* One of the specially-trained divisions of stormtrooper infantry were the snowtroopers. Snowtroopers wore customized armor well-suited to the cold climate extremes of ice planets. During the attack on Hoth, these Imperial troops stormed through the icy corridors of Echo Base like a heavily-armed blizzard, stopping at nothing to conquer the Rebel enemies. In addition to hard white armor, the snowtrooper suit incorporated fabric over garments that helped contain heat, along with terrain-gripping boots to combat slippery conditions. Specialized teams made proficient use of heavy repeating blasters mounted on tripods. *Source: Back of Card.
