Storm Trooper-credit to Star Wars

One of the most memorable images from the Original Star Wars Trilogy is the white skulled foot soldiers of the Empire. Whether for their ominous appearance or their laughable targeting skills, Stormtroopers epitomise the might of the Imperial army. 

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 troopers executed Order 66 at the command of Chancellor Palpatine, attacking their Jedi generals.
Initially, the stormtroopers served as the army of the Galactic Empire, putting down revolts and establishing imperial authority.^[1] The Stormtrooper Corps swelled in size after Palpatine allowed the addition of birth born recruits and conscripts alongside the clones.
After the Empire had been stabilised and an Imperial Army/ Imperial Navy established, the stormtroopers became the Emperor’s personal army and were stationed on Imperial bases and cruisers to ensure absolute loyalty and obedience to Palpatine^{[citation needed]}, as well as on the Death Star and Death Star II. They maintained these roles until the Empire’s destruction.
