71st Mobile Reconnaissance Unit

The 71st Mobile Reconnaissance Unit was an elite unit of Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers in service from 18 BBY to 9 ABY. The group mostly specialized in sniping, scouting, and doing patrols around planets, though every member was extremely well trained in blaster combat.

History
1 year after the Galactic Empire was founded, the 71st was created. By the end of the war, it had seen many battles. The group was dissolved in 9 ABY, after several unsuccessful attempts to break into New Republic bases. The group was originally commanded by TBR-226 but he was killed by a small squad of Rebels. The second-in-command at the time, TK-117, took over, and killed every last rebel, but he was badly injured by the end of it. He ultimately survived, and went on to command the group until its end in 9 ABY. The group's base was the Imperial Star Destroyer Sentinel''. ''Their commanding officer was Admiral Stryker Perox.
