Ablat armor is a cheap alternative to reflec fashioned from material which ablates (vaporizes) when hit by energy weapons fire. The ablation of the material carries away the energy of the weapons fire and protects the wearer. Continued fire against ablat degrades its effectiveness, but the armor is cheap and easily replaceable. Ablat also has some value against other forms of attack.
Ablative armor has been known since pre-spacefaring days. With the advent of increasingly effective energy weapons, ablative armor came into wider use and increasingly more effective ablative armors were developed.
