'''Purge Troopers''', also known as '''Purge Stormtroopers''', were [[Imperial Military|Imperial]] [[soldier]]s led by the [[Sith Lord]] [[Anakin Skywalker|Darth Vader]] and the [[Inquisitorius]] during the [[Imperial Era|reign]] of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Trained as expendable [[death]] [[squad]]s, they were activated after the [[Jedi Purge]] and subsequent termination of the [[cloning]] operation on [[Kamino]], making them the last generation produced from the [[Jango Fett]] [[Clone template|template]]. As with their precursors in the [[Grand Army of the Republic|Grand Army]] of the [[Galactic Republic]], Purge [[Trooper]]s were [[Control chip|programmed]] to obey [[Order 66]], making them hostile against all [[Jedi]].

In [[18 BBY]], the Purge Troopers accompanied the Inquisitors and Vader to [[Mon Cala]] in order to hunt down a possible [[Jedi]] who was allegedly advising [[King of Mon Cala]] [[Lee-Char]]. Using the [[Zeta-class shuttle|''Zeta''-class shuttle]] ''[[Infernum]]'', the squad touched down on a landing platform in [[Dac City]]. After the death of [[Ambassador]] [[Telvar]], the Empire dispatched [[landing craft]]<ref name="Dark Lord 13" /> to Dac [[City]] under the command of [[Major]] [[Rantu]], as well as landing craft throughout the world. Eventually, the [[Battle of Dac City]] commenced and the squad aided the Inquisitors in securing the platform, and then accompanied Vader and the Inquisitors to [[Dac City palace]] to capture [[King]] Lee-Char in order to uncover the location of the Jedi.<ref name="Dark Lord 14">''[[Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 14]]''</ref>

Barr informed the Inquisitors he knew who they were and mentioned their former names, Prosset Dibs, Bil Valen, and Masana Tide, and explained they were once Jedi. After the [[Ninth Sister]] retorted that they knew him as well and that their original names were dead, Barr countered, saying that the past didn't die and that he studied how Sidious manipulated [[the galaxy]], including the role clones, had, and unmasked the clones, revealing their faces. Barr continued, as he then knew he was correct when he thought that the clones were from the last production line and were activated after the Jedi Purge. When the Sixth [[Brother/Sister|Brother]] stated that the past did not matter, Barr retorted, saying that once someone was a Jedi, they were always a Jedi, and [[Force power|used]] the Force to [[Mind trick|command]] the squad to execute [[Order 66]].<ref name="Dark Lord 16" />

The young clones, in accordance with their programming opened fire on the three Inquisitors despite their protests. The Tenth Brother was almost immediately gunned down, while Barr and Verla escaped. Ninth Sister and Sixth Brother used the Force to [[Force push|push]] the clones out of the way so they could pursue Barr. However, Sixth Brother [[Dismemberment|sliced off]] Ninth sister's leg to buy him time for his escape. He wished her good luck, and slyly remarked that she was always his favorite. Enraged, Ninth Sister told him he was dead and his actions wouldn't stop her. As the battle came to an end, only one Purge Trooper survived the chaos and sat amongst his fallen brothers.<ref name="Dark Lord 17">''[[Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 17]]''</ref>

"As I thought. Young. From the very last production line. Which means they were brought online after the purge, as an expendable death squad for the Inquisitorius."
―Ferren Barr, on the Purge Troopers[src]

Purge Troopers, also known as Purge Stormtroopers, were Imperial soldiers led by the Sith Lord Darth Vader and the Inquisitorius during the reign of the Galactic Empire assigned to hunt down any surviving Jedi. Trained as expendable death squads, they were activated after the Jedi Purge and subsequent termination of the cloning operation on Kamino, making them the last generation produced from the Jango Fett template. As with their precursors in the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic, Purge Troopers were programmed to obey Order 66, making them hostile against all Jedi.

In 18 BBY, Purge Troopers accompanied Darth Vader as well as the Sixth Brother, Ninth Sister, and Tenth Brother to the planet Mon Cala where they confronted Padawan Ferren Barr and his disciples. At some point, the clones which had made up Purge Trooper ranks were replaced by non-clones. Purge Troopers were also involved in the hunt for Cal Kestis, another Padawan of the fallen Jedi Order, during which they served under the Second Sister.

Purge Troopers were also assigned to guard the key locations of the Empire like Kashyyyk which housed a prison, that was later attacked by Cal Kestis with his crew and the unexpected help of Saw Gerrera, which had captured Wookiees from a resistance movement led by Chieftain Tarfful.

Description

"I fought alongside the clones once, but now I know they are merely machines. Little better than droids. They must obey their programming. As the Inquisitors were once Jedi themselves, and the clones were built to kill Jedi, well…you see the result."
―Ferren Barr, on the Purge Troopers[src]

Purge Troopers were the last clones created from the genetic template of Jango Fett.

Purge Troopers were specialized Imperial soldiers who served the Inquisitorius,[1] although some engaged their enemies without nearby support.[3] One group of Purge Troopers were clones from the final production line, and as such, were young human males. They served as a death squad for the Inquisitors and had a red tattoo on the right side of their faces and had no hair.[5]

History

"We barely survived the wave ourselves—lost two clones."
―The Sixth Brother, to Darth Vader[src]

As part of the final production line of clones, the Purge Troopers were activated after the Jedi Purge and served as expendable death squads for the Galactic Empire's Inquisitorius,[2] a group of Jedi hunters under the command of Sith Lord Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.[6]

Occupation of Mon Cala

"Kill the Jedi."
―The Purge Troopers turn on the Inquisitors under Ferren Barr's influence[src]
Dark Lord 13 Inquisitor Troopers arrive

Members of the Inquisitorius were dispatched to Mon Cala along with a squad of Purge Troopers.

