Armor

Protective armor exists in the Star Wars universe, but only the lightest types see widespread use. Heavier armor is considered to be too expensive, too restrictive, and just not worth the trouble unless it serves an additional function (Such as providing environmental protection, as in the case of Imperial Snowtrooper Armor).

Many forms of armor are restricted or even illegal outside of approved military uses. In locations where armor isn't prohibited, the wearer of armor identifies himself as someone who either expects to cause trouble or expects trouble to come his way.

Helmet Package

When installed in the helmet of a suit of Armor, this electronic package allows the Armor to grant the wearer a +2 Equipment bonus on Perception checks as well as Low-Light Vision (Darkvision 120ft). In addition, it includes an integrated hands-free Comlink (Short Range).  These are purchasable as an Item Modification for 4,000cr. Installing the Helmet Package takes 1 hour, and a DC 20 Mechanics check.

Light Armor

Blast Helmet and Vest

The Armor consists of a lightweight helmet and a composite vest that, when worn together, offer limited protection against incoming attacks. 

Padded Flight Suit

Favored by starfighter pilots all over the galaxy, the one-piece added flight suit protects against decompression, g-force, and harmful environments. It provides limited protection against attacks as well. A Padded Flight Suit comes with a matching helmet and gloves that seal around the wearer and provide up to 10 hours of life support, allowing them to survive in the vacuum of space or any other hostile environment.

Combat Jumpsuit

This heavily padded jumpsuit is designed to provide limited protection against physical and energy trauma without overly restricting the wearer's movement. 

Armored Flight Suit

A combat-ready flight suit that provides additional protection against vacuum for limited periods, this Armor comes in various models, including the Corellian TX-3 (Favored by various pirate gangs) and the Imperial TIE flight suit (Worn by TIE Fighter pilots throughout the Empire). An Armored Flight Suit provides up to 10 hours of life support, allowing its wearer to survive in the vacuum of space or any other hostile environment.

Stormtrooper Armor

Worn by the elite soldiers of The Galactic Empire, Stormtrooper Armor comes in a variety of models based around a standard white-and black shell. Filled with electronics that assist and augment the Stormtrooper in their duties, it includes rudimentary environmental protection, three-phase sonic filtering, and visual amplification.

Variants of this armor also exist, including Snowtrooper Armor, Sandtrooper Armor, and Clone Trooper Armor. Each has slightly different details, but all include the basic characteristics common to all Stormtrooper Armor. Though unavailable on the open market, these suits can occasionally be found on the black market (for much higher prices).

Stormtrooper Armor (Including all variants) grants a wearer who has the Armor Proficiency (Light) feat a +2 Equipment bonus on Perception checks, as well as Low-Light Vision (Darkvision 120ft). Stormtrooper Armor also includes an integrated Comlink in the helmet, allowing hands-free communication (Short Range).

Wearing Snowtrooper Armor (18000 credits) makes you immune to the effects of Extreme Cold.

Wearing Sandtrooper Armor (18000 credits) makes you immune to the effects of Extreme Heat.

Fiber Armor 

Initially used on worlds where traditional armor plating was in short supply, Fiber Armor is specially designed to channel Energy-weapon attacks away from the body. The various metal fibers woven into the exterior of this armor cause it to absorb and harmlessly disperse Energy damage. However, Fiber Armor is far from perfect, and lucky shots manage to hit. Once per encounter, a character can reduce energy damage by 10 against a single ranged Energy attack as a Reaction. This reduction can reduce it to 0.

 

Light Battle Armor

Similar to denser suits of Battle Armor, this stripped-down Light Battle Armor is frequently used by soldiers who lack extensive armor training, but need a slight edge in combat.

Once per encounter as a Free Action, the wearer can negate the bonus damage on any attack made against them while they are Suprised (Such as when being targeted by an attacker with the Sneak Attack Talent).

Shadowsuit 

Used by assassins and burglars, the Shadowsuit manufactured by Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles is little more than a black body stocking covering the wearer's entire body. Shadowsuits are made from a tough but soft material known as Shadowsilk that absorbs light and sound. The hands and feet of the Shadowsuit have sound-dampening pads that reduce the noise made by the wearer. A Shadowsuit grants a +5 Equipment bonus to Stealth checks whenever the wearer is in darkness or dim-light conditions.

Tracker Utility Vest

 The Tracker Utility Vest is a simple garment that allows hunters and guides to carry a wide assortment of small Equipment without discomforting the wearer. Although they can be constructed from an assortment of materials, Tracker Utility Vests are commonly made from a tough, leathery hide treated to be watertight, stainproof, and resistant to rips and tears.

