Biography
"You going to stand there, or are you going to arrest me?"

- Anandra Milon taunts the Stormtrooper

A male Human Stormtrooper served the Galactic Empire at around the time that the planet Alderaan was destroyed. Several days after the Disaster, the trooper was stationed on the planet Coruscant where he was patrolling with a member of the Coruscant Underworld Police on Level 1997, an area with a seedy reputation. There, the pair entered a cantina together where they encountered Anandra Milon and her little brother Santigo Milon, a pair of Alderaanian child fugitives from the Empire. The two children fled from the Imperials down into Level 1996 and the Stormtrooper alone gave chase. Taking a turbolift down to 1996, the trooper found Anandra waiting for him on a catwalk when he arrived and tried to arrest her. The young girl at first pretended to comply but then surprised the trooper and disarmed him, after which he managed to hit her several times before she removed his helmet. Before he could resume his attack, the trooper was lifted into the air by a Herglic criminal who had followed him down from the cantina. The criminal threw the trooper from the catwalk to his death in the abyss of Level 1995 below.

- The Stormtrooper and Anandra talk about the destruction of Alderaan

When entering the cantina the trooper and his partner walked with a confident swagger despite the unsavory reputation of Level 1997; however, when he was alone on Level 1996 the man was more nervous and checked behind him before cautiously approaching Anandra. He tried to reason with her before as he approached, sympathising with the hard time she was having but claiming it could be worse. Once Anandra disarmed him however he swiftly hit her despite her young age, although he hesitated after several blows. The trooper was of middle age and had a scarred face by the time he fought Anandra, and reminded her a little of her uncle.

Equipment
The trooper carried an E-11 blaster rifle and wore Stormtrooper armor, the helmet of which produced an electronic hiss which hid the man's tone when he spoke.

Behind the scenes
