Magma stormtrooper

Crimson-Stormtrooper A magma trooper. The magma stormtroopers, also known by the names magma troopers or lavatroopers, represented a unique and specialized branch within the ranks of the Imperial stormtroopers. Their rigorous training focused on operations within geologically active zones, where they were tasked with suppressing uprisings and other rebellious actions on volcanic mining planets such as Mustafar and Sullust. Additionally, they defended volcanic mines rich in rare ores against attacks from Rebel guerrillas. Their armor, designated for Magma troopers, was engineered to endure exceptionally high temperatures, even with some direct exposure to volcanic magma. Fortified with Duravlex, the armor could withstand intense heat of up to 1,900 degrees centigrade. The troopers carried SS-Mobile-tech flamethrowers and heavy blasters as standard equipment.
