The beskar’gam is extremely rare outside of Mandalorian culture and costs 30,000 more than a trditional suit of Mandalorian armor. True ''beskar’gam'' is made of Mandalorian iron (beskar), which is strong enough to deflect blaster fire and even lightsabers, and when worn by a true Mandalorian warrior in can greatly reduce the ampount of damage taken even from direct hits. Not all suits of armor are ''beskar’gam'' (for example, the armor worn by Neo-Crusaders during the Mandalorian Wars was not made of beskar), but a wearer of the ''beskar’gam'' is a fearsome sight indeed. A suit of ''beskar’gam'' grants favorable circumstances on [[Persuasion]] checks to [[Persuasion#intimidate|intimidate]], and if the wearer has DR then the wearer can apply its benefit against attacks made by lightsabers.

An energy-shield generator is typically worn on the forearm or upper arm and must be activated as a [[swift action]]. Energy shields typically have 5 charges, and energy shields can only be activated once per encounter (the stress on the shield generator causes the device to overload otherwise, so the manufacturers build in failsafes to prevent such an occurrence). Each activation consumes one charge and lasts through the end of the encounter.

Regardless of whether or not the character is proficient in the personal shield, the character always takes the armor check penalty associated with the shield while it is activated. Additionally, each type of energy shield imposes its Maximum Dexterity Bonus restriction only when activated, not when worn and inert. An energy shield can be added to a suit of armor as an accessory.

Battle Armor, Medium
Saga Edition Core Rulebook, page 132.
Battle armor comblnes protective metal or composite plates with a padded jumpsuit to form a layer of protection. While off-the-rack battle armor is available, most users cobble together their gear from various sources.
Battle Armor, Medium Powered
Knights of the Old Republic, page 71.
The powered armor variant of standard batt le armor, powered battle armor is frequently used by those warriors who see their armor as an extension of their combat prowess and not just their defenses. Powered battle armor comes with a helmet package preinstalled. If you are using the equipment modification rules from Scum and Villainy, powered battle armor has 2 free upgrade slots (as does all powered armor).
Beskar’gam
Scum and Villainy, page 48.
The beskar’gam is the traditional suit of Mandalorian Armor. Unlike the armor of the Neo-Crusaders, most suits of beskar’gam are individually tailored to the wearer. They usually bave various customizations, ranging from simple coloration changes to significant structural alterations. The beskar’gam is extremely rare outside of Mandalorian culture and costs 30,000 more than a trditional suit of Mandalorian armor. True beskar’gam is made of Mandalorian iron (beskar), which is strong enough to deflect blaster fire and even lightsabers, and when worn by a true Mandalorian warrior in can greatly reduce the ampount of damage taken even from direct hits. Not all suits of armor are beskar’gam (for example, the armor worn by Neo-Crusaders during the Mandalorian Wars was not made of beskar), but a wearer of the beskar’gam is a fearsome sight indeed. A suit of beskar’gam grants favorable circumstances on Persuasion checks to intimidate, and if the wearer has DR then the wearer can apply its benefit against attacks made by lightsabers. Though not powered armor, the armor has two free upgrade slots.

Dark Armor
Jedi Academy Training Manual, page 61.
Dark armor is the generic name given to various suits of armor possessed and worn by the Sith. Each suit of dark armor is unique, having been created for and often modified by an individual Sith Lord. These suits of armor may look like they originated as other stock models, but they are modified through various processes, including Sith alchemy.
Dark armor is not just another piece of protective gear; to many Sith Lords, the armor is nearly as important as their lightsabers. A suit of dark armor defines a Sith Lord’s appearance, and is frequently made to be as frightening as possible.
A suit of dark armor automatically comes with a single enhancement from the Sith Alchemy Specialist talent.
Energy Shields
Knights of the Old Republic, page 71.
| Energy Shield Prices | ||
|---|---|---|
| SR | Cost | Armor Proficiency Requirement |
| 5 | 500 | light |
| 10 | 2000 | light |
| 15 | 4,500 | medium |
| 20 | 8,000 | medium |
| 25 | 12,500 | heavy |
| 30 | 18,000 | heavy |
Rising to prominence in the days after the Great Sith War, personal energy shields project a thin layer of shielding over an individual character or creature. The popularity of energy shields sparks a revolution in combat tactics, including a surge in the popularity of melee weapons and non-energy projectile weapons. Just as the spread of energy shields is a response to the prominence of energy weapons, they in turn cause warriors to adjust their tactics to deal with personal energy shields.
Energy shields give a character a Shield Rating, which functions exactly as vehicle and starship shields. An energy-shield generator is typically worn on the forearm or upper arm and must be activated as a swift action. Energy shields typically have 5 charges, and energy shields can only be activated once per encounter (the stress on the shield generator causes the device to overload otherwise, so the manufacturers build in failsafes to prevent such an occurrence). Each activation consumes one charge and lasts through the end of the encounter. An energy shield only protects against weapons that deal energy damage; a weapon that deals any other type of damage bypasses the shield’s SR entirely.
Energy shields come in three varieties: light, medium, and heavy. Each energy shield type corresponds to an armor type. A character with an active personal shield without the relevant Armor Proficiency feat takes a −5 penalty to Reflex Defense, and the wearer is denied its Dexterity bonus to Reflex Defense, though he or she still gains the benefit of the shield. Regardless of whether or not the character is proficient in the personal shield, the character always takes the armor check penalty associated with the shield while it is activated. Additionally, each type of energy shield imposes its Maximum Dexterity Bonus restriction only when activated, not when worn and inert. An energy shield can be added to a suit of armor as an accessory. An energy shield can be modified by armor templates only if the template specifically states that it can be used on energy shields, and the shield confers that benefit only when it is activated.
The SR provided by the energy shield determines the shield’s price, as well as the type of Armor Proficiency feat required to operate the shields without penalty. SR 5 and SR 10 energy shields require Armor Proficiency (light); SR 15 and SR 20 energy shields require Armor Proficiency (medium); SR 25 and greater energy shields require Armor Proficiency (heavy). See the table to the right for prices of energy shields.
