In the fictional Star Wars universe, Radiation troopers (also known as Radtroopers and Radiation Zone Assault Troopers) are an elite Imperial Stormtrooper division. These troopers are well equipped to operate in one of the deadliest terrain types. A lead-polymer substrate in the modified plastoid armour gives protection needed to withstand lethal Grade 4 radiation zone for several hours. Only the Radtrooper suits are proof against extended operations in deadly environments. The Empire deploys them into radiation-filled zones that contain assets the Empire wants to claim or defend. The Empire has been known to employ Neutron bombing which kills or maims a large number of the local population. Radtroopers are normally equipped with vibroblades, force pikes and grenades.
