Lyran-stormtrooper-helmet

A 25th century stormtrooper EV suit helmet

A stormtrooper was a crewman that served under Lyran Starfleet Security. (RIS Bouteina: "The Measure of a Romulan")

In the 23rd century, stormtroopers were known as stalkers. (Star Fleet Battles)

Equipment[]

While they were famous for their white environmental suits, and especially helmets, when not fighting in environmental suits, the Lyran stormtroopers wore brown uniforms, hence the name of brownshirt used to designate stormtroopers internally within Lyran Starfleet. They wielded MD-11 disruptor rifles in long-range combat, while using disruptor pistols in close-quarters combat. (Star Trek: False Vacuum)

Training[]

Stormtroopers were trained in marksmanship, among other combat skills, at the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Asteroid Dusting")

Production notes[]

The Lyran stormtroopers had their names and their EV suits borrowed from Star Wars. Since the stormtrooper armor in Star Wars was almost useless in defending against weapons other than gas weapons, the stormtrooper armor in SW was used in Star Trek: False Vacuum as an EV suit, because they were little more than glorified EV suits in their original settings.
