Hey guys and gals

I am looking for armor that gives defense bonuses over soak and can increase said defense bonuses.

Looking for something that would fit a Miraluka Nimian Disciple.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also what attachments can increase defense please.

So many things to look through in Gear and Gadgets.

Here is a list I compiled of a bunch of gear, it doesn't have the stuff from GaG yet, just from what books I have (though there is some overlap). You can look through the armor tab to see what suits you (pardon the pun).

For attachments, Portable Plasma Shield (CotR) and the Droid Brain Defense System (FO) are the only attachments I know of that increase Defense.

The only "armor" that gives primarily Defense rather than Soak , is Heavy Robes from Rise of the Separatists . And that's because of the robes' volume obscures the wearer's silhouette, thus, making the wearer harder to hit. In fact, Heavy Robes only have a Defense value, and no Soak. Most armor is primarily Soak (as it should be).

Get concealing robes, add armor inserts from cyphers and masks (air spy book) after modifications you have 2 soak and 2 defense for I think 800 credits total. If you want more defense reverse engineer (rules in fully operational I think) to add a hardpoint, then add portable plasma shield (2500 credits from collapse of the republic) which can increase the defense to 4/4 (max possible) but you will be limited to using 1 handed weapons (no double bladed lightsaber).

Ugh. No. Don't add armor inserts. They're made of pure cheese.

They're quite unbalanced and stupidly cheap for what they do for no particular reason. Sewing some concealed armored plates into your clothes should not make them equal or superior to heavy battle armor. Asking your GM to ban them from your campaign is a sane option unless you want every npc moderately ready for trouble to have them.
