Here we see a First Order riot control stormtrooper equipped with a betaplast helmet along with a riot shield.
Betaplast, which is also referred to as Composite Betaplast or betaplastoid, served as the armored material that constituted the armor worn by First Order stormtroopers. In comparison to Imperial plastoid, betaplast provided enhanced protection and was well-regarded for its resistance to both ballistic impacts and high-impact forces. Captain Phasma asserted its exceptional durability, claiming that even a Wookiee would be unable to crush it. However, when faced with a potential test by Chewbacca, she chose to back down rather than allow him to challenge her statement.
Furthermore, betaplast found application in the construction of neck guards and armored collars for members of Canto Bight's Uniformed Branch.
