BOBA FETT'S ARMOR
The following is a listing of the different
armors that the Mandalors wore:
MANDALORIAN LIGHT
'SCOUT' ARMOR
The 'light suit' covered only the head, torso,
and arms. The armor is heavy but it gave protection roughly
equal to stormtrooper armor. This suit coontains a short
range, 25 meters, defensive laser and a flame projector. The
armor contains light weight sensors and a broadband
transceiver.
It is believed that Jodo Kast's suit is a
modified type of this armor.
This armor was issued to members of training
cadres, vehicle and starship crews, and non-combat support
units.
Personal equipment to be carried with this armor
would normally consist of a survival kit, a blaster pistol,
and a knife.
MANDALORIAN STANDARD 'TROOPER'
ARMOR
This armor expanded on the 'Light Scout Armor'.
Having 50% greater armor than the 'Light Armor', this suit
contained a basic jump pack - except for shipboard personel,
a second arm laser, more powerful sensors, and an
atmospheric filter.
The 'Trooper Armor' was commonly worn wiith a
light enviromental or climate control suit for ground
operations or a light vac suit for boarding operations.
Worn by almost everyone in the Mandalorian
legions, the 'Trooper Armor' provided a great deal of
protection and a large quantity of firepower.
This armor was issued to line troopers, junior
NCOs, officers reguardless of their unit, and starship
command crews.
Normal equipment to be carried with this armor
would be all the equipment of a probationary trooper, as
well as grenades, a blaster rifle, and a variety of weapons.
MANDALORIAN HEAVY 'COMMANDO'
ARMOR
Twice as strong as the 'Light Armor', and more
than twice as heavily armed, these suits were exspensive to
make.
Today, the few remaining suits would sell for
as much as an Imperial Star Destroyer.
The suit contained a very fine jetpack, a
vertically fired grenade launcher, several wrist lasers, a
flame projector, a turbo projected grapple with a winch, IR
and motion sensors, a macrobinocular viewplate, a sensor
package, a broadband antenna, and an enviromental filter
with a two hour air supply.
A modified version of this suit is the one
Boba Fett uses.
Fett's armor is blue in color and his helmet
has a crimson red stripe running along the black visor while
Jodo Kast has a bright orange stripe around his visor.
No reason for the difference in colors is know.
Many believe that they indicate a certain rank while others
believe that they are simply to distinguish one Commando
from another.
Made for the Mandalorians' best troops, these
suits were issued to senior NCOs and officers, commandos,
snipers, and recon troopers.
The Mandalor Super Commandos were considered
among the best troops ever, often compared to Emperor
Palpatine's Royal Guard.
Normal equipment to be carried with this armor
was whatever the mission called for and was available.
MANDALORIAN POWERED 'ENGINEER'
ARMOR
This suit covers the entire body. Many of the
sensors came from the 'Heavy Suit', while the weapon systems
came from the 'Scout Suit'. These suits also included
high-intensity work lights mounted on each shoulder, a
servo-system, a cutting/welding laser, and a climate control
body suit.
The suit included all of the systems of the
'Heavy Suit', though it only had one wrist laser and a flame
projector.
This is the least well known of the Mandalorian
suits of armor, because it had the lowest production run.
Meant for combat engineers, limited issue heavy
weapons units, and elite commando units,
These troops had to be at least as good as a
fully trained Mandalor warrior, but they also had to know
how to fix and use almost any piece of equipment on the
battlefield, how to build fortifications, prepare landing
sights, and handle explosives.
These troops were consider some of the best
rounded troops of the Mandalorians.
MANDALORIAN 'BOARDING'
ARMOR
This suit of armor is believed to have been in
the final stages of evaluation at the time of the Order's
destruction.
These suits were based on the 'Engineer's Armor'.
Carrying a powerful sensor suit, thrusters, and heavy
weapons, this suit would have been effective for space
boarding.
The suits' arsenal includes multiple wrist
lasers, 2 homing mini-missiles, a cutting laser, a
turbo-projected grapple and winch, high intensity
worklights, and an enviromental system to provide air,
power, and climate control for five hours.
These suits were reserved for special missions
only.
Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, Jodo Kast, Grand
Admiral Thrawn, and Boba Fett are the only ones 'known' to
have worn Mandalorian battle armor.
According to Marvel Comics, Fenn Shysa, Tobbi
Dala and Boba Fett were the only three survivors of the
200-man Mandalorian commando squad that fought in the Clone
Wars. Fett went off and became a Bounty Hunter, while Fenn
Shysa and Tobbi Dala had returned to Mandalore to fight a
revolution or something.
