Neo-Crusader armor was a collective term referring to a type of Mandalorian armor developed sometime after the Great Sith War and in use by 3,964 BBY.

HistoryEdit

It was developed sometime after the Mandalorian Wars started, and used almost exclusively by 3,963 BBY due to a recommendation made by Cassus Fett, who's also rumored to have had a hand in war production. ^[1] By that time it was seen in four different colors on the front lines - blue, crimson, gold and silver. Blue was used by generic Neo-Crusaders, and crimson used by Rally Masters, while the golden armor was reserved for the Field Marshals. Silver was used by Neo-Crusader veterans on the front line, called Neo-Crusader Assault armor.

The armor was seen with many different armor configurations, such as a heavier standard used for the Shock Troops. As the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders comprised many different species, different designs were employed to fit the wearer. ^[2]

Neo-Crusader armor had a couple of functions and attributes superior to the former variety of armors, most notably that it was much stronger and could withstand more force. ^[2] It also had stealth field generators to allow the warrior to pass undetected by enemy soldiers.

A set of armor was recovered by the Galactic Republic in the Battle of Myrkr to examine by the Ministry of Defense.^[3] A Neo-Crusader helmet was kept by the Trandoshan headhunter Garnac thousands of years later, as part of his trophy collection.^[4]
