Clone cold assault trooper/Legends



Clone Cold Assault Troopers were a specialized division of clone troopers within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars and during the first years of the Galactic Empire. A legion of these clones were led by Commander Keller

Like their name indicates, Cold Assault Troopers were specially trained for battle and survival in extremely cold regions. Their specialized Phase II Armor was specifically designed to protect the wearer from extremely low temperatures and was one of the prototypes for the armor eventually wore by Imperial snowtroopers. Its design was similar to one of the armors wore by Galactic Marines

The transmission of Order 66 and the establishment of the Galactic Empire reached Keller's Cold Assault Troopers when stationed on the frozen world of Toola, in the Outer Rim Territories. They were tasked with tracking down the fugitive Jedi heading for Ithaqua Station. The Jedi rode on STAPs to flee their pursuit, while Keller and his men used local beasts of burden as mounts to navigate the frozen plains to fullfill their mission.
