AV-1 power armor
The AV-1 power armor refers to a complete, enclosed armored suit of powered armor manufactured by GTU.
Characteristics
Designed for portability and resilience, GTU's AV-1 combat armor offered substantial defense in many low-intensity scenarios; however, its 25,000-credit price tag made it a functional, yet expensive, piece of equipment. The GTU AV-1 was intended for use by private security personnel and paramilitary organizations. Constructed with interlocking plates to provide full-body coverage, the armor featured a vacuum seal and an integrated helmet. Additionally, it incorporated a sophisticated jet pack system that generated no noise, heat signature, or visible flames. There were three distinct versions manufactured: AV-1A Assault Armor, AV-1C Combat Armor, and AV-1S Scout Armor.
Behind the scenes
Although the Arms & Equipment Guide and Scum and Villainy identify GTU as the manufacturer, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia attributes production to Wrokix Works. This article proceeds under the assumption that the Encyclopedia's information is incorrect.
