TK-104[2] was a Human[1] Imperial stormtrooper during the Galactic Civil War. TK-104 was stationed on the planet Bespin[2] during its occupation by Imperial forces led by the Sith Lord Darth Vader[3] in the year 3 ABY.[4] Darth Vader planned to capture the freighter Millennium Falcon, which carried the Rebel Alliance fugitives Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo, who were used as bait for his true target: his Jedi son Luke Skywalker.[3] TK-104 was present on Bespin's Cloud City when the fugitive Rebel ship arrived on the planet.[2][3] The trooper was loyal, and like many other stormtroopers, tried to stand out in service to Darth Vader in the hope of receiving the Sith Lord's notice and favor.[2]
