Shield (physical armor)

A shield was a broad piece of armor carried on the arm that was used as a defense against blows or hurled objects. During the Clone Wars, the clone riot troopers of the Coruscant Guard used riot shields in conjunction with a baton. The riot gear used by the stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire also included a shield. The Wookiee warriors of Kashyyyk used wooden shields that had a reverse teardrop shape. Maz Kanata's collection of antique items included a shield fashioned of an unknown silvery metal. The Kyuzo warriors wore helmets that doubled as shields and as missiles.
