Stormtrooper Armor

About the Stormtrooper Armor

The white armor of the Imperial stormtrooper is one of the galaxy's most recognizable sights, and one of its most debated. Molded from lightweight plastoid composite over a black bodyglove, a full suit covers its wearer head to toe, sealing against harsh environments, filtering air, and feeding a helmet full of comms and sensors. It turns aside glancing bolts and shrapnel and protects against blunt trauma and the elements, and it makes a legion of troopers into a single faceless, intimidating mass. Its reputation for stopping little is unfair, born of the elite foes stormtroopers so often faced; against ordinary fire it does its job well. As medium armor it balances real coverage with the mobility a soldier needs. Whatever its limits, the sight of a squad in Imperial white has quelled more resistance through fear than through firepower.
