AT-AT Pilot

AT-AT pilots are among the best vehicle pilots the Empire has to offer. Although certain units, such as the famed Blizzard Force, feature elite pilots, the regular AT-AT pilot is formidable in his own right. They wear armored flight suits very similar to those of Imperial fighter pilots.

AT-ST Pilot

AT-ST pilots are normally Imperial Army pilots trained specifically to handle the light and agile walker in a variety of terrain and circumstances. Given that the AT-STs operate everywhere from the wide open plains to the congested forests of Kashyyyk, it takes specialized training to be effective in all conditions. Due to the confines of their cramped cockpits, AT-ST pilots must forgo most armor other than their helmets.

Emperor’s Hand

Every Emperor’s Hand is a highly specialized individual, selected by the Emperor for ability with the Force and loyalty to Palpatine. Very few Imperial officers or officials dare refuse to help when an Emperor’s Hand appears in their midst. Many don’t believe they exist, un til confronted with an authorization code that demands any and all aid, as if the Emperor himself is requesting it. And in many ways, he is. Each Emperor's Hand believes that he or she is the only one, a belief bestowed by the Emperor and encouraged by Darth Vader and the rest of Palpatine's inner circle. Although no “standard” Emperor’s Hand exists, many of the individuals share similar basic abilities. Below is a prototypical Emperor’s Hand, ready to be adapted for the Gamemaster's campaign.

Imperial Officer

Admired, respected, and feared, the officers of the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy are drawn from pretigious families with long histories of military service. Few are promoted up from lower ranks. Most are inducted straight into officer training academies, instructed in doctorin, leadership, and tactics, and then awarded commissions. There, if they distinguish themselves, they finally get a chance to rise through the upper echelons—but rarely do they find occasion to dirty thier hands.

Royal Guard

The Imperial Royal Guard is one of the most recognizable units in the galaxy, thanks to their distinctive red armor and thelr presence at the side of the Emperor at all public functions. Rumors about the Emperor’s most loyal guards outnumber the known facts, The Royal Guard is composed of an elite stormtrooper unit, trained well beyond the standard of any other military force in the Empire. Its exact numbers are unknown, but the Guard is never dispatched along with regular stormtrooper or military units. It is unknown if the Royal Guardsmen are clones, Human recruits. or both.

Imperial Sovereign Protector

The newly created Imperial Sovereign Protectors are the elite of the elite Royal Guards. Not satisfied to let any of his subjects become comfortable in their current position, the Emperor finds new ways to set the bar higher to encourage improvement and distract their attention from sensitive matters or plots of their own. At present, the Imperial Sovereign Protectors are extremely few in number. It takes years of training and the protocols are under development. A few of the elite Protectors have already been revealed as a goal-setting measure for the rest of the Emperor’s guard, as well as a deterrent to those who might plan to eliminate the Emperor through force. The numbers are restricted for another reason: these elite individuals must also be able to learn rudimentary Force abilities for use in defending their sovereign and master.
