HistoryEdit

"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 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]
