DESCRIPTION

The collapse of the Galactic Empire was devastating for Mahporeem, which relied heavily on imported goods and materials to maintain its standing army. Stormtrooper Armor in particular became difficult for Mahporeem to acquire, due to its isolated position and the collapse of many Imperial supply chains.

Mahporeem was then forced to scavenge its various planetary junkyards for a reliable source of armor components. It soon became apparent that the abundant amount of vehicles and starships on the planet could be melted down and crafted into Stormtrooper Armor.

Thus, Mahporeem began manufacturing its own version of Stormtrooper Armor, dubbed "Junktrooper Armor" Junktrooper Armor is most often a mixture of lighter but less protective Plastoid parts and heavier but sturdier metal parts such as Durasteel, Desh or Bondite. The extra weight and bulk of these metal part does limit the amount of armor that can be worn by a single trooper, often causing each Junktrooper to prioritize certain elements and parts of their armor over others. Mahporeem also produces a variety of accessories for their armor, including ammunition pouches and bandoliers.

Though nowhere near cutting edge technology, Junktrooper Armor still gets the job done, and continues to be manufactured on Mahporeem due to the lack of available resources and prioritization of materials for more advanced and specialized armor, such as Salvage Trooper Armor.
