Beach Troopers were a specialized branch of stormtroopers who wore a stripped down variant of the usual stormtrooper armor, which included the regular helmet and a swimsuit. Beach troopers were often found lounging in baths and spas, seemingly off-duty. If an intruder or enemy were to come upon them, however, they would jump into action and engage the opposition. Among the locales in which they were stationed were aboard the Devastator, aboard the Death Star near Detention Block AA-23, and Cloud City during the Occupation of Bespin.[1]
Beach Troopers wore a standard-issue stormtrooper helmet and a speedo[1] or a full bathing suit,[2] as well as being armed with a blaster and ascension gun.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Beach troopers were created only for the games in which they are featured and are intended as a simple joke rather than a canonical class of stormtroopers.[4]
