->'''Appear in:''' ''Litarature/LordsOfTheSith'' | ''Literature/ANewDawn'' | ''Ezra's Gamble'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' | ''[[Literature/StarWarsTarkin Tarkin]]'' | ''Film/RogueOne'' | ''Film/ANewHope'' | ''Literature/HeirToTheJedi'' | ''[[ComicBook/MarvelStarWars2015 Marvel's StarWars]]'' | ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' | ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' | ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]''

-->''"Stop that ship! Blast them!"''

Elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. These faceless enforcers are considered an extension of the Emperor's will, and thus use brutal tactics as a way to keep thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy in line.
----
* BribeBackfire: As shown in the ''Rebels'' short "Entanglement," it is ''not a good idea'' to try to bribe a Stormtrooper.
* ClothesMakeTheLegend: You won't have a ''Star Wars'' convention, or for that matter, ''any'' major sci-fi convention, without some guys showing up disguised in Stormtroopers uniforms surrounding a guy disguised as Vader.
* EliteMooks: More of an InformedAbility in the movies when fighting heroes with plot armor.
** Against generic rebel troopers (the ''Tantive IV'' boarding and the attack on Hoth), this tends to be an entirely different story - and the stormtroopers acquit themselves extremely well on the Death Star, where they were required to herd the Rebels back to their ship without making it obvious they were doing so.
** In the EU we learn about tons of even-more-elite troops, including Storm Commandos (Special Ops), Terror Troops (Psychological warfare), and Shadow Trooper. The Emperor's PraetorianGuard is also made of Stormtrooper elites.
* EnemyChatter: They're occasionally talking with each other when their superiors aren't looking. Most prominently the two by the tractor beam controls.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Downplayed. While the Empire is generally prejudiced against non-humans, there are women in the stormtrooper corps as revealed in ''A New Dawn''.
* FacelessGoons: Very few of them are seen without their helmets, with Finn being a notable exception.
* FakeUltimateMook: They are supposed to be the Empire's elite, yet are terrible shots and get defeated by Ewoks in ''Return of the Jedi''. However, in the old EU they were portrayed as much more of a threat, and ''Empire Strikes Back'' shows what they can do when they're ''not'' fighting people with PlotArmor.
** [[https://youtu.be/ulrZlv_Gezo?t=4m19s Pablo Hidalgo in Rebels Recon #1.09]] explains that trooper quality can vary quite dramatically. Elite units like the 501st make short work of rebels like they did on the Tantive IV, while more generic troopers like those on the Death Star did things like fail to hit Luke and Leia while they were in a precarious situation, walk into a partially closed door, and flee from Han when he charged at them while screaming like a lunatic, only turning around when they got a large number of reinforcements.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: The Phase II Dark Trooper. While ''Legends'' established the Dark Trooper Project as being droid stormtroopers, the Phase II seems to be regular soldiers with heavier armor and weapons.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: {{Trope Namer}}s, due to their inability to do more than graze the main characters after the opening of ''A New Hope''. Lampshaded in the ''Rebels'' short "Art Attack" when Sabine tells them they need more time on the practice range.
** ''A New Hope'' and even ''Empire Strikes Back'' involved Tarkin and Vader wishing to keep the heroes alive, demonstrating just how expendable the Empire considers Stormtroopers (sacrificing entire squads just to gain one long-term advantage). On Endor, where there were no such orders to keep them alive, both R2 and Leia are hit by blaster fire, even in thick underbrush. Outside of the firefight at the bunker where they're distracted by fighting the Rebels still there, they have the advantage in the woods right up until Chewbacca steals a walker and starts using it against them.
* LightIsNotGood[=/=]BrightIsNotGood: Don't be fooled by the shiny white armor.
* LoweredRecruitingStandards: After the Clone Wars, the elite clone troopers who had been trained since birth were phased out of service and the Empire used human conscripts to fill the ranks. This is often seen as the reason why the Stormtroopers pale in comparison to their predecessors.
* MascotMook: Stormtrooper armor is one of the most iconic designs in ''Star Wars'', and they show up constantly in the movies, the [=EU=], and in marketing materials. Even in the Legends continuity, where Stormtroopers are supposedly EliteMooks who actually make up only a small portion of Imperial infantry, they're absolutely ubiquitous while "Imperial Army troopers" are nowhere to be seen.
* MalevolentMaskedMen[=/=]WhiteMaskOfDoom: They're dressed in white armour and serves an evil empire. They can be mean and sadistic, but on the other hand, many of them are PunchClockVillains.
* {{Mooks}}: They are the Empire's main fighting force and tool of oppression.
* PunchClockVillain: Some of them. A Stormtrooper in the short story ''One Thousand Levels Down'' even offers his sympathy to Anandra Milon, a teenager of Alderaanian descent living on Coruscant after Alderaan was destroyed, for having to arrest her simply because of where her family is from.
* {{Retcon}}:
** In ''Star Wars Legends'', they were described as being repurposed Clone Troopers that eventually got other gene donors somewhere along the line after samples from Jango Fett ran out, along with conscripts hired along the way. As of ''Rebels'', the Clone Troopers were retired from combat with the conclusion of the Clone Wars, and Stormtroopers are now exclusively conscripts and volunteer forces. Interestingly enough, the original Expanded Universe explained that the Stormtroopers were conscripts up until ''Attack Of The Clones''.
*** Certain sources indicate that some clones were kept around, however. For instance, a member of the Imperial Royal Guard in ''Literature/LordsOfTheSith'' is revealed to be an aging Jango Fett clone.
* WeHaveReserves: Stormtroopers depend on their sheer numbers and fanatic devotion to the Emperor to overcome enemy troops.

-->''"Here they come."''

Spaceborne cousins of the Stormtroopers, these pilots fly the TIE-series of space superiority vehicles, including fighters, bombers, and interceptors.
----
* AcePilot: Only ten percent of TIE pilot applicants graduate, making them either the best starfighter pilots in the galaxy, or the luckiest.
* ArmoredCoffins: The pilots go into combat without deflector shields or even ejector seats [[note]]Or life support, for that matter. The TIE/fo fighters seen in The Force Awakens have both ejector seats and life support[[/note]]. They even nickname the [=TIEs=] suicide sleds to reflect this.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: The 181st Imperial Fighter Wing was considered the best TIE Fighter unit in the galaxy. They fought viciously at the Battle of Endor.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Like Stormtroopers, both men and women can serve as TIE pilots.
* EvilWearsBlack: In contrast to the white-armored Stormtroopers.
* FragileSpeedster: Although unshielded and unarmored, TIE fighters are quite nimble, and more than capable of outrunning their Rebel counterparts (except the A-Wing) in straight-line acceleration.
* InterServiceRivalry: The Army and Navy have their own respective TIE Fighter units, so naturally there's a lot of animosity between the two (Navy pilots tend to get all the glory, even though Army pilots have more skill). After the Battle of Yavin, all Army and Navy squadrons are merged.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The TIE Defender serves as a fighter-bomber, carrying a large complement of missiles and anti-fighter lasers.
* MookMobile: A squad of these fighters heading for you has the same image as a squad of Stormtroopers.
* SpaceFighter: The Sienar Fleet Systems TIE Fighter does not have hyperdrive, shields, or heavy armaments. It is built to be fast and cheap, able to smash enemy ships through sheer numbers.
* StukaScream: The very distinctive sound produced by the TIE engine definitely counts.
* WeHaveReserves: An embodiment of this principle in the Imperial Navy. The Empire emphasizes quantity over quality for their starfighter corps, using large squadrons of expendable fighters and pilots to overwhelm enemy ships. However, after the destruction of the Death Star, the Empire begins to put more emphasis on the quality of their fighters, upgrading squadrons to the improved TIE Interceptor and better training. This results in one of the elite units of the Starfighter Corps, the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing.

