Talk:Cold assault stormtrooper

Are Snowtroopers really Stormtroopers?
Do we have any proof, that the Snowtroopers on Hoth are really Stormtroopers other than WEG sourcebooks and computer games based on them? I always had the impression, that the attack was carried out by the Imperial Army and that those Snowtroopers were simply regular army soldiers with arctic gear. If you look at General Veers' battle armor, it looks almost the same as theirs, just in imperial grey. It would explain why the Snowtroopers wear rank badges and not full stormy armor.

Sure, I know this might be the start of another unnecessary discussion, but I really don't believe they are Stormtroopers and WEG made a couple of wrong guesses, like the 160km Death Star II and the 8km Executor.

 * Snowtroopers are a branch of the Stormtrooper Corps, just like scout troopers and so on. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 15:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there any official source on that? The Scout Troopers don't have rank insignia and wear a variation of Stormtrooper armor (black body glove, white armor plates), while the armor of the snowtroopers seems to be a variation of the regular army troopers' protection.
