A Scout Trooper, also known as a Biker Scout, is a minifigure from the Star Wars theme. It's a upgrade of the Kashyyyk Trooper.

Description

The first edition of the head of the Scout Trooper is a yellow one with large black glasses. The newer version comes with a pure black head like the two in 8038 The Battle of Endor. They have white legs with a black joint. The torso is white with white arms and black gloves. Their torso markings show chest armour and two pouches, one on each side of the belt. The 2012 variation has the same pieces but the head. The head now has a face like the 2012 Stormtrooper. A white face with black covering up the rest of it.

The 2013 variation, to be introduced in 75023 Star Wars Advent Calendar, features a mainly black head that may or may not have a printed face on the back and uses the same helmet as the previous variations. It has black legs and arms, representing the scout's jumpsuit they wear under their white armor. Armored kneepads are printed on the black legs. A white waist and crotch represents the scouts cummerbund. Like the first variation, it also has a white torso with markings displaying chest armor and pouches, but the overall appearance of the armor is quite different. This variation has black arms representing the jumpsuit and black hands reflecting the black gloves they wear.

In the Video Games

Scout Troopers appeared in both LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. They carried blasters and had the same abilities as normal blaster characters; fire, grapple hook, and build. They could also unlock Imperial panels.

Background

Scout Trooper, or Biker Scout, is a Stormtrooper variant. Scout Troopers were used for scouting base perimeters and keeping track of enemy troop movements. They were also trained as marksmen, using sniper rifles and blaster pistols. Many also had speeder bikes with them for scouting patrols. They were equipped and trained to be able to survive for weeks on their own without any support.

Before the rise of the Empire, Clone Scout Troopers were very similar in appearance with white camouflage instead of white armour.

They work in teams of two, called "lances", led by a sergeant. When the Second Death Star was being constructed in orbit of the forest moon of Endor, a bunker was built containing a generator creating a force field around the battle station. Scout troopers were used to patrol the bunker's perimeter, and later took part in the battle that followed against Rebel forces.