->'''Appear in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''[[note]]AT-AT Driver only[[/note]] | ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''[[note]]AT-ST Driver only[[/note]]

The Imperial Army's elite ground vehicle pilots, known to operate the AT-DP walker, speeder bike, AT-AT walker, AT-ST walker, and the Imperial Troop Transport. The AT-AT Drivers are usually seen being commanded by an Imperial officer, such as Agent Kallus in ''Rebels'' and General Veers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The lightly armored neck of the AT-AT is the only point vulnerable to blaster fire. The rest is too tough. For most other Walkers such as the AT-DP the weakest points are the leg joints.
* BadassDriver: AT-AT Drivers definitely qualify. Mostly subverted for the AT-ST Drivers as many of them are outwitted by Ewoks in ''Return of the Jedi''.
* ChickenWalker: [=AT-STs=] and their various derivatives/precursors. In fact, they are often called "Chicken Walkers" by fans.
* CompanionCube: Walker pilots were known to form strong attachments to their machines, often considering them as extensions of themselves.
* CoolHelmet: They wear variants of Stormtrooper helmets, except for AT-ST Drivers who wear maskless helmets.
* CurbStompBattle: Whenever [=AT-ATs=] are around, expect this to happen. An old Republic AT-TE piloted by veteran clone troopers didn't stand a chance, and neither did the Rebellion's Echo base on Hoth.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Combat drivers are generally cocky and abrasive, but AT-AT drivers considered themselves the elite amongst the elite.
* FacelessGoons: Except for AT-ST drivers whose helmets are maskless, though they sometimes wear large black goggles. It is established in some materials that the elevated height of [=AT-DPs=] and [=AT-ATs=] necessitates face protection.
* GiantFootOfStomping: The AT-AT Walkers.
* GlassCannon: The AT-ST Walker is powerful, but [[MadeOfExplodium it explodes]] if the cockpit falls to the ground.
* HumongousMecha: The AT-AT Walkers and to a lesser extent the AT-DP. The three [=AT-ATs=] that battled the old Republic AT-TE seemed to be even bigger variants.
* InterserviceRivalry: They are envied by their peers for their armored cockpits and powerful weapons.
* LightIsNotGood: AT-AT pilots wear white version of TIE pilot armor.
* MightyGlacier: The AT-AT isn't very fast, but they make up for their incredible firepower. However, it should also be noted that the walker is faster than it looks.
* MookMobile: They are more-or-less Stormtroopers who operate with ground vehicles.
* WalkingTank: The Walkers are probably the best-known examples of this trope.

!Joint Chiefs

[[folder:Cassio Tagge]]
!!Grand General Cassio Tagge
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tagge_sw_6820.png]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Don Henderson
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsTarkin Tarkin]]'' | ''Film/ANewHope'' | ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''

-->''"Until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped; they're more dangerous than you realize."''

A noble from Tepasi, Tagge was the Chief of the Imperial Army and a member of the Empire's Joint Chiefs. He briefly visited the first Death Star with his fellow Chiefs, and unlike his peers he considered the Rebel Alliance to be a possible, if unlikely, threat. Following the Death Star's destruction, Tagge was made the Emperor's chief enforcer, with even Darth Vader subservient to him.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Much like his ''Legends'' counterpart, Tagge is a critic of the Death Star and doesn't think highly of Darth Vader. However, this incarnation of Tagge is much less cautious and much more brazen in his dislike of the dark lord, using his superior position to belittle Vader whenever he gets the chance.
* BlueBlood: He is a member of a wealthy and very influential family who run [[MegaCorp TaggeCo]], a large corporation with business interests tied into the Empire's operations.
* BoringButPractical: He ''embraces'' this trope; making it abundantly clear that he thinks the Death Star was a stupid idea from the very beginning and that those resources should have been used to simply build more Star Destroyers. He also does this while insulting Tarkin's and Vader's love of spectacle and grandiose design. When Vader sees him at work, even the Sith Lord admits he is effective.
* BullyingADragon: Namely bullying his ''own'' dragon. So far in the comics he has gone out of his way to belittle Vader's importance in the grand scheme of things and seems to enjoy pulling rank on the Sith. However, whenever Vader completes a mission Tagge assigns him, he always compliments him on a job well done, showing respect for Vader's skill but not his position.
* CommanderContrarian: A rare villainous version who is completely correct in everything he says. He argues with Tarkin and Motti about the vulnerability of the Death Star. He is also highly skeptical of the Emperor's decision to dissolve the senate, wondering how he plans to maintain control without the established bureaucracy.
* CoolStarship: After the destruction of the Death Star, Tagge uses the Super Star Destroyer ''Annihilator'' as his flagship.
* DragonInChief: Tagge becomes the Empire's main military commander after the destruction of the first Death Star; partially because he was right about the Death Star's vulnerabilities and putting all the Empire's eggs in one basket and partially because he is the sole surviving member of the Joint Chiefs. Even ''Vader'' is made subservient to him.
-->'''Emperor Palpatine (to Vader):''' Tagge always argued against the arrogance of the Death Star as a sole weapon. He alone was properly aware of the Rebel threat. While the second Death Star is constructed his philosophy must be dominant. It was lucky he left the station before its destruction to return to his beloved fleet or I would have no one I could use. He is to assume primacy. You will act according to his will.
* {{Foil}}: He served as one to Tarkin (see TechnicianVersusPerformer below) and is increasingly becoming one to Vader by being an emotionally detached, pragmatic and competent strategist who is able to see the big picture which in contrast tends to highlight Vader's BloodKnight and NotSoStoic tendencies. He is also of average height and slightly pudgy and doesn't really stand out in a crowd which contrasts nicely with Vader and Tarkin's more iconic looks. And to drive the point home when Vader defended Tarkin, saying that he was a man with vision, Tagge coldly, and correctly, pointed out that Tarkin was pretty much responsible of the Empire's biggest defeat so far while he has been busy salvaging the situation in the Battle of Yavin's aftermath.
* OnlySaneMan: He argues that the Rebels could pose a serious threat if they get their hands on the Death Star plans.
* PunchClockVillain: By comparison to Vader, Tarkin and Motti. He never does or says anything evil during the meeting. He's just stating the situation like it is and questions odd decisions, like any competent military commander would. He's also visibly disturbed when Vader chokes Motti while the rest are just sitting there before Tarkin tells Vader to release him.
* RankUp: Following his ascension to the Empire's main military commander, Tagge is promoted to Grand General.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is spelled "Taggi" in the credits of ''A New Hope'', and "Tagge" everywhere else.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Originally in the old ''Legends'' continuity he was supposed to have died on-board the Death Star when it blew but in the new Disney canon, it's revealed he had already left the Death Star to return to his starfleet just before the battle and shows up alive in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''.
* TheStrategist: He is so far shown to be a very capable strategist and unlike some Imperial commanders, Tagge tends to keep a realistic assessment of his forces' strengths and weaknesses while at the same time he tends to avoid underestimating the enemy's capability.
* TheStoic: He is very big on not letting emotions cloud judgement. In fact, Tagge removes Vader from the hunt for the Rebel pilot that destroyed the Death Star on the grounds Vader is too emotionally involved in the subject (he is more right about that then he realizes).
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Technician to Tarkin's Performer. This fact is actually discussed between him and Vader.
-->'''Tagge:''' I look at the state of the Empire and ask myself "How many Super Star Destroyers could we have made with the resources we threw into Tarkin's Folly?" \\
'''Vader:''' Tarkin had vision. You have graphs. \\
'''Tagge:''' I have the graphs and the command. My plans may not be as glamorous or as grand as yours or the departed Tarkin but they ''work''.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He tends to view Vader as a simple thug and enforcer; albeit a pretty powerful one. Vader, however, is more intelligent and more cunning than Tagge gives him credit for.
* WeHaveReserves: Sums up his strategic philosophy in a nutshell.
-->'''Tagge:''' The Star-Fleet is a sea. It is endless and it cannot be beaten and given enough time turns even the strongest rocks into sand. Our larger plans cannot be based around any individual asset. Not a Death Star. Not ''you'', Vader.

