[Source] AV-1A assault armor was GTU's large and advanced suit of powered armor that blurred the line between "personal armor" and "personal vehicle". Developed some time before the Clone Wars, GTU AV-1A was intended for military use, but its high price precluded widespread adoption. At 50,000 credits for the base model, a single suit was around the cost of a starfighter, and required a near-equivalent level of training to achieve proficiency. Nevertheless, it remained very effective. It was one of several different types of AV series assault armor.
