The polar regions of most worlds remain frozen, inaccessible wastelands - the perfect hiding place for Rebel outposts, smuggler ports and pirate covers. In response, the empire has established a special corps of elite stormtroopers trained and equipped to operate in these environs. These are cold assault stormtroopers, or "snowtroopers".
Snowtroopers work in tandem with AT-AT walkers. These vehicles are ideally suited for the extreme temperatures and icy terrain where snowtroopers are deployed. Snowtroopers are able to operate constantly and with impunity in temperatures as low as -100 degrees Celsius.
There is no stealth involved in snowtrooper combat tactics. They hit planets fast and hard, crushing opposition quickly and completely. Efficient, fast and deadly, snowtroopers are one of the most feared combat units in the Imperial Military.
