Stormtrooper Commander

Stormtrooper Commander was a position in the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps. Stormtroopers with the position were commanding officers and ranking military officers. With their position often distinguished from other troopers via pauldrons that signified their military rank by color, "Stormtrooper Commander" served as an overall term for any ranking stormtrooper officer, whether or not their specific rank was that of "commander." For example, squad leaders, who were Stormtrooper Commanders, wore red or orange pauldrons. Additionally, the term Stormtrooper Commander was the title referring to the Imperial officer of an entire Star Destroyer's stormtrooper attachment, similar to a Starfighter Commander who served as the Star Destroyer's starfighter commanding officer.
