The Debitor-pattern Combat Boots were developed around 900 ABY amid growing tensions and military buildups between major galactic powers. While the military-industrial complex poured trillions of credits a year into developing new weapons, munitions, and personal shields, the most important piece of kit for a soldier—their footwear—had been long neglected. The engineers at Liquitidy Textiles developed a product to bring the humble combat boot into the 900s.
The new general-purpose combat boots provide a stable and comfortable platform for traditional soldiering. An impact gel innersole absorbs the kinetic energy from trips and falls to reduce foot injuries, while a light exoskeleton fitted around the ankle joint provides powered assistance to reduce fatigue and extend patrolling range. The propriety duranex-polynoreltin polymer is lightweight and high strength and provides protection against falling objects and environmental hazards. MagGrip and FrictionGrip technology offers improved traction over a variety of surfaces. Additional advanced capabilities—jump boot and hover boot technology—are built in but require an external power source, typically mounted on a utility belt or plate carrier (both sold separately).
The boots, named in the Aargauun tradition, are standard issue for the Dark Empire and Trade Federation Defense Focrce and are available galaxy-wide for military and civilian use through all reputable (and non-reputable) Trade Federation outlets.
