Reinforced Insulated Sheath armor

The Reinforced Insulated Sheath armor, or R.I.S. armor for short, was a form of heavy, yet flexible battle armor that saw use during the Galactic Civil War. It could be customized in a variety of colors. Mol Ni'mai, a male Bothan master armorsmith living in the mountains of the planet Dantooine, was the inventor of the armor. R.I.S. armor could only be crafted by the most proficient armorsmiths. In addition to its more basic resource requirements, the armor also required the bones and hides of various creatures within the galaxy. The armor had eight separate pieces which included two biceps, two bracers, a chest plate, a set of leggings, a helmet, and a pair of boots. During the Galactic Civil War, sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Ni'mai taught a spacer and fellow armorsmith how to make the armor. Following this, R.I.S. armor saw use by several disparate organizations throughout the galaxy.
