Stormtrooper armor is the standard protective uniform of the Imperial Stormtrooper. The design is based on the armor worn by the Clonetroopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, which itself is based on older Mandalorian designs. Stormtrooper armor is designed as much for intimidation value as protection, making them highly visible and distinctive agents of the Imperial regime.

Defense

Stormtrooper armor protects its wearer from many hostile environmental conditions, from extreme hot and cold, to even allowing the wearer to survive in the vacuum of space. In addition as acting as a full NBC suit, it protected from other forms of attack, such as from shrapnel and blasters. However, due to the sheer firepower of blasters, the protection that any armor can offer is limited; the armor cannot fully protect its wearer from a direct hit, although it may mitigate the impact. Stormtrooper armour is noted as being impervious to projectile weapons.

Features

Containing a built in air filters, vision enhancers, targeting systems, suit environmental controls and 20 minutes of emergency oxygen supply, Stormtrooper armor offers various features to aid in combat situations.
