The Imperial Storm Commando first appears in Star Wars: Rebel Strike. Their armor is based that of a Scout Trooper. Sea Troopers are equipped with what appears to be a large rebreather/pressurized gas tank. Their helmet has more extensive visual enhancements, although at least some recruits had trouble coping with this design.They have been seen on Endor and Hoth. Although it provides less protection, it can be presumed to require less maintenance and be more comfortable in the field for long deployments. Scout trooper armor is decidedly less massive than normal Stormtrooper armor.
