Emperor's Shadow Guard

The Emperor's Shadow Guard was an organization of elite soldiers who served the Galactic Empire during the Great Jedi Purge. They were based on the Emperor's Royal Guard, their appearance almost identical except that their armor and visor colors were inverted, with the full body armor and robe being black and the visor red. Shadow Guards were completely mute and rarely seen in public, dispatched on special missions by Palpatine himself. It was rumored that some of the Shadow Guard were corrupted Jedi captured during the Purge; whether or not this was true, all Shadow Guards received basic training in the Force and were armed with lightsaber pikes.
