I was wondering whether any stats have every been written up for a type of Stormtrooper speciallized in operating in midair, in environments such as Bespin. They would be equipped with jet packs and used for aerial assaults. If I get a negative on this, I'll write up my own stats and post them here. ------------------

Wow, thanks for the stats, here's what I would change: I envisioned these guys to be a little more low altitude so they wouldn't be confused with spacetroopers. Their jetpacks would only be able to function in moderately concentrated atmospheres, (say up to 50,000 feet on Earth) and the armor would be much lighter and smaller since they don't need to operate in a vacuum or on potentially lengthy missions. They'd look a little like seatroopers and be used for things like attacking high-rise apartments, getting dropped out of airspeeders, and patrolling environments with no reliable footing like deep shafts in Imperial bases. Because they'd be found in much lower numbers than other types of stormtroopers, I might even decide to make them a little more elite. This is how I would modify your stats:Template Type: Atmospheric Operations Stormtrooper DEX: 2D Blaster: 4D Blaster: blaster rifle: 4D+2 Brawling parry: 3D Dodge: 4D Missile Weapons: 3D KNO: 2D MEC: 3D Jetpack operation: 4D+1 Parachute operation: 3D PER: 3D Search: 4D STR: 3D Lifting: 3D+1 Climbing/jumping: 3D+2 TEK: 2D Armor repair: 3D (s) Jetpack repair: 3D+1 Equipment: Blaster rifle (5D) Airtrooper Armor (+1D physical and energy, -1D to Dexterity and related skills when jet pack in not in use. Includes jet pack, max speed is 55; 160 kmh) Parachute Turbo-projected grappling hook (100 meters rope & attachment) built into armor. 2 Concussion Grenades (5D/4D/3D/2D) ------------------

I like the idea and the stats, except for the powersuit and jetpack operation skills, i think they might want to be upped slightly more. But that's my opinion. When I first started reading I got a vision of the guys from the starship troopers cartoon. Those powersuits are awesome.------------------ "Ancient weapons and hokey relegions are no match for a good spork at your side!"

Yeah, those power suits from the Starship Troopers cartoon are cool, but I don't think they're Star Wars. I pictured these guys more as a variation on the Stormtrooper face mask, with something similar to the Snowtrooper body, with some sort of elaborate jetpack system. Scary!------------------
