Dread Trooper

Dread Troopers are soldiers employed by the Interstellar Legion.

History
According to Larry, about fifty years ago Dread Troopers landed on his home planet of Deloran, and only bothered to scout out the planet's swamps.

Thousands of Dread Troopers are stationed on the Dread Cruiser to maintain the massive battleship.

In the episode Supercomputer, the Supercomputer at Station 38 mistakenly opens the Dread Cruiser airlock system, killing hundreds of Dread Troopers.

In Suggestion Box, Dreadlord Sinister randomly kills three Dread Troopers, including Chase, for making suggestions for his new suggestion box.

Larry reminisces in Gun Privileges the time that ten Dread Troopers were killed (and twenty-five were injured) by the Princess when Larry gave his firearm to her in an act of stupidity.

In Escape Pod Confessions, Rich and Larry reminisce about a raid on the Dread Cruiser by members of the Insurgency, which presumably caused multiple Dread Trooper casualties.

In Lost in Translation, Rich mistranslates for the Lizard Man they are guarding, and states that the lizard was captured after defending his village from a platoon of attacking Dread Troopers.

In Episode 3: Coffee Run, a Dread Trooper was indulging in coffee and pastries from Dreadlord Sinister's new coffee machine.

Uniform
Dread Troopers wear white armor similar to those of Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars, although the eye on the right side of the helmet resembles the Borg implants from Star Trek. Dread Trooper helmets are equipped with a breath filter, airholes, and two helmet lens, one of which has a small scope. Dread Trooper armor is worn over a black body glove and is very restrictive as seen in Episode 1: Forcefield. Rich and Larry had a dificult time chasing down the princess. While claimed by Chase to be "laser-proof", the armor offers little to no protection against lasers, as one hit from a laser gun can blow the entire Dread Trooper to pieces.

Weapons and other equipment
All Dread Troopers do weild powerful blaster guns which can do a tonne of damage but if used on themselves they would be destroyed almost instantly which is exactly what happens in Episode 10: Gun Privileges. when Larry shots Chase in the stomach to test the latter’s theory that their armour is completely laser proof but it isn’t and Chase is obliterated.
