Boarding Armor

Boarding Armor, also known as an Armored Vacuum Suit, was an article of clothing that blended personal armor and vacuum suit technologies into a single lightweight multifunctional unit.

Developed by Corellian Technologies, the suit provided all the benefits of a traditional vacuum suit with a ten-hour supply of atmosphere, while also utilizing a medium armor capable of protecting the wearer against blasters and physical attacks. The suit also featured the ability to self-seal any punctures and tears, and was considered a reliable choice for pirates and other such professionals who found themselves in and out of atmospheres, as the suit was lightweight and hindered mobility very little when inside of a gravity well.
