The Average Imperials: Stormtroopers

This page contains profile-like information about average Imperial stormtroopers.

Encased in protective armor and wielding the most powerful personal weapons available, Imperial stormtroopers form the Empire's elite shock troops and are feared throughout the galaxy. Stormtroopers support the two arms of the Imperial Military - assisting the ground forces and the fleets - but remain apart and seperate from those organizations. There are several branches of stormtroopers, along with the standard corps:

• Stormtrooper - Standard - These men are 100% loyal to the Emperor's will and are charged with crushing resistance and neutralizing opposition to the Empire.
• Stormtrooper - Cold Assault - The polar regions of most worlds remain frozen and inaccessible wastelands - the perfect hiding place for rebel outposts, smuggler ports, and pirate coves. In response, the Empire established the Blizzard Force Cold Assault Stormtroopers. The Snowtroopers are trained and equipped to operate in extremely frigid environments.
• Stormtrooper - Aquatic Assault - The Aquatic Assault Stormtroopers - or Seatroopers - are trained and equipped to operate below the seas of the thousand-thousand worlds of the galaxy.
• Stormtrooper - Scout Corps - Scout stormtroopers are assigned to Imperial garrisons. Imperial doctrine dictates that garrisons remain active and aggressive, performing constant patrols to establish a tangible presence. Scouts use the explosively fast Aratech 74-Z speeder bike to perform reconnaissance patrols.
• Stormtrooper - Zero G Assault - All stormtrooper armor provides limited protection against hard vacuum, but this elite division has been trained to operate entirely in outer space. Spacetroopers are deadly commandos of the highest order, second only to the Imperial Royal Guard in training loyalty and destructive capability.
• Stormtrooper - Radiation Zone Assault Trooper - A little known arm of the elite stormtrooper divisions. They have been trained to handle one of the deadliest terrain types known: heavy radiation zones. Their armor may be distincive, but is not at all recognizable. They wear silver and black, highly airtight and protective suits. Sometimes they are sent in to secure an area that has filled with radiation due to a preceeding battle or natural circumstances. Other times the Empire may actually fill a battle area with radiation. In either case, the radtrooper can move through this area with comfort in the knowledge that his suit should keep him safe.
• Stormtrooper - Storm Commandos - The storm commando is the Empire's answer to guerilla tactics. Trained in "hit-and-fade" tactics, these troopers achieve spectacular results. They are used in anti-Rebel operations, siege-breaking, "extractions," and in Base Delta Zero* operations against hard targets. The storm commandos wear armor resembling scout troopers, except it is all black.
• Stormtrooper - Imperial Royal Guard - The hand-picked personal guard of the Emperor. Chosen from the best stormtroopers, the Royal Guard accompanies the Emperor on all occasions. Individual Guardsmen, as a matter of practice, are rotated among various stormtrooper units to stay in proper battle readiness. They are used to stop assassination attempts, and perform covert assaults and assassinations.

The Zero G armor provides 40 points of protection, as well as 4 hours of power and 10 hours of oxygen. The suit has magnetic couplers to attach themselves to any ferrous metal surface. The suit has the following weapons: grenade launcher (missile weapons skill required to use, damage is 50), mini-proton torpedo launcher (starship gunnery skill is required to use, damage is 240), blaster cannon (blaster skill is required to use, damage is 60), and laser cutters (for cutting through hulls of ships, demolitions skill is required to use, damage is 120).

Radiation Zone Assault Stormtrooper: BZ stats:

Each Radtrooper wears special radiation armor that provides him with protection from radiation up to highly intense levels (don't ask me what, I don't know...possibly indefinite, unless penetrated) and gives added protection of 20 points from harm. They also carry a Sorosuub Stormtrooper II blaster carbine (damage is 70), 2 concussion grenades (damage is 50), a vibroblade (damage is strength + 30), a force pike (damage is strength + 40), and a survival kit.

Imperial Storm Commando: BZ stats:

Each storm commando wears a suit of black armor resembling a scout trooper that provides him with 10 points of protection. The visor in the helmet gives him UV night vision. The armor is made of a newly created polymer called reflec, which bends most types of sensor probes away from the wearer rendering him virtually invisible to most light probes. The armor is also fairly sound absorbent, enabling the wearer to move quietly. They also carry a blaster carbine (damage is 60), a blaster pistol (damage is 40), and a survival kit.

Imperial Royal Guard: BZ stats:

Each Royal Guardsman wears armor that provides 20 points of protection. They also carry a heavy blaster pistol (damage is 50) and a force pike (damage is strength + 30)
