Imperial Stormtrooper

"My name is my number, my skin is my armor..." Part of the Stormtrooper code.

Stormtroopers were the main units of the Army of the Galactic Empire. Training started at an young age for non-clone cadets, which not many stormtroopers were at the start of the Empire.

After the Empire's formation in 19 BBY, The first units of stormtrooper were the original clone troopers of the Galactic Republic from the Clone Wars. Stormtroopers quickly became the most feared soldiers in the galaxy, but after the Clone Uprising in 16 BBY, the cloning facilities were shut down on Kamino and soon, the Empire retired the entire Clone Army and replaced them with non-clones. However these newer stormtroopers weren't as strong as the Clone Troopers were, but this did not matter to the all powerful Galactic Empire at this time. With the replacement of the Clone Army, the Stormtrooper armor was modified so it could fit all troopers of the Empire. Overtime, the only part of the Empire that was still made out of Clone Troopers was the 501st legion, which soon was renamed Vader's Fist.
