The Imperial Stormtroopers are soldiers from George Lucas' ''Star Wars'' universe. They are the main ground-force of the Galactic Empire, under the leadership of Emperor Palpatine and his commanders, most notably Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. The order of battle of the Stormtrooper Corps is unspecified in the Star Wars universe, but its numbers are far fewer than those of the Imperial Army's regular troopers. Despite this, the apparently high combat effectiveness of the Stormtroopers as well as their harsh reputation serve as the main reasons for deploying them almost exclusively in most of the military engagements of the Galactic Empire. They are shown in collective groups of varying organizational sizes ranging from squads to legions, and for some, their armor and training is modified for special operations and environments. ==Background== In ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'', the first troopers were cloned from bounty hunter Jango Fett, to be the Army of the Republic in the Clone Wars. In ''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'', the Clone troopers executed Order 66 under the command of Chancellor Palpatine, slaying their Jedi generals. Initially, the stormtroopers serve as the army of the Galactic Empire, putting down revolts and establishing Imperial authority. They are the back bone of the Empire.〔''Star Wars Battlefront II'', LucasArts〕 The Stormtrooper Corps swell in size after Palpatine allows the addition of recruits and conscripts alongside the clones, though the replacement of clones by natural beings lowered the effectiveness of the Empire's famed soldiers. With the Empire firmly stabilized and an Imperial Army/Imperial Navy established, the stormtroopers were integrated into Palpatine's personal army and were stationed on Imperial bases and cruisers, as well as on the Death Star. After Palpatine's death, the stormtroopers continued to serve under the factions that broke apart from the Empire. With redesigned armor, they eventually served under the leadership of the First Order.〔Star Wars: The Force Awakens〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stormtrooper (Star Wars)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
