Clone shock trooper/Legends

Clone Shock troopers are specialist Clone troopers introduced towards the end of the Clone Wars to increase security and order on Republic worlds. These red-emblazoned troops have become a familiar sight across Galactic City on Coruscant where they operated as law enforcers, patrol public plazas and guard government buildings and landing platforms. These deadly Clone troopers were created by Palpatine, War Council Advisory Panel and the Homeworld Security Command.

Though they wear the Phase II Armour common to all Clone troopers serving in the final year of the Clone Wars, they are distinguised by red markings all over their helmet and body armour. These clones had the authority to demand anyone to reveal their identification on the spot and perform other random security checks.

A number of shock troopers accompanied Palpatine to the Senate after the Jedi's failed arrest attempt, though these special forces sport striped red markings to denote their position. The Clone Shock troopers would, during the time of the Galactic Civil War, become the dreaded and feared Coruscant Guards. These deadly stormtroopers were distinguished by their crimson armour and were also tasked with enforcing law on Coruscant.
