Assault Troopers

The Assault Troopers were a military unit formed by Admiral David Alexander when he broke away from the Empire. The Assault Troopers were made up of the Stormtroopers that were present on the ships of Alexander's fleet when he broke away. When new vessels were captured, the Stormtroopers were given the choice to join the Assault Troopers, an offer that most accepted.

Strength
Upon the creation of the Assault Troopers, they numbered approximately 200,000 men, along with several dozen ground vehicles, primarily AT-ATs and AT-STs. Over the next several years, the ranks of the infantry battalions were swelled by the troops on board every Star Destroyer captured, and the vehicles were bolstered by T-4B Heavy Tanks and even some Clone wars era AT-TEs.
