Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures — " Luke Skywalker Trains with Master Yoda" (Vision to Luke Skywalker) As the Galactic Civil War dragged on, the Stormtrooper Corps accelerated its training to ensure the Empire had more troops at its disposal. [40] For service in the Galactic Civil War, stormtroopers saw action against the Rebellion forces during engagements like the Battle of Garel, [68] the Battle of Atollon, [69] the Battle of Hoth, [70] the Mid Rim Retreat, [40] and the Battle of Ab Dalis. [71] Although desertion from the Stormtrooper Corps was rare, [72] the actions the Empire carried out during a mission on Aleen were so horrifying three stormtroopers deserted the Imperial Army. [73] Additionally, stormtroopers who served under Admiral Gratloe joined their officer's rogue faction of the Empire in the Kudo system, only for their faction to come into conflict with the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing. [9] Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans." ― Darth Vader to the assault commander aboard the Tantive IV [1] Ironically, the Empire's conquest of the former Galactic Alliance and its return to galactic-wide dominance, thanks in part to the fighting prowess of the elite Imperial stormtroopers, was a short-lived return to glory. Seven years after the Sith Lord Darth Krayt usurped the Imperial throne, Emperor Roan Fel resurfaced and captured Bastion by relying solely on the devotion of Imperial loyalists. [15] Among his strongest supporters in the military were the stormtroopers of the 501st Legion and the 908th Stormtrooper Division; [42] many other units continued to desert Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire as the Second Imperial Civil War escalated. With two Imperial sovereigns fighting each other for the throne, the galaxy was engulfed in turmoil as stormtrooper units were forced to take sides between the sitting regnant Darth Krayt and the deposed emperor Roan Fel. [15] Seatroopers: Stormtroopers trained and equipped to operate in aquatic environments and wore white armor. [141]

The Stormtrooper Commander serving under the Grand Inquisitor on PM-1203 carried a white, handheld box device. With it, the squad leader confirmed the presence of the ship of the Grand Inquisitor's Jedi quarry, Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger. [14] Pauldrons [ ] The Empire formally capitulated to the New Republic [83] after the defeat of its loyalist forces on Jakku. [13] With the death of Counselor Rax and Sloane's escape to the Unknown Regions, Grand Vizier Mas Amedda represented the Empire at the signing of the Galactic Concordance. The terms of the peace treaty included the end of hostilities between the Empire and the New Republic, the dissolution of the Imperial government, [83] and the prohibition of the recruitment and training of stormtroopers. Additionally, the Empire was forced to dismantle its network of Imperial Academies. [84] Star Wars: Legion — Core Set (Card: Darth Vader) (Reissued in Darth Vader Commander Expansion) (Picture only) The helmet provided cranial protection, filtered air, and contained enhanced vision, communication systems and an effective [66] HUD (heads up display) [67] that could help locate threats, aid in navigation, and to help alert the wearer. [66] Stormtrooper ideology is terrifying in its thoroughness. They can't be reasoned with, which means they can't be deprogrammed." ― Leia Organa, commenting in Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide [52]Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) and Star Wars Resistance season 1) [1] Clones remained an essential factor to the Stormtrooper Corps, but their importance continued to diminish over time [4] as the ranks became increasingly filled with enlisted troopers; birth-born Humans recruited to serve the Empire as Imperial stormtroopers. [17] Both numerous throughout the galaxy and the dominant species of the Empire, Humans were regarded as the solution to the dilemma of cloning. Arkanian processes created subpar troopers, and the Kaminoan method was considered too slow and expensive. [4] From the perspective of the Fett clones, the Storm The Great Mothers energized Thrawn's stormtroopers, who became inhumanely persistent [114] and adopted the name " Night Troopers," [115] which was similar to the " Nightsister" name used by the Dathomiri. The Night Trooper legion was placed under Captain Enoch, who served as leader of Thrawn's personal guard. [16] Beyond energizing [114] Thrawn's living soldiers, the Great Mothers also had access to the Chant of Resurrection, which would enable them to reanimate any soldier who died. However, no Night Trooper was ever resurrected in front of Bridger, who avoided the Nightsister fortress and made a life for himself among the Noti. Two of Thrawn's death trooper guard were reanimated at some point. [113] Through the Great Mothers, Thrawn reached out to his former servant Morgan Elsbeth, [16] who was at the head of her own group of forces in the main galaxy, [116] to deliver them all from their exile, promising the Great Mothers he would bring them and cargo from their catacombs to the main galaxy with him. [16] As cadets were being evaluated, the officers in charge were often instructed to take note of performance that might denote an affinity for the Force, and report it to one of their superiors. Cadets who met this special criteria were taken by the Grand Inquisitor and forcibly inducted into Project Harvester, a top secret Imperial program based on Arkanis. Cadet Zare's older sister, Dhara Leonis, was one known subject of Project Harvester. [141] Another prospective subject was Jai Kell, who managed to escape due to the help of Ezra Bridger. [138] Spacetroopers: Stormtroopers trained for zero-gravity environments with armor designed to breathe in space. Spacetroopers were used to patrol parts of the first Death Star. [162]

[38]There were several subgroups in the Stormtrooper Corps with training and equipment for particular mission profiles, generally sorted by the type of environment the trooper would encounter. Recruits to the Stormtrooper Corps are selected for specialization at an early stage of training, and thus are conditioned with the appropriate knowledge and psychological training for the tasks required of them. As a result, their psychological conditioning to their particular identity once specialized is so strong that the resulting specialized stormtrooper almost never wishes to change his division.
