Paladin Helmet Black/Silver

The Paladin Helmet Black/Silver is a medium helmet manufactured by Virgil Ltd.^[1]

Description

The Paladin came out of Virgil's industrial division as a prototype helmet for salvage and repair operations. Yet its striking design so impressed company executives that they integrated it into their personal armor line. While the helmet's look stayed the same, Virgil reworked the design to use a combat rated, durable alloy for its distinct frame and reinforced the plating protecting the back of the head.

Lore

The Paladin came out of Virgil's industrial division as a prototype helmet for salvage and repair operations.

Trivia

When the helmet was first revealed in a Jump Point magazine, many reacted that the helmet was aesthetically similar to a "Mandalorian" helmet from Star Wars: The Mandalorian, while others pointed out its similarities to the "Cylon" helmets from the 2004 Battlestar Galactica tv-series.
Shortly after it was made available in Alpha 3.10.0, a reddit user made video clips in both Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica styles. Community manager Jared Huckaby tweeted these video's on his twitter.^[6]
