The standard armor utilized by Imperial scout troopers was known as scout trooper armor. Unlike the helmets of standard stormtroopers, the scout trooper helmets were designed so they could be pulled back while still on the head, exposing the wearer's face. A body glove was worn beneath their armor. The cummerbund included a pair of pouches, typically used to hold survival rations. A power unit backpack was attached to the rear of the breastplate, providing additional storage space for equipment. Boots were worn by scout troopers, incorporating holsters for their standard-issue weapon, the EC-17 hold-out blaster.
In the New Republic Era, Vusk, a pirate and member of the Warbird gang, donned a set of aged scout trooper armor. The Kassk had modified this armor, giving the helmet visor a red color and adding rank insignia plaques to the black gloves.
