STRENGTHS

• Transparisteel visor: Unlike standard Stormtrooper Helmets, Trauma Trooper Helmets come equipped with a transparisteel visor, greatly increasing overall visibility
• Bacta: Trauma Trooper Armor comes equipped with storage for Bacta Bombs and Bacta Ampules
• Survival instincts: To increase personal endurance, each set of Trauma Trooper Armor is equipped with a SD-48 Survival Backpack
• Lightweight: Compared to many forms of Mahporeenian armor, Trauma Trooper Armor is quite lightweight overall
• Inconspicuous: Compared to Medic Trooper Armor, Trauma Trooper Armor is much less conspicuous, though its transparisteel visor does make it somewhat recognizable

WEAKNESSES

• Transparisteel visor: Because it is equipped with a transparisteel visor, the Trauma Trooper's Helmet is less protective than standard Stormtrooper Helmets
• Unprotected: Compared to most other forms of armor, Trauma Trooper Armor only provides mediocre protection at best, and limited body coverage overall
• Specific: Unlike Medic Trooper Armor, which contains a variety of medical equipment, Trauma Trooper Armor only comes equipped with Bacta Bombs and Bacta Ampules
• Exposed: The Bacta Bombs and Bacta Ampules equipped on Trauma Trooper Armor are exposed to enemy attacks and environmental conditions, increasing the chance that they will be damaged or lost

DESCRIPTION

As vitally important as Medic Trooper Armor is to the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant, those who wear it tend to suffer disproportionally high casualty rates due to the recognizability of their role as medics and the fact that they are likely to be specifically target by enemy forces. As such, the Imperial Remnant has created an experimental type of armor known as "Trauma Trooper Armor".

Compared to Medic Trooper Armor, Trauma Trooper Armor holds far less medical supplies, being limited to a pair of Bacta Bombs and four Bacta Ampules, In exchange, Trauma Trooper Armor gains increased versatility with the addition of an SD-48 Survival Backpack and is less likely to be specifically targeted by enemy forces due to its visual resemblance to Junktrooper Armor, though the armor set's transparisteel visor does make it somewhat recognizable.

Regardless, it is hoped that the inclusion of Trauma Troopers in Junktrooper squads will increase unit survivability and endurance, especially when used in tandem with already existing Medic Troopers. Only time will tell if this experiment proves successful and Trauma Trooper Armor sees long term production.
