Imperial Commando Corps

The Imperial Commando Corps was an elite unit within the Imperial Army. The units was made up of clone commandos and the best stormtrooper recruits.

Overview
The Corps was made to confront the Empire's most hated enemies. They often worked with Force using units such as the Shadow Guard and others. The unit received it's own officers and commanders, but they still took orders from Darth Vader and Galactic Emperor Palpatine. The Corps had different positions and different units for different sorts of jobs and missions. Several elite squads were made up of Shadow Guards and Dark Side Adepts. They were basically all trained for hard missions and infiltrations.

Formation
The Corps was formed around 10 BBY, when large threats against the Galactic Empire started to turn up. The Emperor wanted to get rid of the threats and met with the Imperial Inner Circle to discuss the plans. A Moff from the Mid Rim suggested to create elite units that could wipe out a base in a matter of minutes. That's when the Corps was made. The Emperor agreed, and soon mass cloning and training efforts rose. A whole quadrant was blocked off and a space station was made there to serve as the headquarters of the Corps. Any unauthorized ship that entered the quadrant would be blasted on sight by turbolasers and patrolling TIEs.

Meanwhile, the effort to get soldiers in the unit started. Cloning facilities across the galaxy were told to close off and start making elite clones. The clones were trained well on their cloning planets and stations, and also got training in Quadrant 51, the headquarters. Stormtrooper academies were visited and the recruits and cadets were tested, and the best were hand picked out to join the Corps. At the time, the project was top secret and so no one outside the Imperial Army and Navy was allowed to know about it, and the Empire didn't tell the cadets what the series of tests was even for.

The Corps was formed, and massive construction efforts for other space stations and bases and training facilities for the Corps began across the Galaxy. The galaxy was unaware of the Corps's formation, and agents of the Black Sun and the Hutt Cartel tried to infiltrate the Army and Navy to find out why large areas of space were being closed off to the public. They all failed, and the spies were all killed. The Imperial Department of Military Research started making advanced weapons and vehicles and armor for the Corps's soldiers. Soon, the project was finished.
