Dark Troopers

"These soldiers are former stormtroopers modified with a new training, new tactics, and new armor. The armor will be made from the styles of the original stormtrooper armor and with clone/mandalorian modifications. They shall be the Empire's soldiers and protectors and they will be further known as...Dark Troopers. The saviors of the Empire."

Dark Troopers were the standard troopers of the Empire. They were at first refered to as Black Stormtroopers and Stormie/Darkies before actually showing their skills in combat and then they were the respected Dark Troopers of the Empire.

The Dark Troopers formed the Dark Trooper Corps and fought with the Army and the Imperial Navy although they also worked alone.

Organization
Dark Troopers were both tied and seperated to the Imperial Armed Forces as they both participated with the Army but they also maintained their own command structure, ranking system, and support facilities. Dark Troopers were loyal to the Empire, the Emperor and the Corps first and everything else second. Dark Trooper only followed orders from Army and Navy personnel if the personnel were either Sith or if the Dark Trooper was very low ranking. Higher ranking Dark Troopers could follow orders at their discretion but it was not necessary.

The unit of the organiztion was the individual Dark Trooper. Dark Troopers were organized into squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, and legions. One battallion consisted from 850-970 troopers and during wartime, more than 1,000 Dark Troopers. Each Trooper was assigned a specific purpose and job to do in combat.