-->''"These are my orders. If you refuse...I'll have to report it to the General. Please comply."''

A lieutenant aboard the Super Star Destroyer ''Annihilator'' and aide to Grand General Tagge.
----
* CharacterDeath: Executed by Darth Vader for being a "traitor" and then has his body dumped in front of the Grand General.
* FrameUp: Darth Vader plants evidence and that Oon-ai was in league with the pirates in order to get rid of his watchdog and embarrass Tagge.
* MookLieutenant: Grand General Tagge appoints him to serve as Vader's adjutant, in order to keep a close eye on the Sith Lord.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''

An Imperial military investigator who Grand General Tagge assigns as Vader's new adjutant after Oon-ai's demise.
----
* AffablyEvil: He is always very calm and quite polite, even while in the middle of interrogating a reluctant source.
* BadassMustache: Wears one worthy of Ambrose Burnside.
* DeadpanSnarker: He likes to add a bit of snark to his interrogations, and really lets it fly when belittling the Astarte twins.
-->'''Doowan:''' What are '''you''' doing back on Anthan?\\
'''Thanoth:''' I missed the social scene.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: He allows himself to be killed by Darth Vader after uncovering his plan to overthrow the Emperor. He says that Palpatine has proven himself too weak and incompetent to run the Empire, and is happy to offer up anything (even his own life) to see that he is replaced with a more worthy successor.]]
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle and looks rather intimidating with it.
* PragmaticVillainy: Values results and information over making any sort of grand spectacle, and so he leaves useful sources of information alive rather than make examples of them. Thanoth is thus infuriated when the Astarte twins execute one of his best sources of information in the sector in order to establish their reputation and intimidate the rest of the local criminal underworld.
* SherlockScan: [[spoiler: Determines that Vader had been to Anthan 13 simply by the ionization of surface dust that's still on Vader's armor]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Thanoth is likewise loyal to the Empire. [[spoiler: Key word being the ''Empire'', not the Emperor. Although Thanoth eventually uncovers Vader's true schemes, he simply tells Vader where to find the missing Aphra wishes ''Anakin'' luck, and accepts that Vader is going to kill him to leave no trail. He does this because he thinks Vader makes for a much more suitable ruler than the Emperor, as Thanoth blames the failure of the Death Star on his poor vision.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Vader comes to respect Thanoth's skills, and instead of arranging to dispose of him like he did Oon-ai, he simply manipulates him into calling off the search for Aphra to instead crush a Rebel unit that had been harassing Imperial forces in the area.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Richard [=LeParmentier=]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsTarkin Tarkin]]'' | ''Film/ANewHope''

-->''"This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it."''

An admiral and member of the Empire's Joint Chiefs of the military, Motti commanded the Star Destroyer ''Steel Talon''. An ally of Grand Moff Tarkin, Motti was a technocrat from Seswenna who believed in using advanced military technology to dominate the galaxy. He demonstrated overwhelming pride in the first Death Star, on which he served as Head of Naval Operations.
----
* AgentScully: He doesn't believe in the power of the Force, even though he is clearly old enough to remember the Jedi Order. This ties into his belief that technological marvels such as the Death Star were the main source of power in the Empire, not an outdated mystical order.
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Makes fun of a seven-foot-tall nightmare of a man who can strangle people with his mind, and gets just that inflicted upon him.
* FlatEarthAtheist: He [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu mocks Darth Vader]] for his "sad devotion to that ancient religion [the Jedi Order]", and calls the Force "sorcerer's ways". [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Vader decides to punish him for this]].
-->'''Darth Vader:''' [[LampshadeHanging I find your lack of faith disturbing.]]
* KarmicDeath: Like Tarkin, he had full confidence in the Death Star and dismissed the possibility of an attack posing any threat. He was standing on the overbridge with Tarkin when it was destroyed.
* NumberTwo: Serves as Tarkin's immediate subordinate in Death Star operations. For instance, Motti reports directly to Tarkin that the station is fully operational and then directly accepts the order to set course for Alderaan.
* SmugSnake: In ''Tarkin'', he is mentioned to have a air of perpetual sarcasm. Special mention goes to this guy for snidely insulting the power of the Force in comparison to the Death Star's technological firepower. He gets strangled for his trouble.
* TooDumbToLive: Openly mocking and insulting Darth Vader results in him being Force choked. Vader likely would have killed him for his idiocy had Tarkin not intervened.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Michael Pennington
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsTarkin Tarkin]]'' | ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''

-->''"We shall double our efforts."''

Hailing from Tinnel IV, Jerjerrod was the commanding officer of the second Death Star and a member of the Imperial military's Joint Chiefs. An architect and logistics officer, he was responsible for the construction of both Death Stars.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: His first name and homeworld were established in the reference guide ''Ultimate Star Wars''.
* BeleagueredBureaucrat: This is the most characterization he receives in the film, where he desperately tries to finish the Death Star II before the Emperor finds fault with him.
* BullyingADragon: Attempts this in a deleted scene, in which he smugly tells Vader that he may not enter the Emperor's Tower. However, once Vader begins to Force choke him, Jerjerrod clarifies that it's the Emperor's command, to which the Sith Lord agrees to wait.
* TheCameo: He appears in a non-speaking role at a meeting of the Empire's Joint Chiefs during ''Tarkin''.
* CommandingCoolness: Referred to as "Commander" in the film, despite being credited as a "Moff". His actual rank, given in ''Tarkin'', is Rear Admiral, although it's possible he got promoted by the time of ''Return of the Jedi''. Him being refered to as Commander was due to him being in charge of the second Death Star.
* MookLieutenant: The commander of the second Death Star. He is responsible for its construction and directs it during battle.
* OhCrap: His reaction to learning the Emperor is personally coming to oversee the Death Star's construction progress, knowing that the Emperor does not tolerate failure or slow progress very well.
* PunchClockVillain: He doesn't get any KickTheDog moments and just follows Vader and Palpatine's orders. This goes even further in the deleted scenes when Palpatine orders him to blow up Endor if the rebels manage to destroy the shield. He protests the decision since they have several forces on the moon, but reluctantly complies when ordered further. You can clearly see the regret on his face.
** The new novelization for ''Return of the Jedi'', ''Beware the Power of the Dark Side'', expands on Jerjerrod's character. It reveals that he was an architect in civilian life and believed that the Death Star would merely serve as a deterrent against rebellion, never having to fire its weapon.

A military officer of the Republic during the Clone Wars, Tenant became an Admiral in the Empire following the conclusion of the conflict and was later promoted to be one of the Imperial military's Joint Chiefs. He is a friend of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.

-->''"Stop that ship! Blast them!"''

Elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. These faceless enforcers are considered an extension of the Emperor's will, and thus use brutal tactics as a way to keep thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy in line.
----
* BribeBackfire: As shown in the ''Rebels'' short "Entanglement," it is ''not a good idea'' to try to bribe a Stormtrooper.
* ClothesMakeTheLegend: You won't have a ''Star Wars'' convention, or for that matter, ''any'' major sci-fi convention, without some guys showing up disguised in Stormtroopers uniforms surrounding a guy disguised as Vader.
* EliteMooks: More of an InformedAbility in the movies when fighting heroes with plot armor.
** Against generic rebel troopers (the ''Tantive IV'' boarding and the attack on Hoth), this tends to be an entirely different story - and the stormtroopers acquit themselves extremely well on the Death Star, where they were required to herd the Rebels back to their ship without making it obvious they were doing so.
** In the EU we learn about tons of even-more-elite troops, including Storm Commandos (Special Ops), Terror Troops (Psychological warfare), and Shadow Trooper. The Emperor's PraetorianGuard is also made of Stormtrooper elites.
* EnemyChatter: They're occasionally talking with each other when their superiors aren't looking. Most prominently the two by the tractor beam controls.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Downplayed. While the Empire is generally prejudiced against non-humans, there are women in the stormtrooper corps as revealed in ''A New Dawn''.
* FacelessGoons: Very few of them are seen without their helmets, with Finn being a notable exception.
* FakeUltimateMook: They are supposed to be the Empire's elite, yet are terrible shots and get defeated by Ewoks in ''Return of the Jedi''. However, in the old EU they were portrayed as much more of a threat, and ''Empire Strikes Back'' shows what they can do when they're ''not'' fighting people with PlotArmor.
** [[https://youtu.be/ulrZlv_Gezo?t=4m19s Pablo Hidalgo in Rebels Recon #1.09]] explains that trooper quality can vary quite dramatically. Elite units like the 501st make short work of rebels like they did on the Tantive IV, while more generic troopers like those on the Death Star did things like fail to hit Luke and Leia while they were in a precarious situation, walk into a partially closed door, and flee from Han when he charged at them while screaming like a lunatic, only turning around when they got a large number of reinforcements.
* HeavilyArmoredMook: The Phase II Dark Trooper. While ''Legends'' established the Dark Trooper Project as being droid stormtroopers, the Phase II seems to be regular soldiers with heavier armor and weapons.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: {{Trope Namer}}s, due to their inability to do more than graze the main characters after the opening of ''A New Hope''. Lampshaded in the ''Rebels'' short "Art Attack" when Sabine tells them they need more time on the practice range.
** ''A New Hope'' and even ''Empire Strikes Back'' involved Tarkin and Vader wishing to keep the heroes alive, demonstrating just how expendable the Empire considers Stormtroopers (sacrificing entire squads just to gain one long-term advantage). On Endor, where there were no such orders to keep them alive, both R2 and Leia are hit by blaster fire, even in thick underbrush. Outside of the firefight at the bunker where they're distracted by fighting the Rebels still there, they have the advantage in the woods right up until Chewbacca steals a walker and starts using it against them.
* LightIsNotGood[=/=]BrightIsNotGood: Don't be fooled by the shiny white armor.
* LoweredRecruitingStandards: After the Clone Wars, the elite clone troopers who had been trained since birth were phased out of service and the Empire used human conscripts to fill the ranks. This is often seen as the reason why the Stormtroopers pale in comparison to their predecessors.
* MascotMook: Stormtrooper armor is one of the most iconic designs in ''Star Wars'', and they show up constantly in the movies, the [=EU=], and in marketing materials. Even in the Legends continuity, where Stormtroopers are supposedly EliteMooks who actually make up only a small portion of Imperial infantry, they're absolutely ubiquitous while "Imperial Army troopers" are nowhere to be seen.
* MalevolentMaskedMen[=/=]WhiteMaskOfDoom: They're dressed in white armour and serves an evil empire. They can be mean and sadistic, but on the other hand, many of them are PunchClockVillains.
* {{Mooks}}: They are the Empire's main fighting force and tool of oppression.
* PunchClockVillain: Some of them. A Stormtrooper in the short story ''One Thousand Levels Down'' even offers his sympathy to Anandra Milon, a teenager of Alderaanian descent living on Coruscant after Alderaan was destroyed, for having to arrest her simply because of where her family is from.
* {{Retcon}}:
** In ''Star Wars Legends'', they were described as being repurposed Clone Troopers that eventually got other gene donors somewhere along the line after samples from Jango Fett ran out, along with conscripts hired along the way. As of ''Rebels'', the Clone Troopers were retired from combat with the conclusion of the Clone Wars, and Stormtroopers are now exclusively conscripts and volunteer forces. Interestingly enough, the original Expanded Universe explained that the Stormtroopers were conscripts up until ''Attack Of The Clones''.
*** Certain sources indicate that some clones were kept around, however. For instance, a member of the Imperial Royal Guard in ''Literature/LordsOfTheSith'' is revealed to be an aging Jango Fett clone.
* WeHaveReserves: Stormtroopers depend on their sheer numbers and fanatic devotion to the Emperor to overcome enemy troops.

-->''"Here they come."''

Spaceborne cousins of the Stormtroopers, these pilots fly the TIE-series of space superiority vehicles, including fighters, bombers, and interceptors.
----
* AcePilot: Only ten percent of TIE pilot applicants graduate, making them either the best starfighter pilots in the galaxy, or the luckiest.
* ArmoredCoffins: The pilots go into combat without deflector shields or even ejector seats [[note]]Or life support, for that matter. The TIE/fo fighters seen in The Force Awakens have both ejector seats and life support[[/note]]. They even nickname the [=TIEs=] suicide sleds to reflect this.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: The 181st Imperial Fighter Wing was considered the best TIE Fighter unit in the galaxy. They fought viciously at the Battle of Endor.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Like Stormtroopers, both men and women can serve as TIE pilots.
* EvilWearsBlack: In contrast to the white-armored Stormtroopers.
* FragileSpeedster: Although unshielded and unarmored, TIE fighters are quite nimble, and more than capable of outrunning their Rebel counterparts (except the A-Wing) in straight-line acceleration.
* InterServiceRivalry: The Army and Navy have their own respective TIE Fighter units, so naturally there's a lot of animosity between the two (Navy pilots tend to get all the glory, even though Army pilots have more skill). After the Battle of Yavin, all Army and Navy squadrons are merged.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The TIE Defender serves as a fighter-bomber, carrying a large complement of missiles and anti-fighter lasers.
* MookMobile: A squad of these fighters heading for you has the same image as a squad of Stormtroopers.
* SpaceFighter: The Sienar Fleet Systems TIE Fighter does not have hyperdrive, shields, or heavy armaments. It is built to be fast and cheap, able to smash enemy ships through sheer numbers.
* StukaScream: The very distinctive sound produced by the TIE engine definitely counts.
* WeHaveReserves: An embodiment of this principle in the Imperial Navy. The Empire emphasizes quantity over quality for their starfighter corps, using large squadrons of expendable fighters and pilots to overwhelm enemy ships. However, after the destruction of the Death Star, the Empire begins to put more emphasis on the quality of their fighters, upgrading squadrons to the improved TIE Interceptor and better training. This results in one of the elite units of the Starfighter Corps, the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing.

