 | Technical Name: Phase XI Stormtrooper Armor Manufacturer: Imperial Department of Military Research Model: Stormtrooper Armor Affiliation: Galactic Empire Composition: Armorplast, camo skin, ballistic gel, armorweave Classification: Body Armor Weight: 16 kg Description: Worn by the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire, stormtrooper armor comes in a variety of models based around a standard white-and-black shell. Filled with electronics that assist and augment the stormtrooper in his duties, it includes environmental protection, three-phase sonic filtering, and visual amplification. Because the stormtrooper armor is so effective as compared to earlier models, most of the earlier environmental variants were reduced; only scout trooper armor remains commonly found. The basic model has not changed in five hundred years - indeed, it is nearly identical on the exterior - when the camouflage is not active. |
- Active Camouflage: The most noteworthy departure from the first models, this is a camouflage coating that covers the armor plates. While deactivated, the coating is transparent and shows the white armorplast below. While active, it takes in imagery of its surroundings and generates an image to make the wearer blend in better than any pattern could. It is most effective while the wearer is stationary, but even while he is moving provides excellent concealment.
- Armor Plating: The armorplast is rated for two blaster pistol shots to a limb and three to a torso, or about half as many blaster rifle shots. It is much better against slugthrowers, save for those specifically designed to penetrate armor.
- Body Glove: The body glove has zersium-impregnated ballistic gel packets providing near-total protection, the packets being sandwiched in between layers of armorweave. The gel is excellent against very nearly any melee weapon except lightsabers, while the armorweave disperses blaster bolts and even provides some protection against lightsabers.
The body glove is also environmentally sealed, providing protection against extremes of heat and cold, radiation, corrosive environments, biological, and chemical attack.
Helmet: The helmet's sensor package includes a MFTAS that provide a targeting assistance program by painting target reticules on the HUD, multi-spectrum imagers, and the ability to see through smoke, darkness, and other low-vis conditions. The helmet also has advanced breath filters, a built-in comlink with encryption and multi-band communication capabilities, and a voice-amplifier. It also has automatic polarizing and anti-flash lenses that protect against intense glare and sonic filters that protect against intense, loud, and disabling sounds. - Utility Belt: A high-tension wire, two grappling hooks, four spare blaster power packs, three ion flares, energy rations, a spare comlink, three water packs, two medpacs, two blast energy sinks, a thermal detonator, a combat de-ionizer, and binders.
- Backpack: In addition to the 30-minute supply of air and the power pack located in the backplate, the stormtrooper armor includes an assault pack designed to carry additional equipment necessary for particular missions. The stormtrooper backpack is rated to carry in excess of 100 kg; generally speaking, it is only the physical capabilities of the individual stormtrooper that limits it.
