This is the last part of “All the different Stormtrooper types and variants” series.
If you missed Parts 1, 2, and 3, links to them will be in the description of this video.
First is the Imperial Commando Special Unit.
This unit was comprised of clones, and was one of the most elite units in the Imperial
Military.
They were mainly used in hunting down surviving Jedi and clone deserters.
Their armor provided far better protection than regular Stormtrooper armor, and included
special features like deflector shields.
They usually were equipped with the DC-17m rifle.
Second are the storm commandos, also known as Imperial commandos or shadow scouts.
Storm commandos were tasked to instigate uprisings on enemy systems and to subdue insurrections
on Imperial-held worlds.
They relied on stealth over brute force during their operations.
Their armor was based on the scout trooper's light armor and was usually black.
They carried a cloaking device, that allowed them to turn invisible.
They sometimes wore shock trooper armor when protection was valued over mobility.
They usually were equipped with an E-11 blaster, and also used flamethrowers if the situation
required it.
Third are the Imperial Navy commandos.
They were lightly armored soldiers that were trained for patrol, guard, and monitor duty.
Their armor was sort of like a combination of regular stormtrooper armor, snowtrooper
armor, and scout trooper armor.
Their primary weapon was the E-11 blaster rifle.
Fourth are the Imperial Marines.
They were primary stationed on Imperial naval warships and Star Destroyers.
They utilized cutting lasers and explosive charges to breach enemy vessels, and were
generally the first to board on captured starships.
Their primary weapons included an E-11 blaster rifle and a MiniMag PTL missile launcher.
Fifth are the heavy stormtroopers, also known as heavy weapons stormtroopers.
They wore slightly better armor than regular armor and were armed with a rapid-fire blaster.
The weight of their armor and blaster limited their mobility.
Sixth are the Imperial heavy troopers, not to be confused with the heavy stormtroopers
previously.
These soldiers were large warriors that were trained for melee combat.
They were highly trained, and were capable of killing even a force user in close combat.
Their armor provided limited protection from lightsabers, and their weapon of choice were
electro staffs.
Seventh are the Field stormtroopers, also known as field troopers.
They were higher ranking stormtroopers with superior field experience and weaponry.
They were recognizable by their multi-colored pauldrons, which related to what their expertise
were.
Orange pauldrons were equipped with E-11 blaster rifles, Yellow pauldrons were equipped with
rail detonators, and Red pauldrons were equipped with Imperial Repeater Rifles.
Eighth are the Stormtrooper Commanders.
They were regarded as the Empire’s best soldiers, and had command over most other
soldiers, even Shadow Troopers.
They wore upgraded armor that had blue markings.
They were equipped with blaster cannons.
Ninth are the Armored Stormtroopers.
They are distinguishable by their heavy armor, orange shoulder pads, and a red monocle-like
device on their right eye.
They were also known to utilize heavy weapons.
Tenth are the Clone Stormtroopers.
They were Jango Fett Clones from the Clone Wars who became the very first Stormtroopers.
Although they possessed the same armor and weapons as regular Human stormtroopers, they
typically performed better than them due to their superior training and vast experience
from the Clone Wars.
They would slowly be replaced by regular Human stormtroopers and would end up being a small
minority in the Imperial military in the later years of the Galactic Empire.
Eleventh are the Imperial Coruscant Guards.
They had similar duties to the previous Republic Coruscant Guards, which included protecting
government buildings and policing the Senate District.
They wore distinctive crimson red heavy armor that protected them from a majority of weapons
they were expected to encounter.
Their helmets also allowed them to see in complete darkness.
Twelfth are the Stormsnipers, also known as Stormtrooper snipers.
They specialized in the use of long range weapons, especially snipers.
They wore a blue pauldron and sometimes had a black bandolier strapped across their chest
plate.
Thirteen are the Sniper troopers, not to be confused with the Stormsnipers seen previously.
Sniper troopers were trained to effectively use the E-11s sniper rifle and wore gray scout
trooper armor.
Fourteenth are the Crowd Control Stormtroopers.
They specialized in suppressing crowds and crushing uprisings.
Their crowd control equipment allowed them to easily fend off large crowds.
They were also equipped with a thruster pack, which mounted a heavy blaster module, a capture
claw, and a supercharged taser.
Fifteenth are the Death Troopers.
These troopers were undead stormtroopers accidentally created by an Imperial biological weapon codenamed
Blackwing.
They possessed only primitive feral instincts but were able to communicate and learn from
each other through what seemed like unintelligible screeching.
Despite being zombies, they still were able to use weapons and perform tasks they possessed
before they turned into zombies.
Last for Part 4 are the Guardsmen Stormtroopers, also known as the Emperor’s Royal Guard
wearing stormtrooper armor.
They were used for field operations that required special combat armor.
This armor was vastly better than regular stormtrooper armor.
Because they were a part of the Royal Guard, these soldiers had excellent training in combat.
Thanks for watching the last part of this series.
We will be doing a similar series for clone troopers and other star wars factions, as
well as go over other Imperial branches like the Imperial Navy branch.
I hope you guys enjoyed this series, and let us know in the comments what other factions
you want us to do a similar series on!
