The stormtrooper helmets had a glossy betaplast finish, which required constant cleaning. To denote rank, commanding stormtroopers wore color-coded pauldron armor plates. Other specialized stormtroopers, such as flametroopers and snowtroopers, wore a variant of the First Order stormtrooper armor representing their specializations. One stormtrooper captain, Phasma, wore her own distinctive stormtrooper armor polished in chromium as a representation of power. Individual sets of armor were linked to First Order trackers.
