Emperor's Shadow Guard

The Emperor's Shadow Guards were elite Force-using units in the New Galactic Empire's Imperial Army.

Only few Imperials knew the origins of the mysterious Shadow Guards. Some thought they were cyborgs. Shadow Guards use the Force and lightsaber pikes, so some speculate that they are indeed Jedi brainwashed by the Empire and were trained to use the Dark Side. Regardless of the truth, they were highly respected in the Imperial ranks.

They are some of the Empire's most elite units, and often lead Royal Procession members and shadow troopers and commandos into battle against the Emperor's most hated enemies. They are specifically trained to fight against Jedi.
