EVO trooper



The EVO troopers (short for "Environmental"), or heavy stormtroopers were an organization of stormtroopers equipped with heavy armor and breathing tubes. They were trained to survive in the most hazardous conditions such as extreme heat, acid rivers, and lightning. They were equipped with FA-3 flechette launchers and some utilized T-21 light repeating blasters. They were possibly a variant or predecessor to the Hazard trooper or a Phase III version of Heavy trooper.
