Imperial DARK TROOPERS FULLY EXPLAINED - Moff Gideon's Army Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 4

The Dark Troopers were a set of extremely advanced battle droids which utilized incredibly strong exoskeletons and were protected by heavy plating that resembled the standard armor of a stormtrooper. These Dark troopers carried very powerful weapons and even jump packs, which allowed them to leap high into the air with ease.

So with the Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 4 (CHAPTER 12) confirming that Moff Gideon is creating an army of Dark Trooper soldiers, I’m going to break down exactly what the Dark Troopers are and every single variant of them that we currently know.
The Dark Trooper Project was created during the time of the Empire, by highly esteemed General Rom Mohc. During the Clone wars, Rom Mohc served in the Galactic Republic army as a non-clone officer, and while there he began to develop an obsession with cybernetics and hand to hand combat. Because of his love for hand to hand combat and respect for discipline, he absolutely despised superweapons like the Death Star, and instead began to work on on a project that would later be known as the Dark Trooper Project, inside of his customized starship, called the ARC Hammer.

This project actually had four main phases, so I’ll break them all down.

Phase zero of the project began, when Mohc put his cybernetics skills to use, turning veteran clones from the Clone Wars into gruesome and horrible cyborgs, with their bodies mangled and disfigured into the perfect, cybernetically enhanced soldiers. This part of the Imperial Dark Trooper project wasn’t officially authorised our funded by Imperial leadership and therefore known as the Phase Zero dark troopers. Phase Zero was the first and last phase of the project to use biological life forms.

As the empire began to phase the Clone Troopers out the ranks of the imperial army not long after the Clone Wars, Phase Zero Dark Troopers began to become far less common, and the entire project was eventually shut down. Despite no new Phase zero dark troopers being created, many of them still served in the Imperial army, and it became pretty clear to Imperial leadership that the efficiency of these soldiers was a step above anything the Rebel alliance could come up against.

The Phase Zero soldiers were usually equipped with a simple blast cannons or Modified E-11 blaster rifles known as ARC Casters. On top of this, they used a SE-14r light repeating blaster as a side arm, and carried a large supply of thermal detonators with them also.

Eventually, the Phase Zero troopers continued to be used on the battlefields all the way until shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

Some years later, the Dark Trooper project was finally greenlit and funded by Imperial leadership, allowing Phase 1 of the operation to begin. The main goal of the project this time was to create the next generation of Stormtroopers, who were stronger, faster and more agile than the human born soldiers.

And after I go through all the phases of the Dark trooper program, let me know down below which one you prefer.

The Phase 1 dark trooper was the earliest fully cybernetic Battle droid of the project and was nothing much more than a lightsaber-resistant, skeletal frame, equipped with a standard issue vibrosword attached to it’s right arm and a blast shield for it’s left arm. Because the Phase I dark troopers were so primitive, they served primarily as a defence droid at Imperial Military Installations and were actually incredible at this role.

Again Because these Phase 1 Dark troopers were created so early in the project, the scientists working on them weren’t able to figure out a way to hide their visible and loose power cords just yet, creating many significant weak spots for the cybernetic soldier. Finally, the Phase 1 Dark Troopers were given small jump packs, which they could either use to jump higher into the air than their regular cybernetic legs would allow them, or they could divert that power to make their vibro-blades vibrate faster, causing absolute carnage when they came up against the flesh of a regular, human or biological soldier.

Eventually, the Phase II version of the Dark Troopers were created, and they were equipped with a very similar suit, the same jump pack and were now even given a large, fully automatic weapon known as the assault cannon. This repeater rifle was a massive 1.2 metres long, and fired a horrifying lethal plasma ammunition that was capable of punching through almost any type of body armor and would kill soldiers in a single shot. against the Phase 2 dark troopers, with this weapon. These Phase 2 troopers were eventually deployed by the Empire against the Rebel alliance operations centre at Tak Base, in the brutal conflict that became known as the Attack on Tak Base.
