History
Stormtroopers were soldiers that were part of the armed forces of the Galactic Empire. Their origins were traced to the Clone Wars when the Galactic Republic fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In that time, the Old Republic sought to create an army as none had existed since its founding. Thus, they turned to the cloners of Kamino who created Clone Troopers based on the genetic material of the bounty hunter Jango Fett who became the basis of the Grand Army of the Republic. During the conclusion of the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine instituted Order 66 which shut down the Battle Droid army of the Separatists and the Clone Troopers were re-organised into the Stormtroopers as the Republic became the Empire. Over time, the practice of using clones was abandoned and the ranks of the Imperial Stormtroopers consisted of recruits from various worlds.
In preparation for the ambush, the Emperor had his finest legion deployed in hiding on Endor as they waited for the Rebel forces.
Following the Battle of Endor, the Empire fell into disarray as it began to collapse. The Stormtroopers came to serve among fragments of the former regime that gained footholds on distant worlds as they attempted to cling to what few powered remained for them. During this time, their ranks consisted of a rag-tag army of mercenaries that worked for lawless gangsters.
In time, remnants of the Empire came to form the First Order whose military consisted of Stormtroopers.
