Members of the Rebel Alliance special forces took them as a joke, thinking they were inexperienced and poorly trained. Grand Moff Tarkin selected the best and most elite troopers to become Death Star troopers, who served aboard the first (and later second, though Tarkin was not alive by then) Death Star. However, they preformed other tasks as well, such as monitoring sensor arrays, directing hangar traffic, and escorting prisoners to their cells. Troopers provided the Navy with its own soldiers, making them not having to rely on the Imperial Army or Stormtrooper Corps for security.Īfter Stormtroopers and Army troopers cleared a conflicted area, Navy troops were often called in to preform mop-up operations. Officially known as Imperial Navy troopers, they acted as security guards aboard Imperial Navy starships and space stations, as well as ground installations. In the game, the Imperial Navy Trooper is armed with a gun, and has the ability to shoot, jump, and grapple. He wears a black helmet that looks rather like a cross between the new and old physical version's helmets. His face is printed with a black chinstrap, and a neutral, staring expression. They have dark grey legs, and a dark grey torso printed with a grey tunic with black lining, and an insignia placed on the left side. Imperial Navy Troopers have also appeared in two videogames, with a very different look. Both have semi-bucket like helmets, with the new figure featuring a larger and more detailed helmet.

The older figure has dark orange eyebrows, and the newer one has thinner black ones. Both have light nougat faces, one of which has a black chinstrap, and the other a dark grey one. Both have unprinted black legs, and a black torso printed with a silver belt and a black tunic with silver lining. The Death Star Trooper has appeared in four physical sets.
