Specialized cold-assault stormtroopers trained to fight in frozen environments, such as the desolate wastelands of Hoth. Snowtroopers wear white armor equipped with terrain grip boots, protected breath masks, and powerful heating units. Like all stormtroopers, they also carry an assortment of survival gear in their utility belts. While they are trained to use standard blaster rifles, they also employ E-Web repeating blasters and numerous heavy weapons. Snowtroopers were largely responsible for routing the Rebel infantry during the Battle of Hoth.

Snowtroopers have proven one of the most successful specialized stormtrooper units, largely due to their advanced suits. Beneath a snowtrooper’s light armor are a pair of durable heated pants and a shirt. A snowtrooper’s helmet includes a face mask with a breath heater, Polarized snow goggles, a wrist comlink, and an insulating cape complete the outfit. The entire suit is powered by a heavy-duty power cell located on the snowtrooper’s backpack. Snowtroopers can survive for up to two weeks in even the harshest frozen environments on this power supply alone.

Snowtroopers carry E-11 blaster rifles as their standard sidearms, but are also trained to use E-Web heavy repeating blasters and other large weapons. They are comfortable traveling in AT-ATs and other Imperial transports, although they can travel long distances on foot.
