Stormtroopers were the elite troops of the Empire.

History

Stormtroopers were created from the Galactic Republic's Clone Troopers, following the activation of Order 66 and the fall of the Jedi Order.

They were used to protect the Empire during the Rebellion and throughout the Galactic Civil War. Following the battles of Endor and Jakku, the surviving stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire were forced into exile by the New Republic.

Thirty years later, the First Order used their own type of Stormtrooper against the Resistance.
