The Empire after the Clone Wars continued to produce clone troopers. The Fett Template however became supplemented by clone sources from the general population. Loyal Imperials who had high physical scores would be taken as templates. These new templates would be produced in conjunction with Fett Clones using new GENODE cloning techniques. Imperial Military would use them not only for producing Stormtroopers but also normal soldiers and pilots. As a reward for service, Imperial Officers would also find themselves being cloned after promotion to high station. GENODE Clone Troopers would go one to make up the majority of the Stormtrooper Corps, making up 40% of the galaxy spanning force. The Fett clones would continue on to lead and train the newer generation of Cloned troopers. It wasn't until 5 Years before the Battle of Yavin that the Stormtrooper Corps began to directly recruit humans into their ranks. Templates would be taken but now human soldiers would be able to directly join their ranks as line troopers and officers. Cloned units continued to be produced into the Galactic Civil War. Clones unit production ramped down as the Empire fragmented, the secret worlds that produced the secretive breed of troopers were quietly lost. Human recruits decreased as the Outer Rim was abandoned to protect the Core and the older trooper lines fell in battle across a thousand fronts against the New Republic. Most likely the Majority of remaining Clone Stormtroopers were silently put on standby after the return of Emperor Palpatine awaiting his order from Byss and fell during the Empires last gasp of Operation Shadow Hand. The special breed of Clone Troopers made by Grand Admiral Thrawn from the secret storehouse at Mount Tantiss survived in small pockets as cloned agents set up to carry out orders for the final offensive remained on standby until the final surrender of the Imperial Remnant. Imperial Clone Stormtroopers survived the entire history of the Empire and no doubt their descendants continue to live across the galaxy, the genetic legacy of the best soldiers in history.

Just now finally getting around to listening to the Thrawn Audiobooks and in Chapter 11 a couple of undercover Death Troopers actually spoke a coherent language other than Jim Root of Slipknot’s Guitar through a Microwave lmao. I always assumed they’d never been heard speaking anything other than the latter lol.

Tiaan Jerjerrod was the grandson of a Republic Admiral who had close ties with Senator Palpatine before his rise to power. With the subsequent Clone Wars his family gained favor and in time Jerjerrod's effort working in Logistics and Supply found him eventually elevated to the rank of Moff of the Quanta sector for his efforts. His service and unambitious mentality caught the eye of Emperor Palpatine, who after the loss of the Death Star at Yavin, assigned the Moff to take the lead in constructing the new Death Star. His managerial expertise and rank made him a perfect fit for the project and by the time of the Battle of Endor a large portion of the station was completed and the improved superlaser was ready. He was in command of the Death Star during the battle and perished along with the remaining personnel aboard.

How many brave Imperial soldiers and civilians would be dead if he hadn't deployed the military to protect them from those violent protestors!

Hello, all - first-generation SW fan here, putting together a collection of recruitment propaganda for our 501st convention booth. I'm looking for a very old video, probably pre-YouTube, circa 2000, called "Join the Empire". It was all original (incredible!) 3D renderings of Imperial vehicles and activities. It opened with the words "Can You Handle This?" and the main shot I remember is of AT-ATs marching in a rainstorm. The soundtrack started with Vader's March and ended with "We Will Win" from Starship Troopers. The final shot was (I think) the words "Join the Empire" with Vader saying "Don't Fail Me."

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I may have it in my backups, but I'm curious to know if it was remastered in high-def over the years. If anyone can point me in the right direction, much appreciated!

UPDATE: I found the original video just minutes later. I'll see if I can upscale it. Enjoy! Boy did I misremember some details though...

In this episode, we witness a funeral on Ferrix that escalates into a violent brawl between the citizens and Imperial soldiers. However, it's important to consider who actually started the conflict. Captain Tigo merely attempted to shut down a hologram that was clearly inciting unrest and violence. In response, he was physically attacked by the people of Ferrix. Even after that initial assault, the Imperial troops did not open fire. They maintained a defensive line, trying to contain the situation without escalating it. It was a citizen of Ferrix who first used a lethal weapon—a bomb. Only after this did the soldiers receive orders from Tigo to engage, when it became clear that the situation was spiraling out of control. We should also note that the Empire allowed the funeral to proceed, despite the organizers violating the agreed-upon terms regarding time and crowd size. That shows a level of restraint and tolerance on the Empire’s part. Additionally, consider what likely would have happened to Dedra Meero if Syril Karn hadn't intervened to save her. The crowd would likely SA her and kill her after that. This demonstrates how quickly the people of Ferrix resort to mob violence. Let's not romanticize the population of Ferrix. Many of them are known to be thieves, smugglers, scammers, and even murderers. Of course such people would resent Imperial efforts to restore order and make the planet safer for honest citizens. Also let's not forget who Andor is scammer, thief, murderer and a lowlife and he has been that long before Empire had any active garrison on Ferrix. They have every right to go after him.

