1st Republic Armor
The major breakthrough in 1st republic defensive technology came in the form of Plasteel, a highly advanced polymer that was a hard as steel but significantly lighter leading to similar protection as 21st century combat armors for less weight, or simply more protection for similar weights. Plasteel and the resins applied to it also yielded modestly better energy protection as laser weapons were beginning to see common use. The only downside is that once these resins have been defeated the material yields significantly quicker to high heat than older iron-based designs.

2nd Republic Armor
The 2nd republic witnessed the advent of Ceramsteel and with it the most durable armors ever worn by mankind offering complete protection from all known attack vectors. The downside is that ceramsteel is simply heavier than steel and doesn't function properly in thin applications, therefore the 2nd republic also saw a significant rise of personal power armor to support the weight. Additionally polymer weave technology found it's apex as well in synthsilk.
