Product Information

Actress Gwendoline Christie, who had previously played Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, was first officially confirmed as Captain Phasma in a Vanity Fair spread released May 4, 2015, [11] following its leak. [12] Christie fought heavily to appear in the film, continually insisting her agent get her a part in it. [13] Christie was not aware that the character was originally a man. [8] Christie took inspiration from her armor—"it's very high-functioning, it's very imposing and it's not malleable at all"—in how to play the character. In playing Phasma, Christie felt encouraged to experiment more with the gesture of a character. [9] [14] By the year 130 ABY, stormtroopers were serving as the elite soldiers of a new Empire, formerly known as the Imperial Remnant until Jagged Fel's ascension as emperor. At some point after Fel claimed the long-vacant Imperial throne, the Stormtrooper Corps was absorbed into the Imperial Army, though individual stormtrooper units remained active and independent of regular soldiers. The stormtrooper ranks were still dominated by Human recruits by that time, but were also composed of even more enlisted aliens than ever before. [40] The 501st Legion, which had been created by the Empire of the Hand after the dissolution of the original 501st, [31] remained active and was stationed on the heavily-fortified world of Bastion.

Report to Imperial Command" — The Star Wars Sourcebook (also reprinted in Second Edition) (Mentioned only) Fans of Star Wars Battlefront will recognise the Stormtrooper's rifle as a DLT-19, one of the most popular weapons in the game. It features a spring-loaded shooter activated from beneath and two grips which allow the Stormtrooper to hold the blaster securely. The forward grip is useful in this respect but its fixed position hinders the poseability of the figure to some degree which is disappointing. a b Hall, Jacob (April 17, 2017).

Aside from harsh environments, the armor also protected the troopers from projectiles and impact weapons. Although it could be penetrated by a direct blaster bolt, the armor was capable of reducing the damage from the absorbed bolt. Blast energy sinks were distributed around the armor to absorb energy from a blaster bolt. The insulated body glove allowed for comfortable operations in an very wide range of climates, including—for a very short time—even total vacuum conditions, or immense extremes of cold and heat.

Cold assault stormtroopers: Also known as snowtroopers; stormtroopers equipped with specialized armor suited to cold terrain environments. [58] However, some Stormtrooper Commanders were not as stringent. At the time of the Spectres' mission to Agamar two years into the Galactic Civil War, a commander from the Imperial detachment nearest to Agamar engaged in a casual conversation with another trooper while confronting a group of Separatist battle droids, providing insight that in the rare instance where one found such droids, there was usually "a bunch of them." Afterwards, the Stormtrooper Commander simply said to his troopers "alright, you know the drill," allowing them to destroy the battle droids. Nevertheless, the Stormtrooper Commander raised his fist to instruct his men to stop firing.

[59] In one definition, the title of Stormtrooper Commander referred to the Imperial officer in command of a Star Destroyer's stormtrooper detachment, similar to the role of a Star Destroyer's Starfighter Commander. Major Ayer served as the Stormtrooper Commander of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Chimaera under Commodore Mitth'raw'nuruodo. [3] Ranks [ ] Phasma received attention before release. Before her name was confirmed, Phasma had been dubbed "the Chrometrooper" by fans. [11] [39] The trademarking of "Captain Phasma" led to speculation that it was the name of Christie's rumored character, said to be an Imperial officer pursuing Finn. [40] Phasma had been the name of a character in one Star Wars fanfic, Tarkin's Fist, leading to MovieWeb wondering if it was an intentional homage. [40] IGN's "Keepin' It Reel" podcast discussed the possibility of Phasma being "the next breakout baddie" in the vein of Boba Fett and Darth Maul. They responded positively to the character's name, despite some initial misgivings, for fitting in with the franchise's Flash Gordon roots. They also praised her armor design, stating that character design had been important in the success of Fett and Maul. They similarly had high hopes for Christie's acting. [41] During the lead-up to the film, Phasma became a fan favorite. [42] Polygon 's Susana Polo considered The Force Awakens a great achievement for Hollywood for its diversity regardless of its quality, though she used Phasma as an example of how the film was not perfect, noting rumors of Phasma's minor role despite her being the first on-screen female stormtrooper.

[23] Inquisitorium dark troopers: Dark trooper variant, created to serve under the direct command of the Inquisitorius. [77] The Empire formally capitulated to the New Republic [83] after the defeat of its loyalist forces on Jakku. [13] With the death of Counselor Rax and Sloane's escape to the Unknown Regions, Grand Vizier Mas Amedda represented the Empire at the signing of the Galactic Concordance. The terms of the peace treaty included the end of hostilities between the Empire and the New Republic, the dissolution of the Imperial government, [83] and the prohibition of the recruitment and training of stormtroopers. Additionally, the Empire was forced to dismantle its network of Imperial Academies. [84] Ironically, the Empire's conquest of the former Galactic Alliance and its return to galactic-wide dominance, thanks in part to the fighting prowess of the elite Imperial stormtroopers, was a short-lived return to glory. Seven years after the Sith Lord Darth Krayt usurped the Imperial throne, Emperor Roan Fel resurfaced and captured Bastion by relying solely on the devotion of Imperial loyalists. [15] Among his strongest supporters in the military were the stormtroopers of the 501st Legion and the 908th Stormtrooper Division; [42] many other units continued to desert Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire as the Second Imperial Civil War escalated. With two Imperial sovereigns fighting each other for the throne, the galaxy was engulfed in turmoil as stormtrooper units were forced to take sides between the sitting regnant Darth Krayt and the deposed emperor Roan Fel.
