Stormtroopers were the infantry units of the Galactic Empire and First Order. They were a departure from the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic, as they were now cloned from other templates or made up of humans that were trained in the military arts since they were born.
History[]

Darth Vader
Stormtroopers were created in 18 BBY when Emperor Palpatine seized power in the galaxy and founded the Galactic Empire to replace the Galactic Republic. Now, the Empire had new units, stark white stormtroopers equipped with smoke-resistant masks and wielding blasters. These units were first tested in the battle of Naboo, where they killed Queen Apailana after she harbored members of the Jedi Order despite their marking for extermination in Order 55. The stormtroopers became the main military force of the Empire, and they later crushed their predecesssors, the clone troopers, in the Kamino Uprising. The stormtroopers were highly-disciplined and were the backbone of the Imperial army, later serving under the First Order after the fall of the Empire sometime between 4 and 34 ABY.
