* Not Bio-Engineerable Sandtroopers are largely identical to standard stormtroopers except they have additional training in specialized areas. The sandtrooper is a desert terrain stormtrooper equipped with modified armor and gear to better withstand missions in harsh, arid locales like Tatooine. While their armor is superficially similar to that of the standard stormtrooper, advanced cooling systems in both their helmets and suits offer these troopers protection from the relentless heat. Their armor consists of an 18-piece anti-blaster cocoon shell with heat-reflective coating worn over a temperature-control body glove. The sandtrooper helmet features automatic polarized lenses, a built-in comlink and breathing filters. Instead of depending on machinery that may not function in hostile environments, sandtroopers make use of local creatures like the Dewback for transportation. All Desert Sands stormtroopers carry blaster rifles, long-range comlinks, and food and water packs. Sandtroopers wear colored pauldrons as a designation of rank. A stormtrooper sergeant's pauldron is white while an enlisted stormtrooper's pauldron is all black. Squad leaders, who lead units of seven troopers, wear orange shoulder pauldrons.
