Dark Trooper Project



The Dark Trooper Project was a program run by Rom Mohc of the Galactic Empire, funded by Emperor Palpatine, to develop what would of become next generation stormtroopers/battle droids, the Dark troopers. The Arc Hammer served as the main production facility.

The project was divided into three phases: phases 1 II, and III. After initial production of Phase II, an attack was launched on Talay Tak Base. The attack proved the capabilites of Phase II Dark Troopers; the base was completely wiped out in minutes.

Under the command of Mon Mothma, Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors continually sabotaged the production facilities, eventually leading to the Arc Hammer, where Mohc wore a Phase III Dark Trooper exoskeleton against Katarn. Mohc was killed in the skirmish, and the Hammer was destroyed by thermal detonator charges. Furious at the time and credits wasted on the project, Palpatine ended all productions of the dark troopers.
