Imperial Army trooper

Imperial Army Troopers are the standard infantry of the Imperial Army. They are the most common soldiers of the Empire on most subject worlds. Their uniform is similar to that of the Imperial Navy Troopers, but it is grey instead of black. Army Troopers also wear plasteel armour on their upper bodies for protection. For weapons, they carry blaster rifles and grenades.

Whereas the elite Stormtrooper Corps is employed for boarding actions and strategically important attacks, Imperial Army Troopers are used to keep the peace on subject worlds. They are also the branch of the military that is usually responsible for operating terrestrial vehicles, such as the AT-AT.

Equipment
Imperial Army soldiers are equipped with a blaster rifle and three concussion grenades. Senior troopers are issued blaster pistols. Army Trooper helmets are equipped with several anti-flash-blinding lenses, a night vision viewplate, and an attached comlink. They also carry four spare blaster power packs, three ion flares, a ration pack, three water packs and a medpac.

The standard Army Trooper field backpack is equipped with a personal tent, five concentrated rations packs, fifteen water packs, eight blaster power packs and an ABC protection mask for combat in hostile climates.
