The Duelist heavy combat armor was a ceramic-based protective heavy combat armor manufactured by Elanus Threat Management Solutions. Manufactured and entering service in 2141 CE, the Duelist armor was designed for use by turians, asari and krogan, with a fourth variant designed later on following humanity's introduction to the galactic community, designed for use by human males. The Duelist, unlike their Guardian armor, was not meant to be used by ERCS personnel, although it did ultimately end up being used at the discretion of ERCS security on specific worlds: the Duelist was instead meant for use by other security organizations and PMCs, but also found use in the asari military as the standard issue combat armor of the Army of the Republics. Being heavy armor, it had high damage protection and was outfitted with strong kinetic barriers, although this made it less flexible and bulkier. The Duelist armor would be phased out by 2184 CE, entirely replaced by the Stormtrooper armor in use by human, asari and turian mercenaries, the A1S armor among krogan mercs and the BAR assault armor in the asari military.
