Background: Meknek helmets were a type of space helmet used by itinerant meknek workers during the High Republic Era. White in color with a tinted visor, they had a pivoting actinic work lamp mounted on each side of the head and a reinforced breathing hose running out of the back. The hose led to a square unit worn on the wearer’s back that included a vital gasses status display indicator on one side and a replaceable alga-scrubber convertor tube at the bottom. Fully enclosing the head, they could be worn with an EVA suit and attached to them by a pressure-retaining neck seal.
In 132 BBY, the mekneks Fillik and Verosha Aniseya wore meknek helmets while making repairs to a shield generator on the exterior of the Trade Federation WD-2550 Whydah-class yield conveyer Fallon while it was in space.
