RGA-972 was the designation of a Human male who served as a snowtrooper in the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. In 3 ABY, RGA-972 participated in the Battle of Hoth against Rebel forces, serving as an assault specialist. RGA-972 had training in the use of many heavy weapons, including the E-Web heavy repeating blaster, and he was part of an E-web team during the battle.

Behind the scenes
RGA-972 first appeared on two cards in Decipher's 2001 Jedi Knights Trading Card Game. Based on the cards' statistics, RGA-972's combat abilities are weaker than most other stormtrooper characters. The statistics also show that while RGA-972 is supporting another character, such as the Sith Lord Darth Vader, the character's power increases. The in-game lore of his Premiere card reveals that E-Web teams needed protection while setting up their weapon, and that Rebels and Wampas posed a threat to the operation.
