The weapons technicians employed by the Galactic Empire wore protective headgear that was nicknamed the "jawbone helmet." The helmets were black and covered the eyes with a visor that prevented flashes of light from blinding the wearer. The helmets had a distinct curved shape that helped provide some protection from waves of energy.[1]
