So who is the Burning Sands sandtrooper squad and are they mentioned anywhere else? I was flipping through a Star Wars book and it mentions the Burning Sands Sandtrooper Squad in the description of the T-21.

"The T-21 proved a common support weapon for the army and stormtrooper squads. For Example, the Burning Sands sandtrooper squads sent to Tatooine to recover the droids Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio used T-21s as their primary support weapons." (Smith, 1997, p.12-13)

According to the short story in "Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina" The platoon/squad onboard ship is due in to Tattooine to supplement/replace the existing garrision. They are "Fresh Fish" when they land and immediately go out looking for two droids. So...the classic Tantooine Stormtrooper Davin Felth is new to the planet during ANH.

Meh...Felth and his shiny friends would do good not to get gutted by a drunk Tusken Raider by days end. We've been hunting insurgents through every seedy bar and dusty cave for years. 'Bout time Tarkin and his "yes" man Vader sent in some fresh meat.
