[edit] Characteristics
These specialized soldiers were deployed to dense, swamp theaters and wore upgraded, green armor that allowed for easier operations in humid and poisonous environments. While training aided the swamp troopers in navigating the swamps, a sealed suit and body glove, custom rebreather, emergency flotation package, and enhanced viewfinder provided a greater chance of survival in the often dangerous swamps in which they operated.
Swamp troopers were deployed with the Golan Arms FC-1 flechette launcher or the Imperial heavy repeater.
[edit] History
The early versions of swamp trooper armor closely resembled the armor of the Galactic Republic's clone swamp troopers, and they also resembled swamp-style camouflage versions of scout troopers. In the years leading up to the Battle of Hoth, some swamp troopers were forced to equip themselves with previously used Storm Trooper scout armor, with a green tint. During the rebel uprising on Tatooine these troops were renamed "Mos Entha Troopers", or "Mos Espa troopers" according to their operation area.
Their armor became more and more specialized and by the assault on the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV, where they bore little, if any resemblance to scout troopers at all.[1]
