The 501st would continue to use these new armor sets in a limited capacity throughout the waning years of the war much to the dismay of the select troopers that were issued them.

When the 501st Legion received a limited number of these experimental armor sets for trials in the field, the troopers issued them found them to be less desirable than their standard phase II Clone trooper armor. These armor sets were issued to select units within the GAR for trials in the field late in the war. The armor improved upon the phase II armor with enhanced protection against projectile and kinetic-based weapons aswell as increased protection against blaster bolts.

The new armor recycled pieces from the phase I and II armor sets and would become the foundation for what would later become the infamous Stormtrooper armor with the passing of the Galactic Republic and the introduction of the Galactic Empire. That feeling when you want commission someone to draw Commander Cody as a Phase Zero Dark Trooper cause you like angst.
