The stormtroopers designated as scouts wear lightweight armor that is considerably more flexible than the standard uniform. Much like their infantry counterparts, scout troopers wear a black body glove covered with white armor. Scouts often work in conjunction with light reconnaissance vehicles, such as Imperial speeder bikes. For this reason, they are often referred to as biker scouts.
Scout troopers were posted to the forest moon of Endor during the construction of the second Death Star in orbit. The scouts were tasked with defending the surface-based shield generator , and reguarly patrolled Endor's forests. However, the combined might of the Rebel Alliance and the native cunning of the Ewoks ensured the generator was destroyed, followed by the Death Star itself.
