Encased in protective armor and wielding the most powerful personal weapons available, Imperial stormtroopers form the Empire's elite shock troops and are feared throughout the galaxy. Stormtroopers support the two arms of the military - assisting the ground forces and the Imperial fleets - but remain apart and separate from these organizations.

Imperial command assigns stormtroopers wherever they are needed to crush resistance and neutralize opposition to the will of the Emperor. They are totally loyal and cannot be bribed, seduced or blackmailed into betraying the New Order. They live in a totally disciplined militaristic world where obedience is paramount and the will of the Empire is unquestioned.

Where the men who wear the armor of the stormtroopers are recruited from is unknown, even to the Imperial Navy's highest officers. This is just another part of the mystery that adds to the aura of fear and secrecy that surrounds these soldiers.

Some say the stormtroopers were created to provide the Emperor with an obedient force that was loyal to no one but him. Others note that these specialized warriors were designed to provide adequate protection to the varied world of the Galactic Empire with little preparation time. Whether one or both of these are true, it remains that the stormtroopers fit the doctrine of rule through fear very well indeed.

In addition to the core stormtrooper force (which some reports indicate is greater than the number of regular Army and Naval forces combined), a number of elite divisions have been established to move into a specialized environment at a moment's notice. These units are equipped with particularly designed armor, weapons, and gear created for use in specific environments. Stormtrooper units sometimes wears shoulder pauldrons as rank indicators.
