[hide]About the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps
The Imperial Stormtrooper Corps is the Galactic Empire's planetary military force, enjoying access to some of the most advanced munitions and technologies in the Galaxy, as well as coordinating with the Imperial Navy to better safeguard the Emperor's territories. Given the mandate of protecting and enforcing the rule of Imperial law on the scores of sovereign Imperial worlds, the soldiers and officers of the Stormtrooper Corps rely on superior discipline, advanced weaponry, and courage to carry the day. However, the Corps' strength is not in its training regimen or vehicular might -- fields in which it dominates nonetheless -- but its strength lies in the dedication, devotion, and strength of character of its personnel, from the humble enlisted soldier to the officers who comprise Corps Command.
The mission of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps is, in short, to:
- Defend the sovereignty of Imperial worlds from foreign military forces and insurgent movements.
- Enforce Imperial law and order in conjunction with the Imperial Navy, officers of the Imperial Security Bureau, and Imperial Intelligence agents.
- Conduct regular training operations and maneuvers to ensure unit cohesion and efficacy.
- Coordinate efforts with the Imperial Regional Government to ensure the Emperor's rule remains unchallenged in Imperial space.
- Provide assistance and support in the form of military action to allies of the Empire who so require it.
The Stormtrooper Corps is led by the Military Council, the highest echelon in the service. Each solider is assigned a designation based on their period of service commencement, and they can be identified as Stormtrooper Corps members based on this designation and patches of service.
Armour Forces

The Armour Corps is composed of Light and Heavy Armour units utilizing superior firepower and speed and wielding fine Imperial technology, namely the All-Terrain Scout Transports (AT-ST) and the All-Terrain Armoured Transports (AT-AT) as infantry transportation and weapons platforms. The Armour Corps is divided into strike teams that work within the Regions. Armour forces are the first combatants sent into battle to deal a crushing offensive against enemy forces - or as the first line of defense against an enemy advance - to weaken or neutralize the enemy forces before infantry contact.
Stormtrooper Forces
Stormtroopers are the backbone of the Stormtrooper Corps, and are the elite ground troops of the Imperial Military. They are galactic peacekeepers; their white armor is iconic of Imperial justice and power. Stormtroopers are trained to survive and fight in extreme climates, like the deserts of Tatooine and the glaciers of Hoth. They may be tasked to survey the worlds in a system, oversee sensitive construction projects, and, most importantly, eliminate any threats to the Empire on any given planet's land, sea, and air. Stormtroopers operate as front-line combatants, engaging the enemy after the initial assault by the Armour battalions, and are of primary importance in clearing structures on an assault or protecting structures during a defensive, after the initial battle has subsided.
Soldiers within the Stormtrooper Corps can be equipped with various armor sets throughout their service. The standard Stormtrooper Armour is most commonly used for its versatility, while Snow Trooper Armour is available for low-temperature environments. Additional skill-sets, forces, and deployments can utilize other armor types as required, either in black or various other forms and are similar to the sets utilized by the Imperial Royal Guardsmen.
Reconnaissance Forces

The Reconnaissance Forces of the Imperial Military are composed of Recon Lance units utilizing speed and maneuverability and wielding S74-2 Speeder Bikes as scouts and quick reaction forces. The Reconnaissance Corps is divided into regional strike forces and are deployed to gather intelligence before other units engage a target - or as scouts to deliver intelligence on incoming enemy advances - to find potential weaknesses to exploit or strengths to negate, and are further able to react swiftly to unexpected enemy advances to maintain a light, mobile defense on multiple fronts.
They wear another variant of the standard Stormtrooper Armour, known more commonly as Scout Trooper Armour. The armour is smaller in volume to blend in better with surroundings to ensure proper stealth for the operatives, as well as to improve aerodynamics aboard scout speeders.
Storm Corps History
The Stormtrooper Corps was born as a branch of the Imperial Military during the reforms early in the reign of Emperor Meridan, reorganising many elements and officers from the previous Imperial Army into the new Stormtrooper Corps.
Stormtrooper Corps Technology
Throughout the years, the Corps has built on the rudimentary talents of the Galactic Republic, using the initial designs to assess points of failure and expand on the designs repeatedly. These designs spawned more menacing ground vehicles to strike fear into opponents while ensuring optimal uses for the Imperial Armada on the battlefield.