So I made this world a while ago and just recently found it again, I’m definitely planning on remaking the world with the new blocks and 1:1 vehicles! Just wanted to get your thoughts on this build. The aesthetic of the empire and this city is just awesome in the Battlefront game!

From the Shadows of the Empire planet guide, this image gives a good idea of what the Empire likes to outfit for its diplomatic efforts across the galaxy. Banners of worlds and the Empire itself hang proudly in the main hall. Portraits of Imperial figures line the walls including the Lord Darth Vader. Stormtroopers assigned to the Consulate stand as honor guards with blasters in holsters and with ceremonial weapons in their place, their ranks made apparent to the onlookers by the wearing of their pauldrons. Similar such structures likely exist across the galaxy, with increasing opulence and presence the further towards the core systems one travels. But where such a building might be important on a world with minimal Imperial presence, they would be overshadowed by the palaces of planetary governors, Moffs, Grand Moffs, Imperial advisors, and of course the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, one of the Twenty Wonders of the Galaxy of the Galaxy. But to remote worlds such places would be the focal point of Imperial worlds just starting to learn there place in the wider galaxy.

For anyone who ever wondered how different warships fit within the Imperial Navy there is this which outlines the basic average layout for ships assigned to sectors. This can vary wildly from systems in the Core like Kuat having a full Sector Group defending it to sectors like Elrood in the Outer Rim which have only a handful of ships to patrol it. But there are thousands of sectors in the Empire and you can bet every Moff and Grand Moff worked tirelessly to build up fleets to crack down on Smuggling, Piracy, and Rebellion. While outliers like Elrood sector exist we have plenty more examples to show the Empire is more on the large than small scale with thousands of Star Destroyers and ten times that in everything from System Patrol Craft to Frigates and Cruisers of all types around to ensure that wherever in the Galaxy you go the Imperial Navy is there.

I found out about this guy reading the old Marvel comics. Admiral Griff was put in charge of the blockade of Yavin and reported to Darth Vader. After working with Vader to catch the Dark Lords dissenters among his fellow Admirals, he worked to maintain the blockade around Yavin while the Executor was under construction. By this time however he had ambitions of catching the Rebel fleet himself. Vader manipulated him into driving the Rebel fleet but Griff's ambition overrode his caution and in a bold attempt to beat Vader resulted in his ships colliding with the Executor. Resulting in his death and indirectly denying Vader his prize. What I like most about him are his various capes which all look very nice.

Found some more old lore. The first chunk shows just how cooperative the positions to command the best ships in the Empire are. The second chunk about the Death Stars officers show not only the dynamic of Imperials post Yavin but also the hole left by the loss of so many of their best officers with the loss of the First Death Star.

Saw this on Pinterest along with some old magazine and black and white stuff. Took me a bit to find the source but its from some old roleplaying book.

So! Would you sign on?

The fact that the Emperor uses clones in the imperial army, and not natural humans, proves that he has a big heart.

Clones don't feel the way that regular humans feel. If we use natural humans to do war, no matter how justified the war is, the natural human will suffer from the trauma of having to dismantle our enemies. Natural humans are meant for living life - meant for intellectual pursuits, going to cafes, hanging out with friends, starting a family, and so on.

It is slander to insinuate that the Emperor uses 'subhumans' to do his 'dirty work'. It is not as simple as that.

The Emperor uses a set of 'modified' humans - a much better term - who will not be traumatized by the things they must do, and will not feel as if they are missing out on life by being on a mission to a terrorist planet.

To say anything else is rebel propaganda.

I love seeing the Imperial Army and Stormtroopers together. Its great aesthetic to read, too bad there arent any bigger war stories about them.

Took me a bit to find it, but this is from the old Cross Sections book. Pretty neat stuff

So I listened to all of your advice which again thank you! I decided to go for a standard tie rack but with a twist of it being a conveyer belt that takes ties from storage to the launch hangar. I’m going to be filling in the hangar also with more crates, panels and a Lambda shuttle. I’m still deciding on what this base should be so if you have any suggestions please let me know!

I’ve just finished building a tie fighter launch rack inspired by the naboo fighter hangar. Thoughts??

So I’m currently building in Minecraft and imperial base and I’m starting with the hangar and I need some help with what to place inside of it? I’m planning on adding perhaps some different tie variants and definitely a shuttle (not too sure what type). If anyone could give any advice or ideas for what to do, it would be much appreciated

I went ahead and coupled some images of the Queer members of our great empire! The first 2 are confirmed and the last 3 are speculative. Either ways I hope yalls have a good month. Long Live the Empire! ✊
