History[]
Occupation of Mandalore[]
The 103rd was commissioned in 18 BBY and was comprised exclusively non-clone personnel drafted from the specialist units of various planetary defense forces. Considered one of the most elite legions of the Stormtrooper Corps, the 103rd was selected to enforce the Galactic Empire's unstable occupation of the Mandalore system. Alongside Viceroy Gar Saxon's Imperial Super Commandos, the 103rd Legion battled with the local Mandalorian clans that constantly resisted the Imperial occupation. Expectedly, the 103rd found themselves outmatched by the Mandalorians, who had superior armament and skill, resulting in the 103rd's personnel being wiped out and replaced on several occasions despite their reputation.
Wayland[]
In 2 BBY, General Mundo was assassinated by Mandalorian insurgents and the 103rd Legion was subsequently relocated to Wayland, where the 103rd was charged with protecting Emperor Palpatine's artifact collections against local insurgents. The 103rd's stormtroopers had much higher morale on Wayland, as the opposition there had inferior equipment and training than their previous Mandalorian opponents.
After the Battle of Endor in which the Galactic Empire was decentralized and its military was fragmented, the 103rd left Wayland and began operating as mercenaries for the various Imperial remnants.
Description[]
Like all other Imperial stormtrooper legions, the 103rd Legion's stormtroopers were equipped with the standard-issue white armor and E-11 blaster rifles. The 103rd also contained some specialist units such as scout troopers and jumptroopers. It also operated various vehicles, including 614-AvA speeder bikes, 74-Z speeder bikes, K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transports, and All Terrain Defense Pods.
