Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Constantly upgraded in its sensor suite this helmet's design has been in the use of the CRAF for centuries, with only its materials and its electronic suite changing through the years. It is in the style of a "Fritz Helmet", a modest upgrade of the ACH-14 which the CRAF used to use back in the period of the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. However as war-fighting capability grew the CRAF realized its old helmets were anything but advanced anymore. So they asked Czerka Arms to develop new one, which they did. And since then, the CRAF's forces have been using this helmet as their mainstay protective headgear. There is not much to it beyond its protective capabilities and ability to be upgraded as newer and more advanced comms suites and helmet-mounted night vision and HUD's come out. However, as stated in the strengths and weaknesses, this helmet could be abused in RP both ways by exclusively hitting a small window (the face or neck) or not letting it happen enough.
