Stormtrooper Information Central

The Imperial STORMTROOPER is the foot soldier of the Empire. They are serving by the thousands in highly-trained Legions aboard starships, starbases, outposts, and countless worlds where the presence of the Empire is needed. Their characteristic white armor conceals the blackness of their souls. Their minds have been molded flawlessly into mere extensions of the Emperor's will. They cannot be bribed, influenced or pleaded with; they are carefully selected for their unquestioning determination to serve the Emperor to the death.

The standard STORMTROOPER uniform consists of a black, temperature-controlled body glove, over which is worn a white, contoured, 18 piece, anti blaster, thick armor shell, consisting of: torso, abdomen / cod piece, back torso / oxygen unit, lower back / posterior and two of each of; upper arm, fore arm, thighs, lower leg, hands, boots and shoulders. This durable uniform is a practical spacesuit, which will protect it's wearer in almost any environment, from total vacuum to extremes in cold and heat for a limited time. Breathable air is normally taken in through filtered vent slots on the forward sides of the uniform helmet, but in emergency situations-as in movement underwater or through open space-a 20 minute atmosphere supply built into the armor's backplate automatically provides the wearer with oxygen.

The Imperial Snowtroopers are special corps of Stormtoopers trained to fight on ice and snow covered worlds. They are a first-strike force designed to suppress opposition quickly. Their armor provides protection against low temperatures as well as blaster fire. Breather hood envelopes face plate and feeds into suit liner. Back packs contain heating units and survival gear.

The Imperial Biker Scouts are assigned to garrison posts. They perform speeder bike patrols and reconnaissance missions. They wear specialized light-weight armor that enables them to easily handle their speeder bikes. This specialized uniform is similar to Stormtrooper uniforms but they are simpler and more pared down, with pieces of white body armor attached to a black undergarment. There is a breastplate with connecting shoulder, elbow, and forearm pieces, and a wide, utilitarian belt. The helmets, with a built-in breathing apparatus and opaque eye covering, enclose and protect the entire head.
