Phase-IV Clone Trooper Armor

The Phase-IV Armor was the primary heavy assault Clone & Droid Trooper armor developed by the Kaminoans as an advanced form of Heavy tactical armor protection over basic Galactic Imperial Stormtrooper Armor that has existed for nearly a century.

Basic Armor Structure and Compostion
The overall build of Phase-IV Armor is fairly similar to basic Stormtrooper Armor yet is still more advanced in many ways. The armor is basically individually placed armatures and jointed plating worn over the torso and limbs with a protective helmet and heavy armored skirt made of a heavy anti-EM insulation lined with a loose blast shield fabric interwoven with an anti-laser mesh.

Just as their Imperial counterparts Phase-IV Troopers wear a full size armored body glove consisting of intersewn sheets of reinforced lightweight alloy plating. The plating was as flexible as regular fabric thus making it as a kind of anti laser "Kevlar". All Phase-IV Armor is equipped to withstand the extreme elements of both other worlds and space. With the inate ability to withstand both heat and cold the armor can allow the wearer to live for hours in open space (unlike most forms of Stormtrooper armor which can only withstand up to 20 to 45 minutes in outer EVA conditions.
