The Bounty Hunter Armor was a model of armor in use during the Galactic Civil War.^[4] It offered a high degree of protection against kinetic damage. However, it offered less in regards to protection from energy-based weapons like blasters.^[1] The complete armor set included helmet, chest plate, left & right biceps, left & right bracers, gloves, leg armor and boots. It was available in several different colors.^[4]

History[]

Contrary to what its name suggested, this armor was not primary used by bounty hunters but by spacers and criminals.^[4] In fact, the Bounty Hunter Armor was known for its widespread use among members of the criminal organization of Black Sun.^{[11][12][13][14]} It was also used by Blackguards^[15] and by Razor Runners.^[16]

After the Battle of Yavin, a band of spacers retrieved pieces of Bounty Hunter Armors and used them to craft their own Mandalorian armors in the Death Watch bunker on Endor.^[4]
