Clone cold assault trooper

Clone cold assault troopers, also known as cold assault clone troopers or Clone Snowtroopers were a specialized variant of clone troopers within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. They were equipped with HT-77 Cold Assault Armor and other cold-assault gear to handle combat in frigid environments, including high winds, deep snow and ice cliffs. All clone troopers were trained in the use of cold-weather gear, but the cold assault troopers were routinely stationed on frigid worlds with tough conditions. Cold assault troopers were proficient in armed and unarmed combat, as well as military tactics. Like most clone troopers, cold assault troopers were 1.83 meters or 6 feet tall.

Cold assault troopers served on planets like Caliban, Orto, Rhen Var, Toola, and Orto Plutonia. They also flew freeco bikes on Orto Plutonia. A platoon of clone troopers of the 501st Legion donned cold-assault gear and served as clone cold assault troopers during the One-Day War. The Galactic Empire later modeled its cold weather assault troopers after this type of clone trooper.
