Imperial Armor (Skyrim)

Imperial Armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in. Imperial armor is primarily worn by Legates within the Imperial Legion.

Despite being made primarily of steel, it's among the weakest type of heavy armor available, on par with iron armor. Unlike other sets, it comes with three variants of helmet - the craftable Imperial Helmet, Imperial Officer's Helmet and the Closed Imperial Helmet.

Locations
Pieces of Imperial Armor typically cannot be found as random loot, however some pieces, with the exception of the cuirass, are worn by Imperial soldiers.

Fixed locations

 * Helgen Keep - the female Imperial Captain wears a full set that can be obtained if Ralof is followed during Unbound.
 * Dawnstar - Horik Halfhand, who serves as housecarl to Brina Merilis, wears a set, minus the helmet.
 * Alftand - Sulla Trebatius wears a set, minus the helmet, which can be obtained after he is killed. His helmet, an Imperial Officer variant is found inside Sulla Trebatuis Pack, in the torture chamber where Valie is found.
 * A set is awarded by Legate Rikke upon joining the Imperial Legion.
 * During the Liberation of Skyrim and Reunification of Skyrim, several pieces can be looted from Imperial soldiers that have fallen in battle at the many forts across Skyrim.
 * Haafingar Hold Guards wear Imperial Bracers and Imperial Boots.
 * Fort Frostmoth - Several pieces found on the ash covered shelves.

Smithing
Imperial Armor requires a Smithing level of 20 and the Steel Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
 * Leather Strips
 * Leather
 * Steel Ingot

Pieces can be upgraded with a steel ingot at a workbench and also benefit from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

Trivia

 * Imperial Armor largely resembles Roman lorica segmentata armor, in keeping with the overall theme of the Empire's military likeness to that of the Roman Empire.
