Imperial Bodyguard

Imperial Bodyguards were elite enforcers assigned to protect Imperial Advisors. They wore distinctive body-armour, and were skilled wielders of the force pike, although they also carried heavy blaster pistols.



Bregius Goltham had a personal escort of four of these troopers. In 4 ABY, they accompanied him on a mission to the planet Canyon where he seized smuggler and New Republic scout Platt Okeefe, and subsequently served as her guards when she was chained as a trophy in the audience chamber of his stronghold on Voktunma. They had order to guard her with their lives, and when the Black Curs rescued her, that was probably exactly what they did.

Behind the scenes

 * It is not clear whether the Imperial Bodyguards were unique personal escorts for Advisor Goltham, or if they were assigned to all the Advisors; nor is it certain if they before the Battle of Endor, or if they were created at the time of the Cabal.
