The Snowtrooper is a specialized type of Imperial stormtrooper from the Star Wars universe, trained and equipped for operations in icy and extreme cold environments. They are most famously seen during the Battle of Hoth in 'Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.' Snowtroopers wear distinctive insulated armor and helmets, enabling them to survive freezing temperatures. As a group, they serve as the Empire’s frontline soldiers, carrying out assaults and enforcing Imperial rule under harsh conditions, often acting as antagonists to the Rebel Alliance.
