Swamptrooper armor

Swamp trooper armor was a modified variant of stormtrooper armor used by swamp troopers. It was adapted with additional sealants and environmental units for use on wetland environments.

Characteristics
There were at least three models to the armor. The first model, utilized by those stationed on the first Death Star, possessed a helmet with the Galactic Empire's logo emblazoned on the forehead, a long dark visor, a built-in respirator mask, and a infrared sensor package installed on the left side of the helmet. There were also three ridges near the back of the neck. The torso armor was a full set of body armor with several emergency flotation packages near the bottom of the armor. They also wore a backpack containing a vital gas filtrator, an emergency survival kit, two climate control units, and two spare power packs. The lower part of the body was also placed in a sealed environment uniform as well as a pair of sealed boots. The left gauntlet is also equipped with a dedicated depth sensor, and it comes equipped with a specialized hand blaster that features the main blaster unit on the top barrel and the bottom barrel possessing a grappling hook assembly, with a quick release button and a winch unit for attachment. Spare grappling hooks were also included near one of the emergency flotation packages.

The second model bore several similarities to the Scout trooper armor, or more commonly the Scout trooper variant of the Imperial Forest Camouflage Armor, save for it being primarily colored green instead of white, as well as possessing gray knee armor. This type was used during a battle against several Gungans on Naboo.

The third model had several similarities to the first model, although it was more streamlined, with the line visor being replaced with goggle-shaped visors, a black utility belt, pelvis armor, as well as possessing leg and arm armor. They also bore some red stripes. The helmet also has a mouthpiece similar to the second model. This armor saw use during the assault on the Jedi praxium on Yavin 4.

Regardless of the model, all the armors were tinted green in order to aid in camouflage in forested wetlands and various battle theaters located in swamps, lakes, rivers, and other waterways where settlements cluster on habitable planets. The armor was also modified to incorporate environmental sealants to keep out various biological perils thriving in swamp environments (such as colonies of toxic bacteria, swarms of stinging insects, amphibious carnivores, and others). The helmets of the various models are also fitted with rebreathers to filter in breathable oxygen and allow them to operate for a limited time underwater. The hemlets' lenses featured multi-pectrum view-finders and terrain-mapping software.

Weaponry included Golan Arms FC-1 flechette launchers for the standard troops, Imperial Heavy Repeaters for squad leaders, and equipment included a survival kit packed with an emergency float and a serrated vibroknife.
