The man-o'-war body armor, a creation of the Iskalonians, represented a specific style of armor. This armor featured a pair of rounded horns atop the helmet, integrating diverse sensors and wireless communication tools, and a golden screen to shield the user's eyes. Furthermore, its robust construction allowed it to withstand the explosion of a grenade with minimal harm, and it was capable of repelling blaster fire. By 5 BBY, it was regarded as an item of significant rarity.
The Pantoran named Kosh Kurp succeeded in obtaining a suit of this armor, colored crimson, throughout the twenty years he dedicated to pursuing Sonopo Bomoor. This pursuit was intertwined with his exploration of different weapons, all driven by his desire for retribution against Bomoor, who was responsible for the annihilation of his family during the Massacre of Bonaka Nueno on his home planet, Intuci.
