Unidentified stormtrooper sergeant

"Hello boys. I'm afraid this has all been a terrible misunderstanding." "One that you're going to answer for. Now drop your weapons."

- Ketsu Onyo and the stormtrooper sergeant

A stormtrooper sergeant operated on the planet Garel during the Age of the Empire. While patrolling locked down hangars in the Garel City Spaceport, the sergeant and his squad of stormtroopers came across the bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo and her old partner Sabine Wren while they were in the middle of a standoff. When the sergeant ordered them and their other companions to disperse, Onyo opened fire on the stormtroopers. After several of the sergeant's men were incapacitated, he tried to fight Onyo in single combat after she disarmed him, but he was defeated. After Onyo and the others departed the hangar, the sergeant returned to his feet and expressed a dislike for the bounty hunters on Garel.

- The stormtrooper sergeant

A male individual served the Galactic Empire during the Age of the Empire as a stormtrooper sergeant on the planet Garel. During the fourth year before the Battle of Yavin, the sergeant was patrolling the Garel City Spaceport with a squad of stormtroopers when they encountered the rebels Sabine Wren, Ezra Bridger, C1-10P, and EG-86 squaring off with the Black Sun bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo. The sergeant informed them that the hangar was closed and that they were to leave immediately. In response, Onyo fired her weapons at the stormtroopers. In response, the Imperials opened fire on everyone present. Several stormtroopers were incapacitated during the firefight, and the sergeant jumped aboard some crates to get a better vantage point.

With the help of C1-10P, the rebels were able to escape aboard a starship, and left Onyo to face the remaining stormtroopers alone. The sergeant and his men surrounded her and ordered her to surrender. Onyo responded by grabbing one stormtrooper to use as a shield, which one of the stormtroopers shot in the chest. Onyo used her staff to melee her way past the remaining stormtroopers, and disarmed the sergeant in the process. He chased her, but she turned around and whacked him across the head with her staff. After jumping over the last conscious stormtrooper, Onyo escaped to her personal ship, the Shadow Caster. The sergeant got back to his feet along with the other stormtrooper and, after watching Onyon leave the planet in her ship, verbally expressed a distaste for the bounty hunters on Garel.
