Imperial officer battle armor

Imperial officer battle armor was field armor worn over the uniform of an Imperial officer that consisted of a blast helmet and torso armor, with a rank insignia plaque on the chest plate's upper left side and an officer's disk on either side of the helmet. The armor was color-matched to the underlying uniform and there were two basic variations. Officers of the 224th Imperial Armored Division wore the chest plates minus the helmets during the Mimban campaign. An earlier variation in use by the year 4 BBY whose chest plate and helmet was identical to that of an Imperial combat driver, minus the faceplate. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin donned a gray version of this variant when confronting Kanan Jarrus after his capture on Lothal. Officer Viggen wore the same variant during his skirmish with Commander Ryden on Imvur.

A second variant was later brought into use that consisted of a snowtrooper's chest armor and back plate and a helmet nearly identical to that of an AT-ST driver, along with a pair of goggles and a holster. The one worn by Grand Admiral Thrawn was white, with golden shoulder boards similar to the ones on his regular tunic. Governor Arihnda Pryce wore one during a mission with Rukh. During the Battle of Hoth, General Maximilian Veers wore olive battle armor, as well as a utility belt that contained mission data.

During the New Republic Era, the chest armor have been painted as a symbol of a pirate gang the Warbird gang on the back with the glowing red eyes and the weird symbol on the front, on the left pad painted two stripes, and the blast helmet painted one stripe on the middle as the armor and the helmet wears by its leader Captain Kragan Gorr.
