Kashyyykian hunting armor

OnALegendsArticle

The Kashyyykian hunting armor was a form of armor used by the Wookiees during the Galactic Civil War. This armor was developed to protect Wookiee hunters from extremely dangerous beasts found in the lowest reaches of Kashyyyk's massive forests.[3] The Kashyyykian hunting armor offered a high degree of protection against kinetic damage but lesser protection from energy-based weapons like blasters.[1] The complete armor set comprised a chest plate with an included helmet, left & right biceps, left & right bracers and leggings.[2] The armor combined functional protective coverings with trophies from past hunts.[3]

Two other models of Wookiee armors were the Kashyyykian black mountain and ceremonial armors.[2]

Kashyyykian hunting armors were worn by the Rryatt Ceremonial Guard and the Isolationist Wookiees.[4]