->'''Appear in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''[[note]]AT-AT Driver only[[/note]] | ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''[[note]]AT-ST Driver only[[/note]]

The Imperial Army's elite ground vehicle pilots, known to operate the AT-DP walker, speeder bike, AT-AT walker, AT-ST walker, and the Imperial Troop Transport. The AT-AT Drivers are usually seen being commanded by an Imperial officer, such as Agent Kallus in ''Rebels'' and General Veers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The lightly armored neck of the AT-AT is the only point vulnerable to blaster fire. The rest is too tough. For most other Walkers such as the AT-DP the weakest points are the leg joints.
* BadassDriver: AT-AT Drivers definitely qualify. Mostly subverted for the AT-ST Drivers as many of them are outwitted by Ewoks in ''Return of the Jedi''.
* ChickenWalker: [=AT-STs=] and their various derivatives/precursors. In fact, they are often called "Chicken Walkers" by fans.
* CompanionCube: Walker pilots were known to form strong attachments to their machines, often considering them as extensions of themselves.
* CoolHelmet: They wear variants of Stormtrooper helmets, except for AT-ST Drivers who wear maskless helmets.
* CurbStompBattle: Whenever [=AT-ATs=] are around, expect this to happen. An old Republic AT-TE piloted by veteran clone troopers didn't stand a chance, and neither did the Rebellion's Echo base on Hoth.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Combat drivers are generally cocky and abrasive, but AT-AT drivers considered themselves the elite amongst the elite.
* FacelessGoons: Except for AT-ST drivers whose helmets are maskless, though they sometimes wear large black goggles. It is established in some materials that the elevated height of [=AT-DPs=] and [=AT-ATs=] necessitates face protection.
* GiantFootOfStomping: The AT-AT Walkers.
* GlassCannon: The AT-ST Walker is powerful, but [[MadeOfExplodium it explodes]] if the cockpit falls to the ground.
* HumongousMecha: The AT-AT Walkers and to a lesser extent the AT-DP. The three [=AT-ATs=] that battled the old Republic AT-TE seemed to be even bigger variants.
* InterserviceRivalry: They are envied by their peers for their armored cockpits and powerful weapons.
* LightIsNotGood: AT-AT pilots wear white version of TIE pilot armor.
* MightyGlacier: The AT-AT isn't very fast, but they make up for their incredible firepower. However, it should also be noted that the walker is faster than it looks.
* MookMobile: They are more-or-less Stormtroopers who operate with ground vehicles.
* WalkingTank: The Walkers are probably the best-known examples of this trope.

[[folder:Cassio Tagge]]
!!Grand General Cassio Tagge
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tagge_sw_6820.png]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Don Henderson
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsTarkin Tarkin]]'' | ''Film/ANewHope'' | ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''

-->''"Until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped; they're more dangerous than you realize."''

A noble from Tepasi, Tagge was the Chief of the Imperial Army and a member of the Empire's Joint Chiefs. He briefly visited the first Death Star with his fellow Chiefs, and unlike his peers he considered the Rebel Alliance to be a possible, if unlikely, threat. Following the Death Star's destruction, Tagge was made the Emperor's chief enforcer, with even Darth Vader subservient to him.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Much like his ''Legends'' counterpart, Tagge is a critic of the Death Star and doesn't think highly of Darth Vader. However, this incarnation of Tagge is much less cautious and much more brazen in his dislike of the dark lord, using his superior position to belittle Vader whenever he gets the chance.
* BlueBlood: He is a member of a wealthy and very influential family who run [[MegaCorp TaggeCo]], a large corporation with business interests tied into the Empire's operations.
* BoringButPractical: He ''embraces'' this trope; making it abundantly clear that he thinks the Death Star was a stupid idea from the very beginning and that those resources should have been used to simply build more Star Destroyers. He also does this while insulting Tarkin's and Vader's love of spectacle and grandiose design. When Vader sees him at work, even the Sith Lord admits he is effective.
* BullyingADragon: Namely bullying his ''own'' dragon. So far in the comics he has gone out of his way to belittle Vader's importance in the grand scheme of things and seems to enjoy pulling rank on the Sith. However, whenever Vader completes a mission Tagge assigns him, he always compliments him on a job well done, showing respect for Vader's skill but not his position.
* CommanderContrarian: A rare villainous version who is completely correct in everything he says. He argues with Tarkin and Motti about the vulnerability of the Death Star. He is also highly skeptical of the Emperor's decision to dissolve the senate, wondering how he plans to maintain control without the established bureaucracy.
* CoolStarship: After the destruction of the Death Star, Tagge uses the Super Star Destroyer ''Annihilator'' as his flagship.
* DragonInChief: Tagge becomes the Empire's main military commander after the destruction of the first Death Star; partially because he was right about the Death Star's vulnerabilities and putting all the Empire's eggs in one basket and partially because he is the sole surviving member of the Joint Chiefs. Even ''Vader'' is made subservient to him.
-->'''Emperor Palpatine (to Vader):''' Tagge always argued against the arrogance of the Death Star as a sole weapon. He alone was properly aware of the Rebel threat. While the second Death Star is constructed his philosophy must be dominant. It was lucky he left the station before its destruction to return to his beloved fleet or I would have no one I could use. He is to assume primacy. You will act according to his will.
* {{Foil}}: He served as one to Tarkin (see TechnicianVersusPerformer below) and is increasingly becoming one to Vader by being an emotionally detached, pragmatic and competent strategist who is able to see the big picture which in contrast tends to highlight Vader's BloodKnight and NotSoStoic tendencies. He is also of average height and slightly pudgy and doesn't really stand out in a crowd which contrasts nicely with Vader and Tarkin's more iconic looks. And to drive the point home when Vader defended Tarkin, saying that he was a man with vision, Tagge coldly, and correctly, pointed out that Tarkin was pretty much responsible of the Empire's biggest defeat so far while he has been busy salvaging the situation in the Battle of Yavin's aftermath.
* OnlySaneMan: He argues that the Rebels could pose a serious threat if they get their hands on the Death Star plans.
* PunchClockVillain: By comparison to Vader, Tarkin and Motti. He never does or says anything evil during the meeting. He's just stating the situation like it is and questions odd decisions, like any competent military commander would. He's also visibly disturbed when Vader chokes Motti while the rest are just sitting there before Tarkin tells Vader to release him.
* RankUp: Following his ascension to the Empire's main military commander, Tagge is promoted to Grand General.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is spelled "Taggi" in the credits of ''A New Hope'', and "Tagge" everywhere else.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Originally in the old ''Legends'' continuity he was supposed to have died on-board the Death Star when it blew but in the new Disney canon, it's revealed he had already left the Death Star to return to his starfleet just before the battle and shows up alive in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''.
* TheStrategist: He is so far shown to be a very capable strategist and unlike some Imperial commanders, Tagge tends to keep a realistic assessment of his forces' strengths and weaknesses while at the same time he tends to avoid underestimating the enemy's capability.
* TheStoic: He is very big on not letting emotions cloud judgement. In fact, Tagge removes Vader from the hunt for the Rebel pilot that destroyed the Death Star on the grounds Vader is too emotionally involved in the subject (he is more right about that then he realizes).
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Technician to Tarkin's Performer. This fact is actually discussed between him and Vader.
-->'''Tagge:''' I look at the state of the Empire and ask myself "How many Super Star Destroyers could we have made with the resources we threw into Tarkin's Folly?" \\
'''Vader:''' Tarkin had vision. You have graphs. \\
'''Tagge:''' I have the graphs and the command. My plans may not be as glamorous or as grand as yours or the departed Tarkin but they ''work''.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He tends to view Vader as a simple thug and enforcer; albeit a pretty powerful one. Vader, however, is more intelligent and more cunning than Tagge gives him credit for.
* WeHaveReserves: Sums up his strategic philosophy in a nutshell.
-->'''Tagge:''' The Star-Fleet is a sea. It is endless and it cannot be beaten and given enough time turns even the strongest rocks into sand. Our larger plans cannot be based around any individual asset. Not a Death Star. Not ''you'', Vader.

