White Armor Association

The White Armor Association (WAA) was a non-profit organization of veterans of units within the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, particularly of units that were formerly part of the Grand Army of the Republic's Third Systems Army, which included such renowned units as the 501st Legion and the 7th Corps. They were formed in 10 BBY after stormtrooper veterans began demanding that the Galactic Senate create financial benefits for veterans that saw combat in extremely hostile warzones. Stationary units that saw less combat were not eligible for membership in the White Armor Association, though did have access to other benefits and organizations. Members of eligible units who were clones and not biologically conceived stormtroopers were also not permitted for membership.

The White Armor Association Headquarters was located in the Business District on Coruscant and was protected by the Imperial Veterans Protection Agency (IVPA), which was an autonomous law enforcement organization under the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR) that patrolled the headquarters of all veterans associations (including for other branches such as the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, Imperial Maritime Navy, Imperial Aerospace Force, and Imperial Starfighter Corps) across the surface of Galactic City. IVPA officers were typically former veterans of the Stormtrooper Corps and as such, their uniforms resembled that of the Stormtrooper Corps' commissioned officers.
