Swamptrooper armor, utilized by swamp troopers, represented a specialized iteration of stormtrooper armor. It was specifically modified with supplementary environmental components and sealants to enable operations within wetland terrains.
Two distinct models of this armor existed.
The initial model shared multiple resemblances with Scout trooper armor, or more precisely, the Scout trooper version of the Imperial Forest Camouflage Armor. However, it was predominantly green instead of white, and included gray knee armor. This variant was deployed during a conflict against several Gungans on Naboo.
The second model, while also sharing similarities with the first, exhibited a more refined design. The line visor was replaced with goggle-shaped visors, and it featured a black utility belt, pelvis armor, as well as leg and arm armor. Red stripes were also present on this version. The helmet also has a mouthpiece similar to the second model. This armor was utilized during the assault on the Jedi praxium that occurred on Yavin 4.
Regardless of the specific model, all swamptrooper armors were consistently tinted green. This coloration served to enhance camouflage within forested wetlands and diverse combat zones situated in swamps, lakes, rivers, and other aquatic environments where settlements tend to concentrate on habitable worlds. The armor was also enhanced with environmental seals to prevent the intrusion of various biological hazards prevalent in swampy ecosystems, including toxic bacterial colonies, stinging insect swarms, amphibious predators, and other dangers. Furthermore, the helmets of each model incorporated rebreathers that filtered breathable oxygen, allowing the wearer to function underwater for a limited duration. The helmet lenses incorporated multi-spectrum view-finders and terrain-mapping software.
Standard troops were armed with Golan Arms FC-1 flechette launchers, while squad leaders carried Imperial Heavy Repeaters. Each trooper's equipment included a survival kit containing an emergency float and a serrated vibroknife.
