' Cake?! Let me light the candles!' ―A Flametrooper, during the Battle of Takodana įirst Order Flametroopers appear in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Phasma was about to order their execution when the hangar bay suddenly exploded in light and fire, killing most of the personnel stationed in the hangar.

Among the stormtroopers present in the hanger were the flametroopers. Phasma brought out stormtrooper executioners believing that death by blaster was too painless. Phasma held both Finn and Rose in the hangar bay of the ship, revealing to them that their accomplice DJ had traded information with the First Order that allowed the escaping shuttles from the Raddus to be targeted and destroyed. Attack on the Resistance fleet Ĭaptain Phasma led a squad of stormtroopers and officers to the location of hacking, where Finn, Rose Tico and DJ were about to sabotage. They set fire to huts that housed members of the Church of the Force, including that of Lor San Tekka.

Attack on Tuanul įlametroopers devastate the village of Tuanul on Jakku.įlametroopers were used in the subjugation of the spiritual village Tuanul on the planet Jakku. There, they torched an egg sacred to Crèche in an attempt to extract information on Operation: Sabre Strike from Poe Dameron, but the intense heat made the egg hatch instead of hurting the creature within. Mission to Ovanis įlametroopers were deployed on a mission to Ovanis under the command of Agent Terex. On Starkiller Base, flametroopers and stormtroopers led by Captain Bray eliminated a so-called 'infestation,' which turned out to be a habitat of native species. 'Infestation' on Starkiller Base Ĭaptain Bray uses his flamethrower against the creatures. History īased on the millennia-old infantry mainstay of incendiary weaponry, modernized by Mandalorian super commandos and clone troopers during the Clone Wars, the flametroopers of the First Order would continue the practice of utilizing flame-based weaponry to crush opposition with some of the latest technology available to the First Order's martial forces. Flametrooper officers were equipped with a pauldron that was situated on the right side of the armor. Other suit features included a temperature control body glove, integrated knee covers, articulated greaves for greater foot movement, and positive grip boots. The suit included a reinforced cyramech helmet with minimized openings, a narrow slit visor to reduce weapon glare, and supplemental breathing tank linkages. Ī standard flametrooper was equipped with a D-93 Incinerator that was a combination of a single, double-barreled D-93w flame projector gun and backpack that housed twin outer conflagrine-14 fuel tanks and a central pressurized propellant tank. Additionally, the flame itself was nearly inescapable when directed at an opponent. In dry and flammable environments, flametrooper deployment could lead to a quick and decisive victory. When strategically deployed, they could deny cover to enemy forces along with supplying cover for allies with walls of flame that stormtrooper armor could withstand.

Additionally, the flame created by the flametrooper required them to move at a slower pace to avoid entering their own blazes. One of the three main types of weapons specialists assigned to stormtrooper squads of ten, flametroopers and stormtroopers worked in tandem, as the faster stormtroopers could protect the slower and more methodical flametroopers while out in the field. Commonly known as 'toasters,' 'hotheads,' 'roasters', or 'burnouts' by Resistance fighters, First Order flametroopers were best used to flush out enemy entrenchments, with standard infantry firing on those fleeing the flames.
