Stormtrooper armor

Stormtrooper armor was the standard armor worn by members of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. It replaced the Phase II clone trooper armor in Imperial service following the conclusion of the Clone Wars.
== Overview ==
Developed by the Imperial Department of Military Research, Stormtrooper armor was the standard issue armor of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. It was introduced sometime after the conclusion of the Clone Wars, and was intended to replace the Phase II clone trooper armor. It consisted of a form-fitting evironmentally sealed undersuit and 18 individual, overlapping plastoid composite plates, the outer plating was designed to be as light weight as possible, and was also capable of dispersing energy, providing effective protection from glancing blaster bolts. Despite this, the plating and undersuit were both vulnerable to ballistic weaponry, particularly rifle-caliber armor-piercing rounds, though it still offered some protection from handgun rounds. This proved the undoing of countless Stormtroopers during the Galactic Empire's war against the United Nations Space Command.
