Strong. Proud. Stormtrooper Corps.
The Stormtrooper Corps is a specialized armed services branch of the Joint Military Establishment responsible for force projection against the enemies of the Galactic Empire through any means necessary. Highly skilled and experienced soldiers, the Stormtrooper Corps are masters of their environment, astoundingly lethal in their selected combat class, and logistical and tactical wizards on the battlefield. These battle-heartened soldiers regularly engage in Player vs. Player engagements, participate in battlefield combat theaters, and depending on the branch, role play their role as elite Stormtroopers with the Fleet.
Roles in the Military
Wizards on and off the battlefield, Stormtrooper Corps soldiers are trained for a variety of roles in the military and the Fleet overall.
Tactical Assault
The primary role of the Stormtrooper Corps is tactical intrusions into enemy occupied territory either through the battlefield combat theater or various major cities in the galaxy. The Corps are infantry masters and always get the job done.
Siege and Control
Soldiers routinely engage in siege and control operations throughout the galaxy, where soldiers attack and sieze enemy occupied territory. Whether it is Restuss or a GCW-declared player city, Stormtrooper Corps are the masters of siege and control tactics.
Point Defense
Stormtrooper Corps are often called in the defense of Imperial controlled assets. Base defense, city occupation and planetary blockades are the speciality of the Stormtrooper Corps. The many rapid response teams of the Corps can handle nearly any situation in a matter of minutes.
Intelligence
Battlefield intelligence can make or break a major combat mission, and the Stormtrooper Corps has gained a strong ability to analyze and scout a battlefield. Highly skilled scouting parties and years of experience have secured the Stormtrooper Corps domination in the battlefield.
Logistics
With years of experience in battlefield planning and combat tactical maneuvers, Stormtrooper Corps' logistical officers are capable of solving any strategical problem with just the right number of military assets to get the job completed efficiently.
Security Patrols
Stormtrooper Corps conduct security patrols at random times with a random number of strategic assets available. While this began for role playing reasons, patrol teams have discovered it to be a great source of guerillia PvP engagements.
Organization of the Corps
The Stormtrooper Corps must complete various roles for the military and thus be highly trained and efficient. Troops are divided into detachments, platoons and squads.
Command
Commandant of the Corps: General Rommel
Deputy Commandant of the Corps: General Styrker
Operations Commandant: General Ravesaw
Detachment
There are three detachments of the Stormtrooper Corps, each providing a unique experience. The first is Storm detachment, which is a heavy role-playing based unit with 60 personnel. Vengeance detachment is the primary player vs. player focused unit that also engages in a little role-playing and player vs. environment events. The notorious Black Hand detachment act as the Corps' elite special operations force, with strict entry requirements, secretive operations and little to no role-playing.
Platoon (Action Force)
The Platoon is a unit of two to three squads of seasoned soldiers, or 24-36 personnel, headed by a commissioned officer as a platoon commander. Each platoon is self sufficient and the platoon commander acts as the principle commander in PvP engagements unless a senior officer overrides his control.
Squad (Rapid Response Team)
The Squad is the central component of each of the soldier's experience in the Corps. With 12 personnel per squad, squads are self suffient in training and communications. Each squad undergoes one day of training a week where members must work to improve eachother and themselves in various team building and personal exercises.
Imperial Personnel
The Stormtrooper Corps has nearly 300 personnel, approximately a third of whom are in ready reserve and active duty members in other Fleet subgroups. The majority of personnel are skilled infantry, and a little over ten percent of the Army are commissioned officers. All members of the Army must meet certain PvP requirements and activity levels. Some positions require a recruit pass an apprentice program or gain skills through the Imperial Academy such as leadership and tactical training.
Stormtrooper Infantry
Infantry is the central component of the Stormtrooper Corps. Infantry are trained to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, or repel the enemy's assault by fire and close combat. Spies serve as the primary scouts. Officers, medics, commandos and bounty hunters act as assault troops.
Black Hand Special Operations Capable Forces
The Black Hand are a merciless detachment of soldiers that specialize in sting operations, rapid arms deployment, tactical assault, and seizure of property by any means necessary. The Black Hand leaves its ethics at the door and always has its focus on the operation.
Battlefield Intelligence
Critical to the war efforts on the ground, Intelligence Officers work to gather battlefield details that could decide how an operation is planned and executed. Only the most skilled and trustworthy scouts are sent on actual intelligence gathering operations. The primary unit is the spy class.
Commissioned Officers
Commissioned officers can generally be divided into line officers and staff corps. Line Officers are the warfighting command element and are authorized to lead large numbers of troops and special operations units. Staff Corps officers are specialists in fields such as operations development and tactical design scenarios.
Unit Gear & Equipment
Like any modern real-life army, the Stormtrooper Corps relies on highly trained soldiers and the best gear possible. The Corps makes sure each unit has the best gear possible to get the job done.
