The standard armor utilized by the death troopers serving the Galactic Empire was the death trooper armor. This armor was viewed as a step up from the standard stormtrooper kit. An environmentally sealed bodysuit was worn beneath the armor. A coating of reflec, a spray polymer designed to distort electromagnetic signals, was one of the armor's defining features. Various items could be affixed to the armor, including an IM-40 three-slot ammunition and tool pouch on the left shoulder guard, and a pauldron on the right shoulder to indicate rank.
