- A swamptrooper

Swamptroopers were a division of the scout trooper segment of the Stormtrooper Corps.

Overview
Trained and equipped for operating in swamps, marshes, and bogs, swamptroopers were selected from some of the best scout troopers in the Stormtrooper Corps. They were stationed on swamp planets throughout the galaxy, and were specifically trained to fight in humid terrain. Each trooper was issued a green body suit, custom rebreather, emergency float, and viewfinder. For combat, troopers were issued with a FC-1 flèche launcher, except squad leaders, who used Imperial Heavy Repeaters.

History
The armor of swamptroopers closely resembled that of their Galactic Republic predecessors, clone scout troopers. During the early years of the Galactic Civil War, they wore forest camouflage scout trooper armor. In the time leading up to the Battle of Hoth, some had to be given green painted snowtrooper armor due to shortages.

By 12 ABY, they were issued with standardized unique armor, which had little to no resemblance of scout trooper armor. Many troopers fought at the Attack on the Jedi Praxeum.