An Imperial military investigator who Grand General Tagge assigns as Vader's new adjutant after Oon-ai's demise.
----
* AffablyEvil: He is always very calm and quite polite, even while in the middle of interrogating a reluctant source.
* BadassMustache: Wears one worthy of Ambrose Burnside.
* DeadpanSnarker: He likes to add a bit of snark to his interrogations, and really lets it fly when belittling the Astarte twins.
-->'''Doowan:''' What are '''you''' doing back on Anthan?\\
'''Thanoth:''' I missed the social scene.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: He allows himself to be killed by Darth Vader after uncovering his plan to overthrow the Emperor. He says that Palpatine has proven himself too weak and incompetent to run the Empire, and is happy to offer up anything (even his own life) to see that he is replaced with a more worthy successor.]]
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle and looks rather intimidating with it.
* PragmaticVillainy: Values results and information over making any sort of grand spectacle, and so he leaves useful sources of information alive rather than make examples of them. Thanoth is thus infuriated when the Astarte twins execute one of his best sources of information in the sector in order to establish their reputation and intimidate the rest of the local criminal underworld.
* SherlockScan: [[spoiler: Determines that Vader had been to Anthan 13 simply by the ionization of surface dust that's still on Vader's armor]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Thanoth is likewise loyal to the Empire. [[spoiler: Key word being the ''Empire'', not the Emperor. Although Thanoth eventually uncovers Vader's true schemes, he simply tells Vader where to find the missing Aphra wishes ''Anakin'' luck, and accepts that Vader is going to kill him to leave no trail. He does this because he thinks Vader makes for a much more suitable ruler than the Emperor, as Thanoth blames the failure of the Death Star on his poor vision.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Vader comes to respect Thanoth's skills, and instead of arranging to dispose of him like he did Oon-ai, he simply manipulates him into calling off the search for Aphra to instead crush a Rebel unit that had been harassing Imperial forces in the area.

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsTarkin Tarkin]]'' | ''Film/ANewHope''

-->''"This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it."''

An admiral and member of the Empire's Joint Chiefs of the military, Motti commanded the Star Destroyer ''Steel Talon''. An ally of Grand Moff Tarkin, Motti was a technocrat from Seswenna who believed in using advanced military technology to dominate the galaxy. He demonstrated overwhelming pride in the first Death Star, on which he served as Head of Naval Operations.
----
* AgentScully: He doesn't believe in the power of the Force, even though he is clearly old enough to remember the Jedi Order. This ties into his belief that technological marvels such as the Death Star were the main source of power in the Empire, not an outdated mystical order.
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Makes fun of a seven-foot-tall nightmare of a man who can strangle people with his mind, and gets just that inflicted upon him.
* FlatEarthAtheist: He [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu mocks Darth Vader]] for his "sad devotion to that ancient religion [the Jedi Order]", and calls the Force "sorcerer's ways". [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Vader decides to punish him for this]].
-->'''Darth Vader:''' [[LampshadeHanging I find your lack of faith disturbing.]]
* KarmicDeath: Like Tarkin, he had full confidence in the Death Star and dismissed the possibility of an attack posing any threat. He was standing on the overbridge with Tarkin when it was destroyed.
* NumberTwo: Serves as Tarkin's immediate subordinate in Death Star operations. For instance, Motti reports directly to Tarkin that the station is fully operational and then directly accepts the order to set course for Alderaan.
* SmugSnake: In ''Tarkin'', he is mentioned to have a air of perpetual sarcasm. Special mention goes to this guy for snidely insulting the power of the Force in comparison to the Death Star's technological firepower. He gets strangled for his trouble.
* TooDumbToLive: Openly mocking and insulting Darth Vader results in him being Force choked. Vader likely would have killed him for his idiocy had Tarkin not intervened.

-->''"We shall double our efforts."''

Hailing from Tinnel IV, Jerjerrod was the commanding officer of the second Death Star and a member of the Imperial military's Joint Chiefs. An architect and logistics officer, he was responsible for the construction of both Death Stars.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: His first name and homeworld were established in the reference guide ''Ultimate Star Wars''.
* BeleagueredBureaucrat: This is the most characterization he receives in the film, where he desperately tries to finish the Death Star II before the Emperor finds fault with him.
* BullyingADragon: Attempts this in a deleted scene, in which he smugly tells Vader that he may not enter the Emperor's Tower. However, once Vader begins to Force choke him, Jerjerrod clarifies that it's the Emperor's command, to which the Sith Lord agrees to wait.
* TheCameo: He appears in a non-speaking role at a meeting of the Empire's Joint Chiefs during ''Tarkin''.
* CommandingCoolness: Referred to as "Commander" in the film, despite being credited as a "Moff". His actual rank, given in ''Tarkin'', is Rear Admiral, although it's possible he got promoted by the time of ''Return of the Jedi''. Him being refered to as Commander was due to him being in charge of the second Death Star.
* MookLieutenant: The commander of the second Death Star. He is responsible for its construction and directs it during battle.
* OhCrap: His reaction to learning the Emperor is personally coming to oversee the Death Star's construction progress, knowing that the Emperor does not tolerate failure or slow progress very well.
* PunchClockVillain: He doesn't get any KickTheDog moments and just follows Vader and Palpatine's orders. This goes even further in the deleted scenes when Palpatine orders him to blow up Endor if the rebels manage to destroy the shield. He protests the decision since they have several forces on the moon, but reluctantly complies when ordered further. You can clearly see the regret on his face.
** The new novelization for ''Return of the Jedi'', ''Beware the Power of the Dark Side'', expands on Jerjerrod's character. It reveals that he was an architect in civilian life and believed that the Death Star would merely serve as a deterrent against rebellion, never having to fire its weapon.

* InsistentTerminology: She refers to her conscripted Twi'leks as ''servants'' not ''slaves''.

-->''"Putting so much time, and money, and effort, and people into the ecosystem of that massive battle station was a fool's crusade. Palpatine was arrogant."''

A legendary Imperial general and strategist, General Shale commands the Star Destroyer ''Ascent''. A few months following the Battle of Endor, Shale is among the high-ranking Imperials who gather at the conference on Akiva.
----
* DeterminedDefeatist: Despite her belief that the Empire has probably lost the war, Shale joins the other Imperials on Akiva in order to try and find some potential solution to bring it back from the brink.
* GenreSavvy: She is well aware of the Empire and the Rebellion's role in the story of the galaxy.
-->'''Shale:''' This isn't some kind of ''inspirational story''. Some scrappy, ragtag underdog tale, some pugilistic match where we're the goodhearted gladiator who brings down the oppressive regime that put him in the arena. ''They'' get to have that narrative. ''We'' are the ones who enslaved whole worlds full of alien inhabitants. ''We'' are the ones who built something called a ''Death'' Star under the leadership of a decrepit old goblin who believed in the 'darkside' of some ancient, insane religion.
* IgnoredExpert: She opposed the creation of the Death Stars, viewing them as excessive and costly creations that put too many high-ranking officers at risk if they were to be destroyed. Due to this, Shale was shunted aside during the last years of the Emperor's reign, even though her fears proved correct.
* InsistentTerminology: Among the Imperials who gather on Akiva, Shale is the only one who calls the Rebels the New Republic, acknowledging their victory over the Empire.
* LivingLegend: She is highly respected throughout the Imperial military.
* OnlySaneWoman: Among those gathered on Akiva, Shale is the only one who acknowledges that the war might truly be lost and that there is likely little hope of even forging a peace treaty with the New Republic. She even suggests that they might be spared if they surrender to the New Republic instead.
* WorthyOpponent: She considers Admiral Ackbar one, warning her fellow Imperials that he is a master strategist who should never be underestimated.

* MookLieutenant: Commands Darth Vader's personal guard on Murkhana.
* RankUp: He starts out the story as a sergeant, and while he commits a couple of flubs early in the mission, [[YouHaveFailedMe nearly invoking the wrath of Darth Vader]], he's able to redeem himself and ends the story as a lieutenant.
* RapidAging: Due to being a clone, he still suffers from rapid aging, and has to be at least somewhere in his forties during the timespan of ''Tarkin''. Vader even wonders if perhaps this is affecting his skills or reaction time after he scrapes the Sith Lord's mediation chamber while loading it aboard the ''Carrion Spike''.
-->'''Darth Vader:''' Excuses won't suffice, Sergeant Crest, perhaps you are aging too quickly to remain on active duty.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Vader says this to him ''verbatim'' after he lets the ''Carrion Spike'' get stolen.

