Mission Vao in Echani fiber armor.
Echani fiber armor was a type of light body armor worn by many elite Echani martial artists during the days of the Old Sith Wars,[1] centuries before the Battle of Yavin.
History
By the time of the Jedi Civil War, Echani fiber armor proved to be a highly versatile suit of armor and this along with the ease by which it could be modified made it popular among many professional soldiers and bounty hunters.[1]
In 3956 BBY, a friend of Gilthos Uksaris, the manager of the Twisted Rancor Trio, delivered a suit of Echani fiber armor to him at an apartment in the Lower City of Taris. Though Uksaris was not around to immediately receive it, the friend had secured the package in a footlocker protected by a Holo-Sec Corp anti-theft explosive and its complementing holographic security system.[1]
Before Uksaris arrived to retrieve the fiber armor, however, the mind-wiped former Jedi Revan cracked the security system and took the armor for his own use.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Echani fiber armor first appeared in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. If the player fully upgrades the armor, it provides the highest protection available to them during the events on Taris.
As is the case with many role-playing video games, robbing Uksaris' room does not affect the player's alignment.
