Shadow trooper

Shadow troopers, also spelled as shadowtroopers, were elite and highly trained stormtroopers that served the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War against the Rebel Alliance. Based on the Republic's clone shadow troopers, the Imperial trooper successors were fanatically loyal to the Empire.

Shadow troopers wore distinguishing black suits of experimental armor coupled with a portable cloaking device, rendering them almost completely invisible and highly suited for stealth missions. The specialized soldiers overwhelmed their enemies by attacking in hordes, using a range of blaster rifles as well as flash grenades and jetpacks.
