The First Order heavy trooper, also called the megablaster heavy assault trooper—so named for the FWMB-10 repeating blaster or "megablaster" that they carried—was a variant of the standard stormtrooper used by the First Order.[1] Also known in short as heavy troopers, they carried web gear loaded with extra ammunition in order to power the megablaster they carry.[4]
In 34 ABY, megablaster heavy assault troopers were deployed during the Battle of Kestro and the subsequent Skirmish on the Retribution, where they fought against Iden Versio, Zay Versio, and Shriv Suurgav.[5]
