Mandalorian Armor | Mchno-chair | Turret Gun | Darth Vader Bio-mechanical Suit | Vibro-Ax

Boba Fett's Mandalorian Suit

Fett wears the armor of the Mandalorians, a group of fearsome warriors dating back to ancient times who were defeated by the Jedi Knights. His modified armor includes a helmet with a macrobinocular viewplate, motion and sound sensors, infrared capabilities, an internal comlink with his ship (the Slave I), and a broad-band antenna for intercepting and decoding transmissions; wrist gauntlets that house lasers, a miniature flame projector, and a fibercord whip/grappling device; a back-pack jet pack with a turbo-projected magnetic grappling hook with a 20-meter lanyard; knee-pad rocket dart launchers, spiked boots, a concussion grenade launcher and a BlasTech EE-3 rifle. Braided Wookiee scalps hang over his right shoulder.

Mechno-Chair 

Walking mechno-chairs are neither comfortable nor practical. However, they are hugely expensive and express the high status of their user. They also serve as platforms for hologram transmissions of high-ranking individuals.

Turret Gun

The DF.9 Anti-Infantry turret battery stands ready to defend Rebel troops on Hoth from invading forces. This model is designed to be effective against infantry and small vehicles such as speeder bikes and skirmishing or scout craft. The battery is no match for the full-strength Imperial battle armor cladding the AT-AT walkers, however, and the Rebels knew that at best they would fight a delaying action from the snow trenches.
While the turret gun incorporates a proton shield generator and laser armor, the heavy blast cannons of the Imperial walkers pack a devastating punch. As the Imperial Blizzard Force closed range on the Rebel snow trenches, the defensive emplacements and their crews inside were blasted and destroyed.

Darth Vader's  Bio-Mechanical Suit

Darth Vader's grim black attire is a life-support system, his labored mechanical breathing the sound of a walking iron lung. Critically injured in a lightsaber battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi years ago, Vader became "more machine than man," kept alive only by the devices built into his suit. The fearsome visage of his breath mask reflects the dark identity that he assumed after his fall from the light side of the force.
Vader can only remove his mask in a special hyperbaric chamber, such as this one on board his Star Destroyer Executor. Allowing no one to assist him, Vader relies on mechanical devices to remove and replace his helmet and metal breath screen.

Vibro-Ax

Lando Calrissian went undercover as a guard in the palace of Jabba the Hutt, waiting in disguise for the right moment to rescue Han Solo. His weapon is a form of vibro-ax, a SoroSuub BD-1 Cutter. In such weapons an ultrasonic vibration generator makes the blade sing with a high-pitched whine, enabling it to lacerate with the merest touch.
