Based on the light armor of Imperial Scouts, Storm Commando armor is protective (+1D to Strength to resist damage) without being restrictive (no penalty to Dexterity or related skills). Storm Commando helmets also contain a UV night-sight feature, that allows the troopers to move in darkness with relative ease (+3D to search and Perception in darkness). Also, the Storm Commando armor is made of a newly-created polymer called reflec, which bends most types of sensor probes away from them, rendering them virtually invisible to most light probes, though a fairly determined scan will detect them. In game terms, if the Storm Commandos are not being actively sought, roll an additional +1D to their hide and sneak checks. The armor is also relatively sound absorbent, with a thin layer of sound baffling built in, enabling the Storm Commandos to move more quietly (add +1D to sneak). Their armor is usually black, with no insignia or other unit designations on it, since the Storm Commandos prefer to operate in darkness.
