The only exceptions to these are class locked armor types, armor bound to an NPC, and Adaptive Armor which automatically adjusts to the armor proficiency of the character’s class. This also applies to the available armor types which fall under the categories of Light, Medium, and Heavy armor.

For example, only Jedi and Sith can specialize in using lightsabers and only Jedi Shadows and Sith Assassins can use double-bladed lightsabers. Each one of the Advanced Classes has a passive armor and weapon(s) proficiency that determines what gear players can use with their SWTOR character.
