Fenelar armor was a type of highly valued heavy armor produced by the Fenelar species.[1]
Characteristics[]

Manufactured by the Fenelar, Fenelar armor was constructed from a variety of exotic minerals, including Phrik, which the Fenelar were the first to develop.[1] Because of these materials, Fenelar armor was renowned for its heavy protection - comparable to heavy battle armor - while retaining a high degree of flexibility, mobility, and relative light weight at twenty kilograms.[3] Combined, this made Fenelar armor handle and feel more like a medium armor in terms of weight and dexterity, while retaining all the benefit of a heavier armor.[3] In addition to its heavy protection, the bracers of Fenelar armor contained concealed combat knives, while the helmet contained an integrated motion sensor array, audio sensor, comlink, and infrared imager.[3] Fenelar armor was deliberately designed to intimidate those who saw it, and each set was elaborately engraved; combined with its storied history and fierce reputation, this meant that those who wore the armor were sure to be feared.[3]
History[]
The Fenelar species was exterminated by the Mandalorian Crusaders between 5,000 and 4000 BBY, which effectively ceased production of new suits of the highly respected armor.[5][1] This made Fenelar armor a scarce item past the Old Sith Wars, and a collectors item in the Imperial Era.[3] Gallo Memm, a crime lord on Vaynai was one such collector during the time of the Galactic Empire, and kept a suit of Felenar armor valued at 55,000 credits within a transparisteel case at his compound.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Fenelar armor was referred to as Felenar armor in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.[2] Jason Fry has confirmed this as a spelling mistake.[6]
