Do I get to throw Thermal Detonators around like candy? In the RPG, they did like 10d6 damage!
Oops, wrong game.
great.
these white-armored Imperial troopers were the footsoldiers of the EmperorÂ’s war machine. They are extremely loyal to the Empire, but are also extremely expendable. Although there are many rumors about stormtroopers being clones, in general the average stormtrooper is a normal human male who fits within a certain physical and mental profile. They wear an 18-piece suit of white armor covering a two-piece, temperature-control body suit. The armor houses an energy source and various implements, and snaps together around the trooper. The helmet contains a polarized visor and communication gear. The image of the white-clad soldiers was one of the primary ways the Empire instilled fear in its subjects, but the bright white armor was not suited for many environments, as the Empire learned at the Battle of Endor. So, in the years following the death of the Emperor, Imperial factions began camouflaging their armor to blend in with their surroundings. Stormtroopers train for one of a number of different mission profiles, based on the environment in which they will operate. Basic training allows stormtroopers to operate in temperate or controlled interior environments. Cold Assault Troops wear specially-modified armor so that they can operate in harsh, frozen environments. Zero-G Troops wear highly-refitted, vacuum-resistant armor for use in deep space. Scout troops are assigned to garrison posts, employing speeder bikes and other swift craft to patrol surrounding areas. Aquatic Assault troopers are equipped to operate in marine or other underwater arenas, while Desert Assault troopers were trained to do battle in the harsh conditions of a desert. Radtroopers were specially-trained to perform operations in areas with high concentrations of radioactivity, and the Shadowtroopers of the Storm Command were among the most elite special forces troops in the Imperial military.
