Cale Darksun I think they have moderate body armor (Helmet, chestplate, arm and leg guards) a blaster rifle, and a few grenades, with seargeants and other NCOs equiped with vibro swords Since they're Sith troops, I expect them to be armored as such until proven otherwise. This is the most recent Sith Trooper armor: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sith_Troopers_Great_Wars.jpg
1.) I was waiting for someone to ask this...
2.) The Great War was many millenia before this. It is highly unlikely that the exact same type of armor is still being used.
3.) Like many of the systems under Sith control, Lyra is a feudal state largely independent of the rest. (Think medieval Europe or Japan) Therefore, their armor, tactics, and weaponry are likely to be far different than the galactic norm. For example, the standard Lyran soldier is equipped with:
Respirators and Fully sealed suits (Remember the environment...) Moderate body, arm, and leg armor A blaster rifle A heavy blaster pistol 3 sonic grenades 2 concussion grenades And a Lyran Energy shield (Think a more modern version of the Gungan's shields)
Like with every army there are specialized troops that differ from this standard, but that really goes without saying. Troops that carry equipment large enough to make use of the Lyran Energy shield ineffective carry a standard personal energy shield.
4.) For any who are interested, here's another pic of the Great War Sith Troopers...

Nelowulf Aurin_Starkiller Nelowulf How does one have a more modern version of a gungan shield, when the time is several thousand years before TPM? lol Because even 1,500 years after this RP, the Gungans were still considered very primitive. I didn't say it was a more modern version, anyway, I said think of it as if it was a more modern version. (As far as looks and function goes...)So were many other things when looked back upon 1500 years later. That's the point. in this era, they'd not be 'primitive'. Much like the crappy non-holonet communications, piss poor hyperdrives, and such, of course they'd be viewed as primitive come ANH. Jedi and Sith were considered primitive too. "Archaic weapons and hokey religions" ring a bell?
Okay, look at it this way. Personal energy shields, that cover the entire body, were around as far back as the Jedi Civil War. As time went on these became more and more advanced, but the same general concept still applied.
A more primitive version of the personal energy shield would be a handheld or wrist-attached energy shield that only protected a limited area of the body.
So if personal energy shields exist in this timeline than it makes sense to extrapolate that a simpler version of the same technology could also exist.
