learned through the months of strikes at Rukarr planetary targets during their liberation. Tenzin grew to understand this tenant particularly well, using an adaptable cell network structure to keep his enemies guessing as to their next target, and more than one ambush had been accomplished thanks to ingenious disguises and camouflage.

When it came time to take command of the Legion then, and it's reformation under his tutelage, he was rather surprised to find such a useful and common material as cameleoline available to the imperium at large. Soon marines were issued with their own cloaks and adapted to their liege's tactics, even adapting the legionary colour scheme to accommodate the use of them, leading to the 'half and half' style used to this day. Worn mostly on the battlefield, the Monastic Ascendants sometimes choose to implement them as part of their ceremonial garb elsewhere, woven into their robes to provide shimmering bands of reflected light amongst the deep oranges and striking yellows of their casual-wear.

Description
A large sheet of cameleoline fabric that has been turned into a covering large enough for marines in full plate, the cloak allows them to blend into environments to better observe and execute their enemies through decisive strikes.

The fabric itself is worked into a full cloak that covers from the neck to boot of a marine, with a hood on top. While it is up to the individual what specific style they have their cloak worked into, some have shown a preference for sleeves, while others prefer the basic sheet, cutting and sewing specific 'gun holes' to allow their weapons to be covered as well during firing.

It is also able to be manufactured in larger sheets, able to cover whole vehicles at a time to disguise their movements and provide sanctuary should they need to be repaired in the field

As a battlefield advantage this is a simple yet supremely effective one to leverage against any enemy. While the galactic battlefield is home to many such systems that may defeat such an advantage, more often than not an enemy doesn't stand a chance when they can't see the bolter barrels ready to execute them.
