Description: Starkiller: Concept Sith Robes
Prefix: SL
Detachment: The Flagship Eclipse Detachment
Context: Star Wars The Force Unleashed

Born the son of Jedi Knight Kento Marek, Galen was on Kashyyyk when he was discovered by Darth Vader.

Vader's training of Galen Marek was brutal, and his efforts resulted in a killing machine named Starkiller.

  • They are curved to follow the shape of the upper arms.

  • Two thin belts, each approximately 2.5 cm wide, are worn over the base belt. These belts are held in place with black leather belt keepers which are spaced at intervals around the waist.
  • Both of the small belts have a side-release buckle at the center front.
  • A pentagon shaped silver plate is located just to the right side of the side release buckles. It is as wide as the base belt, and it covers both of the smaller belts.
