[edit] History
- "I've never much liked the look of the Neo-Crusader armor - but the increased order has been useful. We might even conquer the galaxy because of it."
- ―Mandalore the Ultimate[src]
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 three different colors on the front lines - blue, crimson and gold. Blue was used by generic Neo-Crusaders, and crimson used by Rally Masters, while the golden armor was reserved for the Field Marshals.
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.
