Scout trooper/Legends



A scout trooper was an Imperial stormtrooper that had been specially trained for scouting and reconnaissance.

Scout troopers wore specially modified, lightweight armor with greater flexibility than standard stormtrooper armor, and often used light repulsorlift vehicles such as the 74-Z speeder bike in the course of their duties, earning them the nickname "biker scouts". Although not wearing the best camouflage for a forest/jungle environment, unlike their Grand Army of the Republic predecessors, the scout troopers made up for it with speed and flexibility on a speeder bike. Scout troopers were very different than a normal trooper. They had a special visor which helped them see better in their environment, as well as concentrating their attention directly ahead so they could steer better.

Armor


Scout trooper armor was designed for the scout trooper to be able to move around and run without trouble.

They had white boots with a tan bottom, and one boot had a pistol holster. They wore a black body suit and knee pads for comfort when kneeling. Their waist armor included pouches where they held their weapons and tools. They had a groin flap for comfort when riding a speeder bike, and their chest armor was connected to their back armor, which housed a computer that powered up the suit.

Their helmets could zoom in, use night vision, turn in to polarized snow googles, and track enemies. They had limited arm armor and wore black gauntlets. They were sometimes sent to cold, snowy locations such as Hoth, as backup for AT-STs and AT-ATs.
