In the fictional Star Wars universe, the Snowtroopers or Blizzard Force were an elite division of the Imperial Stormtrooper infantry.
They wore customized armour well suited to the climate extremes of ice planets like Hoth. In addition to the hard white armour, their suit incorporated fabric overgarments that helped contain heat and terrain gripping boots for slippery conditions. They brandished standard blaster rifles and specialized teams used heavy repeating blasters mounted on tripods. In the Battle of Hoth, Snowtroopers rode in AT-ATs (All-Terrain Armored Transports) before going on the ground. Although it is not specifically seen, it is assumed that Snowtroopers drove the AT-STs (All-Terrain Scout Transports) in the Battle as well.
They were most commonly seen in the assault on Echo Base in The Empire Strikes Back and the video game Shadows of the Empire on the Nintendo 64. Though they were only seen once, they are still considered a very versitile unit of the Imperial Army.