Among one of the cadets bound to the Imvur system until a schematics failure resulted in crashing their ship's systems, stranding them in space until the Ghost rebel cell comes across their S.O.S. After receiving words of wisdom from the like-aged Ezra, she defected and helped stop her fellow cadets from taking over the ''Ghost''.
----
* FirstNameBasis: Has no problem with going by her first name with her classmates and the rebel crew.
* HeelFaceTurn: While it doesn't get expanded on within the comic, we do get a line from her that she's seen the Empire do things she doesn't agree with, but was unsure about what to do next, since unlike other defectors we've seen so far in ''Rebels'' and the other comic strips, [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow she worries about what will happen after she defects,]] [[AdultFear like what will happen to her family.]] Her classmates staging a coup against the crew and Ezra's encouragement are the final push to her defection.
* NiceGirl: Shows no hostility or unease towards the crew, even offering her help in them repairing her ship, as well as being the only cadet against the coup.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Her artist drew her with the likeness of Snow White.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Since she's the NiceGirl, the other cadets let her hold the reins, while Jeken, the other predominant cadet, is rather condescending and an opportunist.

Among one of the cadets bound to the Imvur system until a schematics failure resulted in crashing their ship's systems, stranding them in space until the Ghost rebel cell comes across their S.O.S. After the cadets are let on board, Jeken persuades his fellow classmates to use the opportunity to capture this highly-wanted rebel cell, but thanks to defecting cadet Reann's intervention, the attempt fails, but they are sent on their way back to the Empire.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: Knowing it could get them commended, Jeken persuades the others that this is the best option.
* {{Expy}}: Of Oleg. Both are condescending, [[ItsAllAboutMe self-serving]] [[{{Jerkass}} jerks]] that serve as the TokenEvilTeammate in their unit, in opposition to the TokenGoodTeammate that also receives equal attention (Oleg and Ezra, Jeken and Reann).
* FantasticRacism: Believes that Stormtroopers are more superior than clones, a fact that he tries to rub into Rex's face.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: How the story would've gone if Reann didn't save the day. Considering how meek the other cadets were and how Reann immediately took up the [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure leadership position]], the situation could've gone a lot better had Jeken not been there, though the Empire probably wouldn't think the same if they found out a rebel cell on their most wanted list could've been caught using that opportunity as a TrojanHorse, than say, some passing trader ship.
* LastNameBasis: Konstantine refers to him at the end as 'Cadet Jeken', meaning that it's his last name.
* SmugSnake: As aforementioned, he smugly states to Rex that Stormtroopers are better than clones, and later, while he may have failed at capturing the crew thanks to Reann, he and the others get commended by Konstantine for their efforts and courage as well for Jeken in the line of duty, something he's more than glad to hear.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Since everyone else minus [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Reann]] is a BumblingSidekick, they go ahead with his plan to betray the crew.
* UngratefulBastard: He persuades the other cadets into betraying the crew for [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]], even though the alternative of them not getting saved would've meant death or worse. Also, considering his face at the beginning of the comic, it looks like a ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike type of facial response.

The backbone A noble from Tepasi, Tagge was the Chief of the Imperial Navy, these technicians man Army and a member of the consoles which control Empire's Joint Chiefs. He briefly visited the vast starships.first Death Star with his fellow Chiefs, and unlike his peers he considered the Rebel Alliance to be a possible, if unlikely, threat. Following the Death Star's destruction, Tagge was made the Emperor's chief enforcer, with even Darth Vader subservient to him.

* PunchClockVillain: Most of them. They look visibly afraid when Darth Vader strolls along the deck.

to:

* TheBridge: A AdaptationPersonalityChange: Much like his ''Legends'' counterpart, Tagge is a critic of the Death Star Destroyer's bridge has and doesn't think highly of Darth Vader. However, this incarnation of Tagge is much less cautious and much more brazen in his dislike of the crewers working in sunken pits dark lord, using his superior position to belittle Vader whenever he gets the chance.
* BlueBlood: He is a member of a wealthy and very influential family who run [[MegaCorp TaggeCo]], a large corporation with business interests tied into the Empire's operations.
* BoringButPractical: He ''embraces'' this trope; making it abundantly clear that he thinks the Death Star was a stupid idea from the very beginning and that those resources should have been used to simply build more Star Destroyers. He also does this
while insulting Tarkin's and Vader's love of spectacle and grandiose design. When Vader sees him at work, even the officers stand over them, indicating a sharp contrast Sith Lord admits he is effective.
* BullyingADragon: Namely bullying his ''own'' dragon. So far
in the Imperial hierarchy.comics he has gone out of his way to belittle Vader's importance in the grand scheme of things and seems to enjoy pulling rank on the Sith. However, whenever Vader completes a mission Tagge assigns him, he always compliments him on a job well done, showing respect for Vader's skill but not his position.
* CommanderContrarian: A rare villainous version who is completely correct in everything he says. He argues with Tarkin and Motti about the vulnerability of the Death Star. He is also highly skeptical of the Emperor's decision to dissolve the senate, wondering how he plans to maintain control without the established bureaucracy.
* CoolStarship: After the destruction of the Death Star, Tagge uses the Super Star Destroyer ''Annihilator'' as his flagship.
* DragonInChief: Tagge becomes the Empire's main military commander after the destruction of the first Death Star; partially because he was right about the Death Star's vulnerabilities and putting all the Empire's eggs in one basket and partially because he is the sole surviving member of the Joint Chiefs. Even ''Vader'' is made subservient to him.
-->'''Emperor Palpatine (to Vader):''' Tagge always argued against the arrogance of the Death Star as a sole weapon. He alone was properly aware of the Rebel threat. While the second Death Star is constructed his philosophy must be dominant. It was lucky he left the station before its destruction to return to his beloved fleet or I would have no one I could use. He is to assume primacy. You will act according to his will.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Enlisted crew wear light grey jumpsuits, {{Foil}}: He served as one to Tarkin (see TechnicianVersusPerformer below) and is increasingly becoming one to Vader by being an emotionally detached, pragmatic and competent strategist who is able to see the big picture which in contrast tends to highlight Vader's BloodKnight and NotSoStoic tendencies. He is also of average height and slightly pudgy and doesn't really stand out in a crowd which contrasts nicely with Vader and Tarkin's more iconic looks. And to drive the point home when Vader defended Tarkin, saying that he was a man with vision, Tagge coldly, and correctly, pointed out that Tarkin was pretty much responsible of the Empire's biggest defeat so far while officers wear olive grey tunics he has been busy salvaging the situation in the Battle of Yavin's aftermath.
* OnlySaneMan: He argues that the Rebels could pose a serious threat if they get their hands on the Death Star plans.
* PunchClockVillain: By comparison to Vader, Tarkin
and [=NCOs=] wear black.Motti. He never does or says anything evil during the meeting. He's just stating the situation like it is and questions odd decisions, like any competent military commander would. He's also visibly disturbed when Vader chokes Motti while the rest are just sitting there before Tarkin tells Vader to release him.
* RankUp: Following his ascension to the Empire's main military commander, Tagge is promoted to Grand General.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is spelled "Taggi" in the credits of ''A New Hope'', and "Tagge" everywhere else.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Originally in the old ''Legends'' continuity he was supposed to have died on-board the Death Star when it blew but in the new Disney canon, it's revealed he had already left the Death Star to return to his starfleet just before the battle and shows up alive in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]''.
* TheStrategist: He is so far shown to be a very capable strategist and unlike some Imperial commanders, Tagge tends to keep a realistic assessment of his forces' strengths and weaknesses while at the same time he tends to avoid underestimating the enemy's capability.

