- ―FN-2199, a riot control stormtrooper, to Finn
The First Order riot control stormtrooper, also called simply the riot control stormtrooper, was a specialized variant of the standard stormtrooper of the First Order. Assigned to keep order on worlds within First Order territory, they were trained in riot-control tactics and given non-lethal equipment,[1] such as lightweight composite betaplast ballistic riot shields and Z6 riot control batons[6] They also carried lethal weapons, such as the Sonn-Blas F-11D blaster rifle, in case situations spiraled out of control.[1][6] Indeed, riot control stormtroopers could be fielded into active battlefields as specialized soldiers, during which they would wield any of the lethal or non-lethal weapons on their person depending on what the battlefield called for.[4]
During the Battle of Takodana, FN-2199, armed with a Z6 riot control baton, fought his former brother-in-arms Finn in a lightsaber duel, besting Finn until Han Solo shot him with Chewbacca's bowcaster.[4]
Riot control stormtroopers were later present aboard the Supremacy when Captain Phasma ordered the executions of both Finn and Resistance technician Rose Tico.[2]
