Imperial Navy trooper



Imperial Navy troopers were soldiers assigned by the Imperial Navy as part of Imperial Fleet Regiments to serve as guards and soldiers onboard its many Star Destroyers and other installations, including the Death Stars. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin selected highly trained elite men from this organization to form the Death Star troopers.

The Death Star troopers were the first to wear the distinctive black protective helmet and black uniform that soon spread to the other Imperial Navy trooper units. Their primary weapon was a blaster pistol. Besides serving the Galactic Empire as soldiers and security guards, they handled hangar control traffic, monitored sensor arrays, and performed various other duties.They guard the main conference room on the Death Stars and escort prisoners to their cells.
