Phase II dark trooper

"Finally, after all those years, The Force Awakens."

- Sheev Phase II dark troopers were heavily armored experimental units used by the Galactic Empire of Sheev Palpatine some time between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. They were equipped with assault cannons that enabled them to storm enemy defenses.
