Heavy combat suit

The heavy combat suit was a type of armor that offered more protection than the basic model of combat suit. The heavy combat suit was heavier overall than other combat suits, and not quite as flexible, but many considered the trade-offs worthwhile. It was a good source of defense from physical attacks and light blaster fire.

Heavy combat suits were in use during the Jedi Civil War and the Dark Wars that followed it.
