Minetrooper

Minetroopers were a special corps of stormtroopers who were especially trained for operating in the spice-ladden atmosphere of the spice mines on Sevarcos II and were under the direct command of Planetary Commandant Velpar Raftin.

The minetroopers wore special tan-colored armors that were sealed from the toxic spice-ladden atmosphere in the mines. Their primary assignment was not necessarily to stop rampaging spice eels or suppress revolts by the incarcerated spice miners, but rather to protect the mining equipment from damage and theft.
