The Ubese raider armor, also known as Ubese armor, was a type of armor usually worn by Ubese trackers.
Description[]
Ubese armors offered a high degree of protection against energy-based weapons like blasters but lesser protection from kinetic damage.[1] A complete armor set consisted of a helmet, a shirt, a jacket[2] with impact armor for the neck and chest, chest-mounted comlink and Ubese clan belt-clasp,[4] left & right bracer,[2] spiked[4] gloves, a bandolier[2] with projectile detonator and ammo pouches,[4] pants and boots. It was available in several different colors.[2] The armor was ideally suited for upgrades and modifications.[8]
A helmet and a pair of Ubese gloves.
The helmet featured a flash guard visor,[8] a targeting laser, a vision-plus scanner, an audio pickup, a broadband antenna, a speech scrambler.[4] The headgear also contained an enviro filter designed to filtrate toxic fumes and maintain a Type II atmosphere for Ubese traveling throughout the galaxy. For non-Ubese users, it was possible to adapt the helmet to accept a Type I enviro-filter but the modification reduced the reliability of the seal.[8]
History[]
- "They belonged to Boushh, an Ubese bounty hunter. Boushh was quite good at the trade. He did a lot of contract work for Black Sun. He… retired recently."
- ―Guri, giving Boushh's outfit to Leia Organa
During the Galactic Civil War, Ubese armors became popular among spacers.[2] In addition, a number of bounty hunters affiliated with the Rebel Alliance used to wear this kind of armor.[10] The armor was also worn by Sith Shadow warriors.[11]
The bounty hunter Boushh was an individual who wore an Ubese armor. That particular suit was also used by Leia Organa in 4 ABY, when attempting to rescue Han Solo from Jabba's Palace.[4]
