Imperial Knight armor

Imperial Knight armor was the standard protection and uniform worn by Imperial Knights. It was designed and implemented sometime between 43 ABY and 127 ABY, after the appointment of Jagged Fel as Emperor of the Fel Empire and before the Sith–Imperial War. The armor was crimson and black, and built to withstand lightsaber strikes. It included cortosis gauntlets that could shut down a lightsaber for a short period of time. Along with Imperial Knight lightsabers, it was the identifying trait of an Imperial Knight, although Knights were known to travel in plainclothes when required. Emperor Roan Fel wore a variant of Imperial Knight armor, and Master armorer Hogrum Chalk constructed life-preserving armored suits for severely injured Imperial Knights.
