Trooper

"The best trooper is a smart trooper."

―An Imperial stormtrooper

Stormtroopers served as elite troops of the Galactic Empire.

Troopers, sometimes referred to as troops or grunts, were soldiers who served in a military force, such as that of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, who were bred on Kamino, the stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire, elite troops deployed on the frontlines and stationed aboard installations such as Star Destroyers, the Alliance troopers of the Rebel Alliance, the stormtroopers of the First Order, and the Resistance Troopers of General Leia Organa's Resistance.
