Stormmtrooper

Stormtroopers are the elite troops of the Empire, trained to fight and die without fear or question. Squads of stormtroopers strike terror into the hearts of civilians throughout the galaxy, enforcing the Emperor’s will with ruthless zeal and efficiency.
     Stormtroopers are a separate force from the troops of Imperial Forces and do not answer directly to Imperial military officers. They are obedient and devoted to the Emperor. They cannot be bribed, blackmailed, or seduced. Any such attempt automatically fails.
     After recognizing the need for troopers with special equipment and training, the Emperor ordered the development of additional types of stormtroopers, including (but not limited to) snowtroopers, sandtroopers, and scout troopers.

501st Legion Stormtrooper

Using the 501st

The 501st Stormtrooper Division is the most feared and most respected stormtrooper force in the Empire. Its service began during the Clone Wars and will survive well beyond the Dark Times. Unlike with most clone units, the 501st designation, assignment, and mission profile carried over into the new storm trooper corps.

     The 5Olst is best known for the assault on the Jedi Temple under the command of Lord Vader, signaling the destruction of the Jedi Order. After that fateful day, the unit operates as Vader’s personal regiment, although it carries out many other missions as directed by the Emperor. It is responsible for some of the Empire's worst atrocities. Most of its missions are highly classified, making it difficult for the Imperial Senate and others to track the group’s activities.

     The 501st is trained and based on Coruscant.lt is deployed in smaller unitsas required. In the Dark Times, members of the 501st look no different from any other storm trooper unit, but their manner and combat skills speak for themselves. The unit is most often deployed when both advanced fighting skills and a political statement are required.
