Clone stormtrooper

Clone stormtroopers were the original elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. After the fall of the Galactic Republic and the formation of Emperor Palpatine's New Order, the Republic Grand Army's clone troopers were re-designated as stormtroopers. Throughout the early years of Palpatine's reign, the Empire continued to utilize the Jango Fett template, but later commissioned recruits in the Imperial military. While these recruits and other clone templates filled the Stormtrooper Corps, the Fett template clones remained the majority of the Corps.

After witnessing atrocities committed by the Empire, some of these stormtroopers defected to the Galactic Confederate Systems to serve in the Confederation Military.
