Spacetrooper from Heir to the Empire novel as seen in comics
Five years after the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance has driven the evil Empire into a distant corner of the galaxy. But a new danger has arisen: the last of the Emperor's warlords has devised a battle plan that could destroy the New Republic.
The ability of spacetroopers to operate exclusively in space made them a valuable asset to the warlord, Grand Admiral Thrawn. These heavily-armed stormtroopers wear full-body armor and have equipment that enables them to function as personal space-cable assault vehicles.
