Lore

The Paladin came out of Virgil's industrial division as a prototype helmet for salvage and repair operations. Yet its striking design so impressed company executives that they integrated it into their personal armor line in StarCitizen:2855.<ref name="LCQ2208">Template:Cite RSI</ref> While the helmet's look stayed the same, Virgil reworked the design to use a combat rated, durable alloy for its distinct frame and reinforced the plating protecting the back of the head.<ref>StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.10.1 In-game description</ref> Virgil keeps updating the model with the latest defensive alloys to keep the Paladin Helmet competitive in the market.<ref name="LCQ2208" />

Trivia

• When the helmet was first revealed in a Jump Point magazine, many reacted that the helmet was aesthetically similar to a "Mandalorian" helmet from Star Wars: The Mandalorian, while others pointed out its similarities to the "Cylon" helmets from the 2004 Battlestar Galactica tv-series.
• Shortly after it was made available in Alpha 3.10.0, a StarCitizen:reddit user made video clips in both [[StarCitizen::Category:Worked on Star Wars|Star Wars]] and Battlestar Galactica styles.
