Description: Jedha Sandtrooper, Rogue One
Prefix: TD
Detachment: Mos Eisley Police Department
Context: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

The Jedha Sandtrooper is a terrain trooper equipped with modified armor and gear to better withstand missions in harsh arid environments. While their armor is superficially similar to that of the standard Stormtrooper, advanced cooling systems in both their helmets and suits offer these troopers additional protection.

This is a visual guide used for 501st costume approval, not a how-to for construction. Construction details are found at the costume's Detachment website. Measurements provided here are are generalized, and not criteria for approval. All 501st costumes are proportionate to the wearer in terms of size, fit, and scale. During evaluation, both text and images (CRL and Reference) must be considered. When in doubt about a feature of a submitted costume, GMLs should post questions in the Legion forum's DL/GML peer review section.
