Shadow trooper

Shadow troopers were elite and highly trained stormtroopers that served the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War against the Rebel Alliance. They wore distinguishing black suits of experimental armor coupled with portable cloaking devices, rendering them almost completely invisible and highly suited for stealth missions. Shadow troopers overwhelmed their enemies by attacking in hordes, using various weaponry such as T-21 heavy blasters and flash grenades.

Description
Shadow troopers were highly trained, elite, and fanatically loyal stormtroopers that served the Galactic Empire and carried out its commands. They wore specialized, experimental stealth armor made from stygian-triprismatic polymer that enhanced the shadow troopers' stealth capability and allowed them to avoid sensors. The armor, similar in appearance to standard stormtrooper armor, was entirely black in color, with the exception of the white Imperial crest adorning the left chest.

Like standard stormtrooper helmets, the armored helmets worn by shadow troopers featured heat dispersion vents and blue-tinted exhaust filters located on each sides of the face. In the same manner, the shadow trooper helmets were equipped with a direct speaker placed between two induction filters on the chin section. The helmet's eye lenses and mouth area were gray in color.

Shadow troopers were equipped with portable cloaking devices that rendered them almost completely invisible as they moved around. Outfitted with a wide range of survival equipment, weapons in their arsenal included T-21 heavy blasters, flash grenades, E-11 blaster rifles, DLT-19 heavy blaster rifles, and jetpacks.

Shadow troopers' stealth equipment made them highly suitable for missions requiring cunning rather than brute force. They were able to appear out of thin air and surprise their enemies. With their T-21 heavy blasters capable of delivering massive damage at long ranges, and flash grenades capable of disorienting their enemies, these elite shock troops attacked in hordes to overwhelm their opponents.
