The Silverback medium combat armor was a ceramic-based protective medium combat armor manufactured by Hahne-Kedar Solutions. Manufactured and entering service in 2163 CE, the Silverback armor was designed for use exclusively by turians, with the contract being for the Hierarchy Armed Forces to produce Silverback armor for the Marine Corps of Palaven. The Silverback would see limited use outside the turian military among turian mercenaries and paramilitary groups, but was primarily in service with the turian marines, largely equipped by their force recon, advance recon and expeditionary troops, and would also see some limited use in the Armiger Legion and Blackwatch. Being medium armor, it had moderate damage protection and was outfitted with decent kinetic barriers, balancing out damage protection and strong shields with the flexibility and mobility afforded to lighter armors. The Silverback armor would be phased out by 2184 CE, replaced by the Stormtrooper armor in use by mercenaries, by the Vestii medium combat armor in the turian marines and Blackwatch, and by the Legionary assault armor.
