The storm commandos were elite members of a branch of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

History
The Imperial scientist Doctor Nashiak Llalik developed the armor of the storm commandos.

Equipment
Developed by Doctor Nashiak Llalik of COMPNOR's Science group, storm commando armor was produced by Imperial Munitions. Commando armor was based off that of the Empire's scout troopers. It was lightweight and nonrestrictive, but provided plenty of protection nonetheless. Their armor was made out of the material reflec, a polymer created around the time of their conception that could bend sensor rays away from the commando, rendering them practically invisible to light-based scans. To augment their stealth capabilities, storm commando armor had a thin layer of sound baffling in it, rendering them more sound-absorbent and allowing a commando to move with less noise. As commandos usually operated in darkness, their armor was customarily black without any insignia. The helmets, which were blast-reinforced like the armor, had ultraviolet night vision that made it easier for commandos to work in the dark. Commandos wore a two-piece temperature controlling body glove underneath their armor, also in clabk.

A standard storm commando was armed with a blaster pistol and blaster carbine. Their armor contained a pouch for explosives. Commandos were outfitted with the standard stormtrooper utility belt, and kept a survival kit on them containing rations, medpacs, emergency power cells, and a spare comlink. Commando specialists had additional equipment to suit their specific tasks. Assault units carried 2 concussion grenades apiece, and a heavier weapon of the unit commander's choice; if speed was a necessity, lighter weapons like grenade launchers or a light repeater would be chosen. Saboteurs carried detonite&mdash;about three satchels for every other trooper&mdash;and sometimes thermal detonators. Tech units were equipped with communication gear, computer probes, and other tools useful for the sabotage or surveillance of a target.
