Implant armor

Armor implants represented a type of armor that was surgically placed beneath the skin, offering enhanced defense, particularly for critical internal organs.

Frequently preferred by covert agents, infiltrators, and similar secret personnel, armor implants were utilized in situations where donning more conventional and conspicuous armor would attract unwanted notice. Generally, these implants comprised slender ceramic and plasteel sheets, positioned under the dermal layer to mitigate harm while minimizing significant trauma to the underlying tissues.

These implants became accessible in the era subsequent to the Battle of Yavin, throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War fought between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
