Shadowsuit

A shadowsuit was a suit of body-stocking armor made of shadowsilk, a special light-absorbing material. The shadowsuit was designed to maximize the covert movements of the wearer. As such, shadowsuits did not use electronics that could be detected by sensors, except for the optional goggles for the wearer's eyes—the only part of the body that the suit did not cover. Cushioned gloves and slippers reduced the noise the wearer made by moving.

Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles produced a retail model of the shadowsuit. While not widely available, a number of thieves and assassins used it. Later, the SpecForces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic custom-made a number of shadowsuits for their elite covert operatives.
