Imperial Navy trooper



The Imperial Navy troopers were soldiers assigned by the Imperial Navy to serve as guards and soldiers onboard its many Star Destroyers and other installations, including the Death Stars. Grand Moff 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 Empire as soldiers and security guards, they handled hangar control traffic, monitored sensor arrays, and performed various other duties.
