In addition, stormtroopers would serve with the regular infantry to enforce oppressive rule over the galaxy. Taking their name from the "storm" of galactic history, clone troopers served as the first generation of stormtroopers, and were gradually replaced by Imperial recruits known as TK stormtroopers.
In the canon anthology book From a Certain Point of View, the stormtroopers who serve on the Death Star and board the Tantive IV are referred to by TK numbers. The TK in their operating numbers likely designates one of the units under the command of Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin.
The Tragic Story of a Stormtrooper Who Tried to Befriend Luke Skywalker
What did the Germans call stormtroopers?
Stormtroopers (German: Sturmtruppen or Stoßtruppen) were specialist infantry soldiers of the German Army. In the last years of World War I, Stoßtruppen ("shock troopers" or "shove troopers") were trained to use infiltration tactics – part of the Germans' improved method of attack on enemy trenches.
Gestapo agents often wore long, black trench coats over their uniforms. If they were wearing a uniform (some of them wore plainclothes), they wore uniforms similar to the SS. These were gray-green, with the infamous red, black, and white swastika.
The shadow stormtroopers, also known as Blackhole stormtroopers due to their association with Agent Blackhole, were specialized Imperial stormtroopers.
In the Stormtrooper Corps, one of the smallest units was a squad, which consisted of ten stormtroopers. A platoon was made up of five squads, and a company was made up of four platoons. Higher up, a battalion consisted of four companies, and a regiment had four battalions in it.
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.
As a result of his accelerated aging, the clone trooper was eventually considered unfit for military service which left him destitute and abandoned. By 9 BBY, Nax resided, homeless, on the planet Daiyu.
Although Solo was the last of the Skywalker bloodline, Rey assumed the name "Skywalker" to honor their memory, repudiating her own heritage as a Palpatine.
Finn was in love with Rey, or at least fascinated by her as one of the first people he met after breaking his lifelong conditioning. It is unclear whether Rey ever reciprocated his feelings. She never overtly rejected him because he never overtly made a move.
Unlike the old Empire, the Empire of the Hand recruited stormtroopers from a variety of Humanoid sources. Though the stormtrooper ranks remained consistently dominated by Human male recruits, it marked the first time that Non-Humans were allowed to serve as Imperial soldiers.
Members of this new generation of stormtroopers are trained from birth, growing up with unit designations instead of names and fed a steady diet of First Order propaganda to ensure absolute loyalty.
Short answer: Yes, but they're clearly a minority. From Canon, we only have three named so far: Captain Phasma (First Order), Iden Versio (Empire, the newer Battlefront 2 game), and that First Order deserter in Ep. IX.
Death troopers were required to meet rigid physical and ideological standards, with height and weight standards that exceeded typical trooper averages.
Finn, formerly designated FN-2187 ("Eight-Seven"), was a Force-sensitive human male and former stormtrooper who served the First Order until his desertion and subsequent defection to the Resistance during the First Order-Resistance War.
Wetland assault stormtroopers, nicknamed swamptroopers, were specialized stormtroopers trained and equipped to operate in forested wetlands and other semi-aquatic environments, such as lakes, rivers, and settlements built on or near waterways. Their armor was tinted green for camouflage.
The SS (Schutzstaffel, or Protection Squads) was originally established as Adolf Hitler's personal bodyguard unit. It would later become both the elite guard of the Nazi Reich and Hitler's executive force prepared to carry out all security-related duties, without regard for legal restraint. Key Facts. 1.
The collar patches of the SA were color-coded: each Gruppe had its own distinctive color. The SS was considered to be a Gruppe unto itself; its color, naturally, was black, and Reichsführer-SS Heiden held the rank of Gruppenfuhrer and wore its three oak leaf insignia.
