Scout trooper armor

Scout troopers wore a suit of armor during their service in the Galactic Empire.

Description
Since scout troopers were light scout sniper units, their armor was noticeably lighter than normal stormtrooper armor. Their helmets had visors that allowed them to see longer distances, for sniping and reconnaissance purposes. On their torso, the armor had several packs, allowing the trooper to carry various equipment. Most of the equipment they carried was used for survival and camping, as they did much of it during long scouting treks. Scout troopers were trained and equipped to be able to survive without assistance from other Imperial forces for long periods of time. On their right legging, a small holster was built in for special blaster pistols. On Hoth, during the battle there, scout troopers wore specialized armor, similar to that of snowtroopers, to keep warm.