* EvilMinions: They perform these functions admirably.
* FacelessGoons: Not
TheStoic: He is very big on not letting emotions cloud judgement. In fact, Tagge removes Vader from the hunt for the Rebel pilot that destroyed the Death Star on the grounds Vader is too emotionally involved in the films, subject (he is more right about that then he realizes).
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Technician to Tarkin's Performer. This fact is actually discussed between him and Vader.
-->'''Tagge:''' I look at the state of the Empire and ask myself "How many Super Star Destroyers could we have made with the resources we threw into Tarkin's Folly?" \\

* GhostExtras: UnderestimatingBadassery: He tends to view Vader as a simple thug and enforcer; albeit a pretty powerful one. Vader, however, is more intelligent and more cunning than Tagge gives him credit for.

* CommanderContrarian: A rare villainous version who is completely correct in everything he says. He argues with Tarkin and Motti about the vulnerability of the Death Star.

* DrowningMySorrows: Although everyone in the squad (with the exception of Chellaine) are doing this, Hastur seems to be the most focused on just drinking away the memories of their last mission instead of starting a bar fight or trying to get philosophical.

* RapidAging: Due to being a clone, he still suffers from rapid aging, and has to be at least somewhere in his forties during the timespan of ''Tarkin''.

* AcePilot: She is one of the best [=TIE=] pilots to ever graduate from the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, and even after becoming a commander and officer aboard the ''Executor'' she is still sent on missions due to her skills.
* BreakTheCutie: By the Battle of Endor, she is a jaded cynic and her early idealism is completely destroyed.

* FateWorseThanDeath: She starts to consider Imperial service this as well as a IronicHell due to how evil they've become. Her code of honor prevents her from ever stopping serving it.
* FriendlyEnemy: What Ciena and Thane morph into.
* HeelRealization: After having already started to become uneasy with the Empire, Ciena begins to understand how truly evil it is when her mother is framed by an Imperial official for corruption to cover up his own illicit doings and Ree gets a promotion for claiming to agree with her mother's sentence. Her realization that the Empire is not what she thought it was is cemented upon seeing the second Death Star.
* HonorBeforeReason: The valley culture of Jelucan places a massive emphasis on never violating an oath, even if it may be morally wrong not to do so. This belief is ingrained into Ciena, so even after she realizes the Empire is evil she continues to serve it as best she can, even though she is utterly miserable doing so.

* OddFriendship: With Thane due to their different and opposed cultures. The fact that it grows into a romance that continues even after Thane joins the Rebellion only increases how odd it is.
* RankUp: She is promoted several times throughout her career. The first is from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander alongside a transfer from the ''Devastator'' to the ''Executer'', due to the need for new competent officers in the wake of the Death Star's destruction. Ciena's next promotion to Commander occurs shortly before the Battle of Endor after several years of exemplary service and passing a loyalty test. Lastly, she is promoted in the wake of Endor to captain and given command of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''.

* GenreSavvy: She is well aware of the Empire and the Rebellion's role in the story of the galaxy.

''We'' are the ones who built something called a ''Death'' Star under the leadership of a decrepit old goblin who believed in the 'darkside' of some ancient, insane religion.
* IgnoredExpert: She opposed the creation of the Death Stars, viewing them as excessive and costly creations that put too many high-ranking officers at risk if they were to be destroyed. Due to this, Shale was shunted aside during the last years of the Emperor's reign, even though her fears proved correct.

----
* FirstNameBasis: Has no problem with going by her first name with her classmates and the rebel crew.
* HeelFaceTurn: While it doesn't get expanded on within the comic, we do get a line from her that she's seen the Empire do things she doesn't agree with, but was unsure about what to do next, since unlike other defectors we've seen so far in ''Rebels'' and the other comic strips, [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow she worries about what will happen after she defects,]] [[AdultFear like what will happen to her family.]] Her classmates staging a coup against the crew and Ezra's encouragement are the final push to her defection.

----
* AmbitionIsEvil: Knowing it could get them commended, Jeken persuades the others that this is the best option.
* {{Expy}}: Of Oleg. Both are condescending, [[ItsAllAboutMe self-serving]] [[{{Jerkass}} jerks]] that serve as the TokenEvilTeammate in their unit, in opposition to the TokenGoodTeammate that also receives equal attention (Oleg and Ezra, Jeken and Reann).
* FantasticRacism: Believes that Stormtroopers are more superior than clones, a fact that he tries to rub into Rex's face.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: How the story would've gone if Reann didn't save the day. Considering how meek the other cadets were and how Reann immediately took up the [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure leadership position]], the situation could've gone a lot better had Jeken not been there, though the Empire probably wouldn't think the same if they found out a rebel cell on their most wanted list could've been caught using that opportunity as a TrojanHorse, than say, some passing trader ship.
* LastNameBasis: Konstantine refers to him at the end as 'Cadet Jeken', meaning that it's his last name.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Since everyone else minus [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Reann]] is a BumblingSidekick, they go ahead with his plan to betray the crew.
* UngratefulBastard: He persuades the other cadets into betraying the crew for [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]], even though the alternative of them not getting saved would've meant death or worse.

* TheMentor: To Kallus.
* RivalTurnedEvil: Or 'rogue'. Inverted and downplayed. Jovan helping Kallus in their youth is more akin to TheAce helping those who struggled in class, but he has no problem with rubbing it in Kallus' face when Jovan goes rogue. He was still a FriendlyRival to him though, although a little bitter with his defection.
* SkunkStripe: He's a brunette, but his bangs have grey streaks.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His escape from the Complex is used as one of the many examples of the Lothal garrison's incompetence and used against Aresko and Grint, who [[spoiler:get the [[OffWithHisHead chop]]]] because of this bad report.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Kallus.
* WorthyOpponent: This and a little bit of VillainRespect. Kallus is appreciative of Jovan's teachings, admitting that he never would've been able to get to where he was today, but most of that respect has been lost due to his defection.

!!Kolar Ludd

->'''Appears in:''' ''Comicbook/StarWars'' Issue #17

A member of the Imperial Special Forces and an inmate of the Rebel Alliance's Sunspot Prison. He is one of sixteen other inmates released when a team of mercenaries, who believe the prisoners should be executed rather than imprisoned, takes over Sunspot prison.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear if he's an alien or just a really ugly human.
* TheButcher: His nickname is "The Depopulator."
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Leia refuses to execute unarmed prisoners because she doesn't want to be like the Empire.
* KillItWithFire: Leia and Sana herd him and several other escaped prisoners into a room, hoping to capture them alive. This doesn't matter as the mercenaries deactivate the prison's sun shields and burn them all alive.
* PrisonRiot: He, along with sixteen other inmates, is released by an unknown party hoping to get Princess Leia to kill him.
* RapePillageAndBurn: His job. The Empire would send him into an enemy village and he'd leave everyone dead and the buildings burning.

* CanonImmigrant: ''Rebels'' brings him back into canon. Perhaps ''the'' biggest import from ''Legends'' so far, Thrawn heralds from Timothy Zahn's ''[[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Thrawn Trilogy]]'', made non-canon after the EU reboot in 2014.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He's a highly skilled tactician whose strategies are spoken in awe of by even the likes of Cham Syndulla.



* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes and is a dangerous foe to the Rebellion.



* TheWorfEffect: Makes mince meat out of Cham's forces to show how good he is at tactics.
