All players start out with helmeted male and female Stormtrooper skins for free. They are the only infantry for the Empire that change their armor on different planets. The game originally had helmetless stormtroopers, but this option was removed due to fan complaint and the skins were replaced by the Death Star Trooper and Imperial Officer instead. In Missions mode, they are the basic enemy foot soldiers and do not pose much of a threat in any way. Being more or less cannon fodder, they are rather weak individually and are not particularly hard to kill in most situations.
