What are the Stormtroopers?
Posted by DevanJedi in Troops FAQ on May 11th, 2006
The last evolution in the line of the Clone Troopers, encased in hardened white plastoid armor, these Imperial shock troops neutralize resistance to the New Order and are totally loyal to the Emperor even in the face of certain death. Used as first-strike forces, they cannot be bribed or blackmailed. Stormtroopers live in a totally-disciplined environment and are militaristic to the core.
Scout troopers, very lightly armored for mobility, are usually assigned to Imperial garrisons. They use speeder bikes to patrol perimeters, perform reconnaissance missions and scout enemy locations.
The standard stormtrooper suit of body armor can adapt to all but the most extreme climatic conditions, and various gear accessories and backpacks are issued to support operations in environments such as open sand or jungle. Field units may wear shoulder pauldrons as high-visibility rank indicators.

Yes. Great armor. Sadly it cant even withstand a hit from a wooden arrow and cracks easily after a small fall and a few hits from ewok with a rock.

So now your pretending like stormtroopers aren’t soldiers recruited into the Imperial Army just because Lucas decided clonetroopers used to exist? That’s just stupid!
