Armor specifically designed for the Coruscant Guard during the Imperial Era on the world of Coruscant was known as Coruscant Guard armor. This armor was exclusively given to members of the Guard. More than a century later, the Knighthunters stormtrooper division in Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire adopted armor that drew inspiration from the Coruscant Guard's design on the planet.
Colored crimson and black, the armor was both lightweight and thoroughly padded. It was built to defend against physical strikes. The sophisticated battle helmet had advanced sensors lining it, enabling operation in total darkness, and also included a comlink scrambler for communicating with other personnel. A unit commander's helmet also featured a voice-activated heads-up display, which showed the locations of Coruscant Guard members. Optional tracking beacon software allowed a unit commander to constantly monitor the location of his subordinates. This display system also proved to be a helpful way to navigate the intricate urban layout of Imperial Center.