In 18 BBY, the Purge Troopers accompanied the Inquisitors and Vader to Mon Cala in order to hunt down a possible Jedi who was allegedly advising King of Mon Cala Lee-Char. Using the Zeta-class shuttle Infernum, the squad touched down on a landing platform in Dac City. After the death of Ambassador Telvar, the Empire dispatched landing craft[2] to Dac City under the command of Major Rantu, as well as landing craft throughout the world. Eventually, the Battle of Dac City commenced and the squad aided the Inquisitors in securing the platform, and then accompanied Vader and the Inquisitors to Dac City palace to capture King Lee-Char in order to uncover the location of the Jedi.[7]

Two enormous creatures jumped from beneath the ocean's surface and crashed back down, unleashing a tidal wave that destroyed the city. At the palace, Vader and the Inquisitors used Force barrier in an attempt to stop the wave but were ultimately unsuccessful.[7] Vader was separated from the others and the squad lost two members. The Inquisitors were able to regroup and requisition an Imperial submarine and rescued Vader from the Great Ungeness Trench as he defeated a large squid-like creature.[8]

Vader Inquisitors Bel City

Vader leads the Inquisitors and Purge Troopers through Bel City.

After Vader was rescued, the submarine headed to the cave where the Jedi, Padawan Ferren Barr, and his followers were located, and engaged each other just as Barr and his group were escaping. In the fight, which continued to Bel City, several members of Barr's group were killed and Vader left the group to find the king, while the squad and the Inquisitors continued. Barr, Verla, and Daren became trapped in an enclosed chamber. The Sixth Brother killed Daren with his lightsaber and the Tenth Brother told Barr and Verla that there was no escape. Although Verla was ready to face the Jedi hunters and the clones, Barr revealed he had another idea.[5]

Barr informed the Inquisitors he knew who they were and mentioned their former names, Prosset Dibs, Bil Valen, and Masana Tide, and explained they were once Jedi. After the Ninth Sister retorted that they knew him as well and that their original names were dead, Barr countered, saying that the past didn't die and that he studied how Sidious manipulated the galaxy, including the role clones, had, and unmasked the clones, revealing their faces. Barr continued, as he then knew he was correct when he thought that the clones were from the last production line and were activated after the Jedi Purge. When the Sixth Brother stated that the past did not matter, Barr retorted, saying that once someone was a Jedi, they were always a Jedi, and used the Force to command the squad to execute Order 66.[5]

The young clones, in accordance with their programming opened fire on the three Inquisitors despite their protests. The Tenth Brother was almost immediately gunned down, while Barr and Verla escaped. Ninth Sister and Sixth Brother used the Force to push the clones out of the way so they could pursue Barr. However, Sixth Brother sliced off Ninth sister's leg to buy him time for his escape. He wished her good luck, and slyly remarked that she was always his favorite. Enraged, Ninth Sister told him he was dead and his actions wouldn't stop her. As the battle came to an end, only one Purge Trooper survived the chaos and sat amongst his fallen brothers.[9]

Hunting Cal Kestis

"A Jedi. This is what I've trained for."

Purge Troopers on Bracca

Five years into the Jedi Purge, Purge Troopers accompanied the Second Sister and Ninth Sister to Bracca in search of a Jedi, who turned out to be a Padawan named Cal Kestis. At least two of them were based at an Imperial Refinery on Kashyyyk when Kestis infiltrated the compound along with Saw Gerrera and the Partisans. One of them fought off two rebels before confronting the Padawan, but was killed in the fight. Another was later attacked by Kestis while consulting a scout trooper and was also defeated.[3]

Equipment

"Never seen a trooper like that before."
―Saw Gerrera[src]
Second Sister Purge Troopers JFO

Two Purge Troopers flanking the Second Sister.

Every member was equipped with black and red phase II clone paratrooper armor that was lightsaber-resistant. The armor included several silver and/or red designs and a black helmet alike to that of clone paratroopers.[5][10] Commanders wore red pauldrons while other troopers either wore black pauldrons, grey ones or did not wear one depending on their rank or specialty. The pauldron was worn over the right shoulder. Most troopers also wore kamas with commanders having red sections on them but some members did not wear one. Furthermore, some members had bandoliers wrapped around the left shoulder. Every member had the Imperial crest on both shoulder pads, either in red (usually for commanders) or in white (for other ranks).[5][3]

For ranged weaponry, they were equipped with DC-15 blaster rifles,[5] DC-15LEs,[3] DC-15A blaster carbines[11] or E-11 blaster rifles.[12] In close quarters combat, they utilized electrostaffs, electrobatons or electrohammers.[3]

To carry out their duties, Purge Troopers made use of Zeta-class shuttles,[5] TIE/rp Reaper attack landers and LAAT/le gunships.[3]

Behind the scenes

"Cover here by Giuseppe and Elia Bonetti, and man, it's great. Vader and some Inquisitors and a bunch of Inquisitor Troopers, headed on up to ruin someone’s day."
―Charles Soule on his website[src]

The Purge Troopers debuted, although unnamed, in the 2018 canon comic, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 13, written by Charles Soule and pencilled by Giuseppe Camuncoli.[2] They were later identified as Purge Troopers at Celebration Chicago on April 13, 2019 during the panel for the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that was released on November 15, 2019.[13]
