Patrol trooper

Patrol troopers were a specialized variant of the Galactic Empire's stormtroopers, acting as a rapid response policing force within urban environments and serving as the urban equivalent to the scout trooper. As the Empire reinforced its hold on planets across the galaxy, local defense forces were being supplemented and eventually completely replaced by stormtroopers. To cover distances across sprawling settlements and cities, patrol troopers policed the streets aboard their swift C-PH patrol speeder bikes and were armed with EC-17 hold-out blasters.
