Minions of the Galactic Empire
 |
The clone troopers, now proudly bearing the honorable rank of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example. |  |
— Emperor Palpatine during the Declaration of a New Order |
Stormtroopers are the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. Like Imperial-class Star Destroyers and TIE Fighters, stormtroopers serve as ever-present reminders of the absolute power of Emperor Palpatine. These faceless enforcers of the New Order are considered an extension of the Emperor's will and are known for using efficient yet brutal tactics to keep thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy in submission to the Empire. They physically symbolize of major authority. With few exceptions, they are distinguished from all other military units by their signature white armor.
