Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Barabel microbe armor was a sleeveless armor developed by Creshaldyne Industries. The suit had inflated pouches containing microbes that consumed radiation. These beings fed on blaster bolts, and in fact bred when receiving an impact—increasing the protection of the vest. However, microbe armor was vulnerable to extreme cold.

The use of this armor was not widespread among soldiers as it was useless against any other weapon. The item was offered to Galladinium Preferred Customers through Galladinium's Datalog.
