Sith trooper

Sith troopers were a variant of the stormtroopers that served the First Order during its war against the Resistance. Named after the Sith, an ancient order of Force-users devoted to the dark side, these troopers wore red-colored stormtrooper armor and wielded a type of black and red blaster rifles.

Behind the scenes
"It has some really unique aesthetics to it. And it has some subtle ties to previous stormtrooper designs, which I think fans will enjoy discovering."

Sith troopers were created and developed for the upcoming 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. They were designed by Lucasfilm concept artist Glyn Dillon and concept artist Sam Williams.
