Seatrooper

Seatroopers were stormtroopers in the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire that specialized in aquatic environments. They were equipped with various aquatic equipment including scuba backpacks, underwater propulsion jets, and flippers. Seatroopers saw action on the planet Mon Cala in 18 BBY. Other seatroopers were also stationed on the planet Lothal.
==Equipment==
Like standard stormtroopers, they wore white armor. They were also equipped with breathing tubes that were attached to a scuba backpack to their helmets and had underwater propulsion jets on their backs. They utilized fins on their boots and were equipped with DC-12U beam rifles and used OMS Devilfish subs.
==History==
In 18 BBY, seatroopers participated in the aftermath of the Battle of Dac City on Mon Cala after all surface cities were destroyed along with Imperial forces. While the Imperial Naval Academy of Carida primarily trained Imperial Starfighter Pilots, Imperial cadets also trained for other Imperial units including Seatroopers. On one occasion, Han Solo and his fellow cadets trained in an underwater exercise donning Seatrooper armor.Han Solo - Imperial Cadet 2
At one point, a few years prior to the Battle of Yavin, seatroopers on Lothal stood by during an aquatic training exercise for Imperial cadets. During a skirmish in the days after the Battle of Endor, stormtroopers on the ice moon Madurs donned underwater armor and engaged insurgent fighters in the freezing seas around the black tower. Their armor was sleek and white but did not protect against an edont summoned by Princess Leia Organa.The Princess and the Scoundrel
