death trooper

Death Trooper commandos are an elite branch of imperial stormtroopers with specialized training in unarmed combat, stealth, reconnaissance, espionage, and demolition. They are experts in scouting, raiding, and small unit tactics. As a division of the imperial intelligence branch, they also serve as bodyguards for high ranking officers and political dignitaries.  

They wear a black stealth variant of stormtrooper armor with special upgrades. Among these are voice scramblers, motion detectors, friend-or-foe identification systems, and targeting augmentations.  These warriors definitely deserve the title Death Troopers
