Specializations
With the end of the war between the forces of the Galactic Alliance and New Sith Imperium, the necessity for a separation of a Elite force and a massive, lightly trained fighting force of soldiers quickly diminished. Rather than dismiss the highly trained, it was decided that, slowly, the old 'General Military' of useless grunts would be removed in its entirety and replaced with highly trained, highly competent Stormtroopers. The Imperial Army is now entirely populated by Stormtroopers working to eliminate the threats of the New Sith Imperium wherever they may rise.
With the merge, specializations were created to give the soldiers more competency on the field. Each specialization comes with specific weapons, modified versions of the Centurion armor, and specialized training that cannot be found anywhere else.
Snowtroopers
Snowtroopers, also called Cold Assault Stormtroopers, are members of the Imperial Army specially trained for combat and warfare in harsh arctic conditions or extreme mountainous regions. Equipped with rugged, thermally insulated armor, tactical terrain boots, grappling hooks, ion flares, and an arsenal of other equipment, Snowtroopers are among the more common specialization and are dispatched upon ice and arctic worlds across the galaxy.
Their training gives them the advantage in cold and arctic conditions. They are trained with withstand and operate under conditions that would, under normal circumstances, severely limit the functionality of normal soldiers. Snowtroopers are at home among the heavy blizzards of frozen worlds and are easily able to utilize their HUDs to find and take down enemies caught in the deadly snowstorms with them. In the north, the greatest danger to a criminal would not be the claw of a tuskcat, but rather the blaster bolt of a Snowtrooper.
TIE Troopers
TIE Troopers, also called Stormtrooper Pilots, Spacetroopers and historically speaking, TIE Pilots, are a division of the Imperial Army designed to pilot anything from Starfighters to LAAT Gunships. TIE Troopers are easily recognized by their black space suits, and are infamously known to undergo grueling physical and psychological conditioning for stellar combat. Fitted with enclosed suits with limited life support systems and a High Capacity Repeater, TIE Troopers are dispatched in many variant Starfighters of the New Sith Imperium.
To a degree, many TIE fighter pilots are brain washed by the Imperium for their duties. Having no family ties, a tendency to avoid emotional connections, and the susceptibility to mental suggestion are all things considered to be good for a TIE fighter pilot candidate. With undying loyalty to the New Sith Imperium, the TIE pilots are among the hardest trained group in the Imperium, with more deaths to friendly fire from star destroyers in space than to the enemy. The pay, however, is also the best in the entire military, ensign pilots pay rivaling even that of veteran Army commanders. With great risk comes great reward.
Scout Troopers
Scout Troopers, often known as Recon Stormtroopers, are a division of "complex infantry", namely, they engage in strategic combat too unorthodox for the general infantry of the Imperial Army. Trained to be specialists in reconnaissance, Scout Troopers are known galaxy-wide as infamous marksmen. Snipers fill the role of assassins, survivalists, and spies. Scout Troopers are often dispatched with standard Stormtroopers as defensive or offensive support as well.
They are often outfitted with Centurion armor that can be quickly modified for stealth in nearly any environment, as well as a High Capacity Repeater, a IV-1 Vibroblade, and a modified, scoped Rogue Arms DE7 rifle. Scout troopers are the silent killers of the Army, those who are trained to kill almost solely in cold blood. In warzones, it is not uncommon to see an enemy drop dead while shaving or even while talking to a companion, so long as they were careless enough to let their guard down long enough for a Scout Trooper to take the shot. Grand General Konstantine was a Scout Trooper in the time of the war between the Alliance and the Imperium.
Assault Troopers
Assault Troopers, also called Heavy Stormtroopers and Shock Troopers, are the vanguard of the Imperial Army. Trained in all ranges of combat, and often fitted with an E98 ‘Ripperjack’ Heavy Repeater and a IV-1 Vibroblade, Centurion armor, and stim packs for pinnacle combat efficiency, Assault Troopers are the crushing force of the Imperial Army. Often, they are sent to decimate resistance, insurrections, or native inhabitants into submission. In the eyes of many in the galaxy, Assault Troopers are perceived essentially as "Super" Stormtroopers.
