The Battlemaster heavy combat armor was a ceramic-based protective heavy combat armor manufactured by Geth Armoury. Manufactured and entering service in 2168 CE, the Battlemaster armor was purpose-built by the Geth Heretics with help from the tank-bred krogan loyal to Saren's Alliance to be used by the legions of krogan planned to serve under Saren Arterius, namely by their battlemasters, as the name implies. Largely based on the Rage-class heavy battle armor used by the krogan forces of the defunct Tuchankan Imperial Forces, the Battlemaster armor incorporated geth technology and other improvements to make it one of the best combat armors in the galaxy, which included the powerful shields synonymous with the geth, thicker padding for absorbing impacts and greater flexibility for the user. The armor was expensive to produce, and very few krogan were deployed with the armor by the time the Eden Prime War broke out. Most of the krogan who used the armor were killed in battle, and those still under development were destroyed when the Normandy Squad detonated the nuclear device that would wipe out the Virmire Heretic Fortress. A variant of the armor, the Berserker medium combat armor, was also built for use by krogan forces made with lower quality materials and cheaper to build and designed to be used by krogan shock troops.

While the original Battlemaster combat armor blueprints were lost when the base on Virmire was destroyed, Urdnot Wrex was impressed with the technology and, during the war, collaborated with the geth following their introduction to the Reaper War to recreate the armor for use by UKC forces and, sure enough, enough of these Battlemaster B heavy combat armor would be produced to be worn by hundreds of krogan battlemasters during the Battle of London, and would be continue to be built post-war, even after the Galactic Dominion was formed until finally being phased out post-Dominion Civil War.
