TK-7193 was the designation of[2] a human[1] male who served in the Galactic Empire as an elite stormtrooper tasked with protecting Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin from all threats,[2] prior to the Grand Moff's death during the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY.[3] He wore a set of stormtrooper armor with a black-colored pauldron, and wielded a DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. The trooper had an exceptional strength, which allowed him to subdue enemies with a single strike from the butt of his blaster rifle.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The stormtrooper TK-7193 was introduced in Star Wars: Force Arena, a mobile game developed by Netmarble Games[2] and released on January 12, 2017.[4] The game was later discontinued on March 18, 2019.[5]
Two stormtroopers that match TK-7193's description previously appeared in "Call to Action,"[6] the thirteenth episode of the animated television series Star Wars Rebels' first season.[7] In the episode, set in the year 4 BBY,[3] they accompany Grand Moff Tarkin during his visit to the planet Lothal to personally handle the rebel group known as the Spectres.[6]
