Desert is an exceptionally common terrain feature. Any planet with limited-water regions manifests a desert. Although a desert is technically any area with out significant water, frozen desert operations are left to cold assault troopers. Hot deserts are the province of desert assault troopers, expert in small-unit tactics and able to survive even in the hottest and driest area for days without resupply.

Desert assault troopers have also been used in hot, wet, tropical terrain operations - their cooling units and sealed water systems are easily modified to cope with such areas.

Although all stormtrooper armor insulates against very high or low temperatures, sandtroopers are specially equipped with an improved bodyglove, allowing them to stay in areas with temperatures spanning form +300 degrees Celsius down to -300 degrees Celsius, for maximum 1 hour at a time. The Standard stormtrooper armor can keep the troopers comfortable in temperatures between +150 and -300 degrees, also 1 hour at a time. (-300 degrees Celsius can only be obtained in artificially controlled climates)
