A '''prestige cataphract helmet''' is a full-head power [[armor]] helmet introduced by the [[Royalty DLC]] that forms a full set along with the [[prestige cataphract armor]]. It combines the defensive ability of the [[cataphract helmet]] with additional the psychic boosts and noble-pleasing of [[eltex]] apparel.

As a complicated piece of technology, Cataphract Helmets can only be made at the [[Fabrication bench]] and requires [[Research#Cataphract armor|Cataphract Armor]] to be researched in order to be constructed. Researching Cataphract Armor in turn requires the previous [[Research#Recon Armor|power]] [[Research#Marine Armor|armor]] projects to be researched as well as the use of two Cataphract Armor [[Techprint]]s to unlock. Crafting the helmet requires {{icon|plasteel|75}} [[plasteel]], {{icon|advcomponent|1}} [[advanced component]] and {{icon|gold|90}} [[gold]].
  
 
Alternatively, the helmet can be received as a quest reward, purchased from traders, or found on [[Empire#Pawns|Stellic Guards]].

== Analysis ==  
The prestige cataphract helmet improves a pawns [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by 5%, and improves the pawn's base [[Psycasts#Neural_Heat_Recover_Rate|neural heat recovery rate]] by 0.033 heat per second, though this will be modified by their psylink level. This primarily improves a pawns psychic power, but note that it also makes them more susceptible to psycasts themselves, as well as [[Events#Psychic Drone|psychic drone]]s. This increase is inferior to the [[eltex helmet]] that the prestige Cataphract helmet replaces, but in exchange it is significantly more protective.

Protection-wise, the prestige cataphract helmet is exactly as defensive as the regular cataphract helmet. Cataphract helmets provides the best protection of any helmet in the game, especially against blunt, and can block heat damage. Like [[recon helmet]]s and [[marine helmet]]s, and unlike the [[Simple helmet|simple]] or [[flak helmet]] it covers the entire head, including the Jaw, Nose, Ears and Eyes to provide comprehensive protection. It provides roughly the same protection as a Marine Helmet of one quality level above its own, or of Recon Helmet two quality levels above its own. It also allows a pawn to reach the cap of 200% sharp protection at Legendary quality.

Unfortunately, it is much more expensive, needs a long time to make and also needs the Cataphract Armor research before being available. Acquiring it through fighting the Empire is also difficult due to their ubiquitious [[death acidifier]] implants and the general difficulty of killing the pawns wearing this armor and carrying the empires best weapons. Unlike the armor however, it offers no penalty to movement speed, meaning that should one be available, it will be a straight upgrade to any other available helmet of similar quality.
