Another variant of the Phase II armor was the Katarn armor.
Phase II armor was the basis of the stormtrooper armor later worn by the soldiers of Emperor Palpatine's Empire. Phase II armor was introduced around 21 BBY, and slowly replaced Phase I armor in the months following. Unlike early iterations of the Phase I armor, color was used to denote unit affiliation instead of rank. It could also support more modular attachments, making it superior to its predecessor. Phase II incorporated all of its predecessor's systems in addition to polarized lenses, padding, and stronger, lighter armor plates. Halle Burtoni showing a Phase II armor hologram.
