The personal armband of Meetra Surik, the Jedi Exile, a Jedi Knight also known as Meetra Surik, was an item she owned. This red colored armband was left behind in her quarters on the Harbinger ship. It was later found after the vessel docked at the Peragus II Mining Station. Wearing it enhanced her health and resilience.
Description
The armband belonging to Meetra Surik was red and gave the Jedi a boost to both health and resilience. Visually, it resembled many other armbands from that period and could be worn on either arm. However, its unique design meant that only Surik could use it.
History
In the year 3951 BBY, during the height of the Dark Wars, the Human Jedi Knight Meetra Surik made her return to Republic territory. This followed her exile to the Unknown Regions for going against the wishes of the Jedi Council during the Mandalorian Wars. She became a passenger on the Republic Hammerhead-class cruiser known as the Harbinger, and her armband was among the items she kept in her cabin. When Sith assassins under the command of Darth Sion infiltrated the starship, Meetra Surik was evacuated aboard a small freighter called the Ebon Hawk, escaping without her possessions. During this escape, the Ebon Hawk sustained damage from Sith fire, barely managing an emergency jump to hyperspace. The ship then drifted, eventually finding refuge at a mining facility located on one of the asteroids within the Peragus asteroid field.
Later, the Harbinger arrived at the mining facility in pursuit of the Jedi. Surik and her newfound allies used the ship as their means of escape. While navigating the now Sith-controlled cruiser, Surik retrieved her armband from the cabin she had occupied as a passenger.
Behind the scenes
The armband of Meetra Surik was an item developed for Obsidian Entertainment's 2004 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. In the game, the Jedi Exile's name is determined by the player, and the armband is named accordingly. In the Xbox version, it's called "Jedi Exile's armband," while the PC version refers to it as either "Jedi Exile's band" or "Jedi Exile's armband." This article uses the more comprehensive name. The 2011 novel The Old Republic: Revan confirmed Meetra Surik as the Jedi Exile's name. In the game, the armband provides a +1 bonus to the constitution attribute of the player character, which influences both maximum health and resiliency.
