Star Wars: Uprising states that the Empire had 25,000 Imperial Star Destroyer with 45,000 Stormtroopers aboard the vessel. Now if we do simple math, that would come out to 1.1 billion. The Galactic Empire never revealed the true number of Stormtroopers. As far as we know, there were billions.
According to Star Wars lore, Imperial stormtroopers are men and women who have been recruited (or conscripted) at a young age to serve as expendable foot soldiers of the Empire, gradually replacing clone troopers as their accelerated aging forces them to retire.
Despite the loss of Starkiller Base, the First Order moved to impose its rule over the galaxy through military force, having eliminated the New Republic as an obstacle. At that time, the First Order's forces included ten thousand combat ready troops.
At its peak, the Galactic Empire sprawls over much of the known Star Wars galaxy, which consists of millions of star systems and billions more fringe colonies, shipyards, fortress worlds, and outer territories.
Garrisons are the largest type of local unit. One must have at least 25 active members, but there is no upward limit to how many members can belong to a garrison.
How Many Stormtroopers did the Empire Have? - Star Wars Explained
How many Jedi outlived the Empire?
Known survivors. It was said that fewer than one hundred Jedi—approximately one percent of the entire Order—survived Order 66. However, the number seemed closer to two hundred.
Some clones resisted Palpatine's Order 66 in canon and Legends, helped the Jedi escape, and chose not to obey. Clones like Rex, Kix, Gregor, and ARC Troopers removed inhibitor chips and preserved their free will post-Order 66.
What happened to the stormtroopers after the Empire fell?
Although the deaths of both Emperor Palpatine and Lord Vader in 4 ABY caused the collapse and fragmentation of the original Galactic Empire, stormtroopers were retained as elite soldiers under several successor states, such as the Imperial Remnant, the Second Imperium, and the Empire of the Hand.
In most canonically documented cases, Stormtroopers also received regular pay in Imperial credits. However, due to the nature of the Empire's conscription program, much of that pay didn't stay with the soldiers themselves. That's because many recruits sent their pay directly back to their families on their homeworlds.
They probably make anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 credits per year (not to mention free room and board during deployment). Are you planning on joining the storm trooper ranks?
There have been various reasons for this very briefly touched on in expanded universe offerings. One reason being that the clones were too expensive to produce and raise. Another being that getting citizens to sign up to fight for the Empire made those same citizens and their families more loyal to the Empire.
After the final death of Palpatine in 11 ABY, Xandel Carivus proclaimed himself the Emperor, but was soon killed by Kir Kanos. Under the Imperial Remnant, the role of Imperial Head of State was assumed by Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet.
The Imperial Navy's largest formal organizational unit was the Sector Group, nominally composed of 2,600 starships, of which 24 were Imperial-class Star Destroyers and another 1,600 were smaller warships, under the control of a High Admiral, usually the sector Moff.
Commander Pyre is a stormtrooper commander of the First Order who appears as the main antagonist of the animated series Star Wars Resistance. He wears a gold-plated armor and commands a unit of stormtroopers.
The elite Shadow Troopers answered to the authority of the commanders as well. The commanders were an aesthetic anomaly within the Stormtrooper Corps; the blue markings on their armor separated them from the rest of the plain white-armored soldiers.
Additionally, the 2008 Legends video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed introduced gray-armored stormtroopers with blue-lit plating who also possessed cloaking devices, identified as "Shadow Troopers."
When Chancellor Palpatine - in reality the Sith Lord Darth Sidious - issued Order 66, the 501st became the personal unit of his apprentice, Darth Vader.
Most of the members' mutations and the ordeal Echo suffered prior to joining caused their inhibitor chips to have less effect, meaning Clone Force 99 was able to disobey Order 66, at least at first, while they were fighting in the Battle of Kaller, and Hunter helped Jedi Padawan Caleb Dume escape the other clones by ...
Order 69(AKA "clean up") was the idea to kill the entire clone army in one sitting, leaving the Jedi defenseless and exposed by the sudden departure. Palpatine knows the Jedi's weakness is empathy and most will try to help the clones and now it should be easy to either drive the Jedi into hiding or have them killed.
