In the fictional Star Wars universe, spacetroopers are a specialized branch of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. They are known also as Zero-G Assault Troopers. They are regarded as second only to the Emperor's Royal Guard and are sometimes known as 'walking tanks'. Although the standard stormtrooper armor is designed to protect the trooper in the vacuum of space, it is only designed to do so over moderate periods. Thus, Spacetroopers wear a larger suit of power armor that stands 2 meters tall in addition to the standard stormtrooper armor worn underneath. Their large power suits operate as personal space craft and assault vehicles, and provide them with the equivalent firepower of a light tank. These elite troops are trained to fight in space for extended periods. Their missions typically involve the capture of enemy vessels. They are deployed in units of forty aboard assault shuttles. Capital ships can be easily overtaken with well organized assaults. A space trooper's equipment usually consists of things like cutting plasma-torches and power vibro-saws for quick entry into a vessel and napalm-like flame throwers for forcing enemy shipboard troops into confined spaces for capture or containment. When a subject or person is needed alive, space troopers are issued stun blasters as well as their normal weaponry and provided with the proper intelligence about their target(s).