It is not uncommon to hear brutal stories of Assault Troopers gunning down criminals even as they surrender and retreat in fear, as Assault Troopers are trained to be the most ruthless men and women in the entire galaxy. It is rumored that even Sith Acolytes are often shocked by the frightening efficiency of the Assault Troopers brutality in combat at home and abroad. They are also heavily trained in Hand to Hand combat, specifically the Nohgri combat art of Stava, and have been known to take down even well trained Echani without a weapon equipped. Identified by their orange pauldrons, often personally customized armor, and the occasional former Mandalorian, Assault Troopers are one of the greatest forces within the Imperium Military.
HOSTEN Troopers
Hostile Environment Troopers, more commonly called HOSTEN Troopers, Hazard Troopers, or EVO Troopers, are a branch of the Imperial Army specially trained to brave the harshest and most toxic of climates and terrains. These range from the poisonously lethal airs of Raxus Prime to the volcanic climate of Shola. As such, HOSTEN Troopers are often armed with flamethrowers, or other like weapons depending on the environment, and wear heavily specialized Centurion armor to regulate their rebreathers and air intake, additional sealing countermeasures to ensure the stability of the armor's internal supply, treated and conditioned armor to bear the environment around them.
In the case of the HOSTEN trooper, the Centurion Armor is modified and treated to no longer have a weakness to fire and incendiary weapons, however this comes at a great cost to maneuverability. Their training is simple in that they are trained to be fearless, no matter their situation. Burning buildings, exploding volcanos, desolate, poisonous worlds, nothing can even remotely deter the fearlessness of the HOSTEN troopers.
Urban Troopers
Urban Troopers, also called Polis Stormtroopers, are a division of the Imperial Army that, true to their namesake, specialize in urban warfare. Engaging in guerrilla tactics, surgical strikes, hit-and-runs, and other less traditional warfare, Urban Troopers are essentially the special ops of the Imperial Military, and are more often dispatched to shatter, destabilize, or otherwise cripple a target before a larger force moves in to takeover.
They are equipped with the most diverse range of equipment with each soldier varying depending on his job within a squad, however they are always equipped with vibroblades, thermal detonators, plasma grenades, and flashbang grenades. Trained heavily in close quarters combat, Urban troopers are exceedingly frightening and nearly impossible to stop once they've landed.

Strike Troopers
Strike Troopers, also called Heavy Weapons Trooper and Demolition Stormtroopers, are skilled members of the Imperial Army that operate within squads of Stormtroopers, providing demolition assistance and tactical strikes with heavy personal weaponry, hence their name. The Strike Troopers have various duties, from laying down minefields, to disabling explosives, to providing tactical vehicular offense, and various other duties.
Stormtrooper Commandos
Stormtrooper Commandos, also called Storm Commandos, Blackhole Stormtroopers, and Shadow Stormtroopers, are the most elite of the Imperial Army. They make up the legendary 501st Legion. Able for direct assaults, infiltration tactics, marine warfare, and more, the Stormtrooper Commandos are the absolute best of the best, save for the Imperial Royal Guard. Stormtrooper Commandos are equipped with matte black armor, special weapons and armors, repulsorpacks and unique starships for their missions. As the prime special forces of the Imperium, the Stormtrooper Commandos are sent to deal with the Imperium's most difficult enemies, and are the dread of any enemy to cross their paths. Select members of the Stormtrooper Commandos are elected to be members of the Imperial Guard.
Imperial Guard
The Imperial Guard, also known as the Honor Guard, the Nova Guard, and Novatroopers, are the absolute elite of the Stormtrooper Commandos chosen to be part of the Sith upper echelon's personal royal guard. Unmistakably distinguished by their black armor laced with gold, the Imperial Guard is a seldom seen force, even by members of the Imperium, as their duty is to the Empress, Dark Lord, and Grand General alone. Fanatically loyal to those three, the Imperial Guard is considered to arguably be the most deadly fighting force in the entire galaxy.
Their minds are unshakeable, their wills unbreakable, their strength indomitable. The Imperial Guard is the fighting force of the galaxy that even highly trained Force Users fear. More well trained than even Stormtrooper Commandos and kept on their toes by the constant assassination attempts, the Imperial Guard is a force to be reckoned with.
