Imperial Knight Armor

About the Imperial Knight Armor

The Imperial Knights of the resurgent Empire wore this heavy armor as both protection and symbol, a suit engineered to stand against lightsaber and blaster alike and to mark its wearer as a warrior sworn to the Emperor's service. Forged with resistant plating and disciplined lines, it let these martial Force-warriors close with enemies wielding weapons that shear through common armor, trusting durable materials to turn what flesh could not. The order that wore it answered to the throne rather than the old Jedi ways, and their armor reflected that austere martial creed. It provides formidable protection at the top of the medium band, its coverage exacting a fair toll on agility in exchange. To face a warrior in this armor was to meet a fighter who had made a discipline of standing against blades that others could only run from.
