A mimetic suit was a type of stealth suit that used advanced technology to render the wearer virtually undetectable.[1] Illegal to own and difficult to obtain, mimetic suits were highly sought after by criminals, thieves, and assassins.[1]

Characteristics[]

Made using highly advanced materials and applied sciences, mimetic suits were considered to be at the apex of stealth technology.[1] Able to bend light around the wearer to render the user virtually invisible, the suits contained sound dampeners and electromagnetic and thermal shielding to fool scanners and sensors.[1] In order to function the mimetic suit had to be energized, and required a small power pack; this pack could provide an hour of continuous use before needing to be replaced.[1] This was in stark contrast to other stealth suits, which primarily relied on passive materials and camouflage instead of advanced energized technology.[1]

History[]

A group of terrorists used several mimetic suits during their attempt to assassinate Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum on Eriadu. Qui-Gon Jinn and several other Jedi did battle with these terrorists. The Anzat assassin Kell Douro was a notable user of the suit, using it to sneak up on prey.
