Description: With Sarge's Purgation Suit completed, he realized he was going to need some serious potential backup were he to see his mission through to the finish. To this end, he began a careful process of hand selecting individuals to serve under him. These individuals were culled from the Protectorate Special Forces while others were pulled from Boot to undergo intense physical and psychological training.
This training ultimately revolved around a process that may be unfavorably be called brainwashing, or, were one to be generous, mental conditioning. Due to the high conversion rates of the One Sith, these soldiers were trained to all but worship the Force while spurning the Dark Side. This provides them something most others outside the Dark Side lack - faith. Faith in something more than them.
This faith is encouraged through training, leaving their minds tough bastions of obedience and faith, making them far less susceptible to corruption than their peers. To discuss this training here is important, not only to add some background to the armor, but provide flavor to the soldiers wearing it.
Because of the expense of forging these soldiers, Sarge knew plasteel would not provide enough protection to the men beneath. So, instead, he opted for the much more durable duraplast. This would provide just enough protection against lightsabers that should a soldier fall prey to one, he'd have time to get one more pull of the trigger off - assuming the blade comes into contact with the armor, that is.
Otherwise, there is little special about the armor other than that the pieces are typically molded based on measurements taken from each soldier upon their entry into the training. By the end of said process, the armor is a finished product and given to the soldier for future use. Because of this, it will not be seen outside of the unit in question, while it also will not provide full body protection to help conserve resources.
TL;DR
Essentially, a rework of this.
