Death trooper

Death troopers were an elite variant of the Galactic Empire's stormtrooper that were a part of the Empire's Military Intelligence. They wore black suits of armor. A squad of death troopers served under Director Orson Krennic's command, wielded as his personal weapon against the Rebel Alliance. They were present for the theft of the Death Star plans at the beginning of the Galactic Civil War. Death troopers were known to wield SE-14C blaster pistols, blaster rifles similar to the E-11, and long-range blaster rifles similar to the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle.
