Light battle armor

Light battle armor was a type of armor commonly used in the galaxy during the Jedi Civil War and Dark Wars. The armor provide decent protection for a relatively low cost, and was suitable for both males and females. It was considered excellent protection for entrenched troops or guards. However, this protection came at a cost of mobility, limiting its uses by rapidly advancing infantry. Still, it provided more mobility than full battle armor. The armor was used by many soldiers in the Sith Empire, Galactic Republic, and local militias, and was available from many vendors across the Galaxy. It was also used by other individuals, such as Gadon Thek of the Hidden Beks swoop gang.
