Armored Stormtrooper



Armored Stormtroopers, also known as Heavy Stormtroopers, were elite units of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. They are distinguished from other Imperial Stormtroopers by their heavier armor, orange shoulderpads similar to that of a Stormtrooper marine, and a red monacle-like device on their right eye. They were also known to utilize heavy weapons.

During the New Republic liberation of Coruscant in the Galactic Civil War, various Armored Stormtroopers within Elite Squadron were deployed to guard the Imperial Palace. However, they weren't able to hold off the oncoming New Republic Forces nor stop them from liberating all of Coruscant.

Behind the scenes
Armored Stormtroopers were units that were deployable among the Galactic Empire faction in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds as well as its expansion. They were able to be created via troop centers used by the Empire.
