Expose, Pursue, Destroy

Expose, Pursue, Destroy was an Imperial propaganda poster created by COMPNOR art director Dasita Lyros. It depicted a regular stormtrooper, a scout trooper, and a cold weather assault stormtrooper adopting idealized, hieratic poses, as well as the words "Your Emperor commands you: Expose - Pursue - Destroy - Those who would resist us" in red type (and in the case of the final words, black type on a red banner) using the High Galactic alphabet.

As open combat between the Rebellion and Empire sent the galaxy into a state of civil war, the soldier art that depicted Imperials as sentries and vanguards became more dynamic. Troops were now depicted in action, and the sense of glory infused in the images evoked the more rousing posters of the Clone Wars.
