Sith stalker armor Sith Stalker Armor was a type of armor that was cybernetically grafted to the wearer , covering the entire body save the arms . Featuring design details resembling those found on Mandalorian and Ubese armor , Sith Stalker Armor presented a forboding and grisly countenance . Historically , this type of armor was favored by vicious Sith assassin s who were highly feared within the ranks of both the Sith and the Jedi . Specifications . Sith stalker armor , painfully grafted onto the wearer ' s flesh and bone , was meant to transform dark side disciples into powerful Sith assassins . It had an intimidating appearance that was designed to inspire fear in any enemy . Rather than utilize gauntlets , stalker armor instead replaced the vast majority of the hands with prostheses , though some flesh remained , allowing the user to apply Force lightning in combat without fear of it backfiring . The prostheses featured a set of metal claws attached to the finger tips . Despite their considerable length , they did not appear to cause any inconvenience on the part of the wearer , though this was likely just a result of practiced use . The head protection consisted of a form - fitting helmet that covered the entire head . The helmet face - plate resembled a Ubese bounty hunter mask with a Mandalorian - style T - bar visor . The armor also appeared to include some type of breathing apparatus , though the mechanism appeared to be controlled by the wearer , rather than automated , as the breathing pattern was forced and eclectic . Protecting the neck was a high metal collar that connected to a form - fitting pauldron protecting the right shoulder . The right forearm was protected by a set angular metal plates grafted to the flesh and connecting to the largely prosthetic right hand . The left arm and shoulder were left bare . The chest was protected by a set of ribbed , flexible armor plates . The armor included a series of leather belts , used to hold lightsabers taken from defeated opponents . Below the belts were another series of ribbed plates forming a girdle that protected the waist and crotch . Whatever leg protection was utilized remains hidden by the ragged , floor - length combat skirt . Beneath the plates and combat skirt , the wearer was clad in a skin - tight black bodysuit made of what appeared to be leather . This suit was also specially made to avoid hindering the wearers physical abilities of strength and agility , nor their skill with the Force . History . Marek ' s Visions . During his mission to Kashyyyk during the Great Jedi Purge , Darth Vader ' s secret apprentice , Galen Marek , codenamed Starkiller , wore the Sith Stalker Armor while experiencing a Force vision in which he killed a Jedi Knight . He later saw the same armor again while fighting a vision of himself wearing it in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Behind the scenes . In the dark side ending of " " , Galen Marek was grievously wounded by Emperor Palpatine but was salvaged with his body reconstructed similar to how Darth Vader was when he became the Emperor ' s Sith apprentice . There are six lightsabers on Marek ' s belt in this costume : his new Sith lightsaber , which features a set of three spiked blade guards ; his original lightsaber that he built under Vader ' s tutelage ; Rahm Kota ' s lightsaber , which also served as Marek ' s second ; one half of the lightsaber that previously belonged to Darth Maul ; Darth Vader ' s lightsaber ; and the top portion of Kazdan Paratus ' dual bladed lightsaber staff ( dual blades are only in the Wii and DS versions ) . Once completing the game and choosing the dark side ending , players have the option of playing again and wearing the Sith Stalker Armor . Modified versions of it are featured in the " Ultimate Sith Edition " version of the game . During the Tatooine mission , the player wears a set dubbed the " Desert Survival Gear " , which includes Tusken Raider garb worn over the armor itself . In the Hoth mission , a variant referred to as the " Dark Lord ' s Armor " is featured . The description stub stated that it was largely inspired by Vader ' s armor , and it included many modifications from the standard Sith Stalker Armor . The original skin - tight leather body suit and the ribbed abdominal plates are replaced by a full body - suit made of the same quilted material as the one featured on Vader ' s armor , along with similar looking pectoral armor . The hands are gloved and the helmet has an outwards slanting metal plate attached that protects the rear and sides of the neck , and mimics the silhouette of Vader ' s helmet .
