Phase-III Dark Trooper

The Phase-III Dark Trooper, also known as the third-generation design Dark Trooper, was a type of elite, experimental third-generation battle droid manufactured by the Imperial Department of Military Research and used by the Imperial remnant of Moff Gideon. The black and silver-plated droids were humanoid in shape and featured a pair of red photoreceptors.

The droids were heat resistant, blaster resistant, and utilized extreme strength, being able to heavily damage Imperial blast doors- but were very slow in general speed. According to Dr. Penn Pershing, they took up too much energy to be ready at all times, so they were kept in cold storage and took a few minutes to deploy.
