Republic Combat Armor

About the Republic Combat Armor

The frontline battle dress of the Republic's fighting forces, this combat armor gives a soldier serious, multi-point protection built to stand up in a stand-up fight. Layered plates cover the torso, limbs, and head over an impact-absorbing bodyglove, shrugging off glancing hits and softening the ones that land, at the cost of enough weight and rigidity to slow a wearer down and cap their agility. It is the armor of assault troops and defenders who expect to trade fire at close range, not scouts who need to run. Fielded across countless campaigns, its silhouette reads instantly as a soldier ready for war rather than a guard on a quiet post. A trooper in Republic combat armor accepts the burden and the reduced quickness as the price of walking into fire and walking back out, and for the work it was made for, that is a bargain most gladly take.
