Not sure if they are really hybrid.  I would think armor technology, at
least to some extent was available before screens to human forces.  The
main
difference is in cost and maneuverability.  The Kra-Vak armor is
something
they have pursued to a higher degree than humans.  They're increased
knowledge and experience would help keep their costs down, as well as
give
them time to design highly maneuverable ships that integrate the armor
as
part of their general configuration.

I would interpret this as a new system for everyone.  Only Kra-Vak don't
pay
extra to use it.

Go for it!  I thought the "official" universe meant anything taken from
the
GZG rules.
