Mandalorian Shock Trooper Armor

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Jump to: navigation, search

Mandalorian Shock Trooper Armor was a catch all term for the various armor styles worn by the Mandalorians throughout the years, including the Neo-Crusader armor used during the Old Sith Wars, and the supercommando armor worn by the True Mandalorians, the Protectors and the Death Watch during the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War.

Boba Fett, Jango Fett, and Jodo Kast were three noted individuals who wore Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor. The careful layering of segmented armor plates ensured mobility, which further increased by wearing a jetpack. The Mandalorians began to see the value of extra weapons mounted on the suit, so simple dart shooters, grappling wires, wrist-mounted rocket launchers, wrist blades, and flamethrowers were added to the overall design. All known Mandalorian helmets were the same in the inclusion of a T-visor. The armor worn by clone troopers in the early battles of the Clone Wars was loosely based on the armor of the Mandalorians, because Jango Fett was the template for the clones.