The vest features pockets, pouches, and straps capable of carrying up to twenty-four small objects weighing no more than 2 pounds each. Because the items are stored so that their weight is distributed evenly around the wearer's torso, their cumulative weight is halved for purposes of calculating the wearer's total carried weight.

Galactic Alliance Armor

For over 1000 years, the Galactic Alliance has used variations of its own Light Armor design, usually in dark blue hues with black accents. In its most recent form, the Armor combines a padded armor base with a reinforced breastplate and fully armored gauntlets. Some front-line troopers also use a fully enclosed helmet with a Helmet Package, but this varies by unit. It is not uncommon to see officers and others opt to use Galactic Alliance uniform hats and caps instead.

Some variations of the standard Galactic Alliance uniform incorporate a flexible blast vest and a tight-fitting, open-faced helmet into their designs. This type is especially prevalent among the fleet crews at battle stations.

Light Dark Armor

Dark Armor is the generic name given to various suits of Armor possessed and worn by the Sith. Each suit of Dark Armor is unique, having been created for and often modified by an individual Sith Lord. These suits of Armor may look like they originated as other stock models, but they are modified through various process, including Sith Alchemy.

Dark Armor is not just another piece of protective gear; to many Sith Lords, the Armor is nearly as important as their Lightsabers. A suit of Dark Armor defines a Sith Lord's appearance, and is frequently made to be as frightening as possible.

A suit of Light Dark Armor automatically comes with a single enhancement from the Sith Alchemy Table below.

Seatrooper Armor

Developed specifically for engagements on Mon Calamari and Tibrin, the aquatic armor worn by Imperial Seatroopers is pressure-sealed to a maximum of ten atmospheres (About 660 feet underwater) and incorporates a Rebreather allowing you to breathe underwater.  Seatrooper Armor provides a +2 Equipment bonus to Swim checks because of it's underwater Propulsion Pack and swim flippers. 

Stun Cloak

This cloak is a Weapon as much as a form of protection. Lined with microfilaments attached to a power cell, the Stun Cloak can emit a powerful electric shock to any character who Grapples or Grabs, or is Grappled or Grabbed, by the wearer. Officers and Nobles wear Stun Cloaks to thwart kidnapping attempts, and commandos who expect to engage in close combat also wear them. The interior of the cloak is insulated to prevent accidental shocks to the wearer.

The soles of the Armor's boots are magnetic, enabling the wearer to walk on metal surfaces, such as a Starship hull, without drifting off into space. The magnetic soles reduce the wearer's Speed by 10 feet. A small propulsion system on the backpack allows the wearer to reroll any failed Swim checks, keeping the better of the two results; and even when rushed or threatened, the wearer can Take 10 on Swim checks and can maneuver without penalty in Zero-Gravity.

This is the heaviest set of Dark Armor providing even greater protection. This armor follows the same rules the same rules as the Light Dark Armor.

Orbalisk Armor

Orbalisk Armor is unique in that it can only be obtained by subjecting oneself to parasites known as Orbalisks, native to Dxun. The Orbalisks bond with the host and usually drain the host of energy; however, someone with sufficient strength in the Dark Side of The Force (That is, possessing a Dark Side Score of 10 or higher) can prevent the Orbalisks from killing them, instead forming a symbiotic relationship with the parasites.

A character with Orbalisk Armor gains DR 20; unlike normal DR, a Lightsaber does not ignore the DR of the Orbalisk Armor. Since Orbalisk Armor is bonded directly to the skin of the wearer, it cannot be removed except through complex medical procedures (Requiring Surgery, as per the Treat Injury Skill DC 40).

Over two meters tall and twice as wide as a normal Human, Zero-Gravity Armor has earned the Spacetroopers the nickname "Walking Tanks." There have been several versions of the Zero-Gravity Armor; the first two iterations were large, bulky, and really more like small Starfighters. The Armor presented here is the light Spacetrooper Armor, which was developed after the Mark II version of the Armor came into service.

All Zero-Gravity Stormtrooper Armor incorporates shoulder-mounted Grenade Launchers (Loaded with Frag Grenades, Stun Grenades, and Smoke Grenades), a Blaster Cannon (2d12 Blaster Rifle), and a Miniature Proton Torpedo Launcher (Range 600/1000 4d10). The gauntlets are fitted with either rotating vibroblades or laser cutters (twice as good as fusion cutters), enabling Spacetroopers to cut through the hulls of enemy craft. The Armor is currently manufactured only for Medium creatures, and increases the wearer's size to Large. Routine maneuvers in Zero-Gravity Spacetrooper Armor do not require a Pilot check, but the wearer must make a DC 15 Pilot check to perform any maneuver more complicated than simple movement.
