Upgrade Path
Two mission upgrades at Fort Ithaca (68487, 87947). Each step consumes the piece and wipes any existing tiers.
Acquisition & Unlock
The base set
Vigilante is an M&J set, the go-to robot/drone armor — often paired with 6a plates.
Legacy set — no longer in the loot pool; acquired via the secondary market (player-to-player / auction).
Unlock the upgrade service
Before Atwell will upgrade anything, complete "Liaison Atwell's Request" — kill 500 Robot Warriors and/or Troopers (found everywhere; concentrations southwest of Fort Medusa and west of Jurra Plateau Outpost).
This one unlock opens all Imperial Guardian upgrades. Pieces must be at full condition with attachments removed.
The upgrade also consumes a donor (L) armor piece at full TT (a cheap limited set), turned in alongside your own piece.
