THE MILITARY OF THE FIRST ORDER
The Military of the First Order is a fanatical force of highly trained and well equipped professional soldiers. From those who abandoned their Imperial origin to fresh recruits from the worlds fallen into the rule of the Supreme Leader each member of the First Order is a well oiled cog in a vast war machine designed singularly for the purpose of Galactic Conquest.
STORMTROOPER LEGIONS
While in the Galactic Empire upon which we mould our ideals the Stromtrooper Corps were considered an elite cadre among millions our Supreme Leader has decreed that the entire First Order Military shall be of their level.
The Stormtrooper Legions are the Supreme Leader’s knife edge and his following left fist. They are the first to go in, the last to come out. They march without fear into where the enemy is at it’s strongest and do not pause until their objectives have been achieved. The First Order doctrine then follows in the path that the Stormtrooper Legions blaze.
Training
Stormtrooper cadets carry out their training within the facilities of Starkiller Base. All the training offered within the citadel itself has been specially designed to produce superior soldiers perfect for the white armour of the First Order Stormtrooper Legions. Those who survive have truly earned their right to wear the armour of their faith.
Within Starkiller Base, stormtooper recruits undergo:
Wilderness Survival
Desert Warfare Simulation
Underwater Battle Tactics
Experimental Weapon Testing
Flash-Memory Instruction in Military History
Self-Discipline through Emotional Suppression
Anti-Force Influence Conditioning
Anti-Force User Combat Tactics
Education in the Principles of the First Order and it’s Supreme Leader
Equipment
A stromtrooper of the First Order is a select warrior. They are unable to be bribed or blackmailed. They are unswerving in their obedience and unflinching in they dispensation of the First Orders Justice.
Stormtroopers are victorious on the field of battle because of the training provided by the First Order, their uniformity, and their ability to bring overwhelming firepower to bear. Their lives are sacrifice for the Supreme Leader and the First Order.
1)Armour.
Basic Stormtrooper armour is derived from what was worn by the Stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War some eight hundred years ago.
The armour is made from an anergy-diffusing and impact-resistant plastoid. When assembled, the bodysuit covers the stormtrooper from head to toe in a protective shall.
Rank and file stormtroopers look identical to outsiders. And individual trooper can identify his squad mates with IFF transponder readouts displayed within his helmet. Our foes will only see a united and implacable face. When the enemies of the First Order witness one of our stormtroopers fall to only be replaced with a duplicate their will to fight will disappear.
1a)Officers
Stormtrooper Officers can be either from training within Starkiller Base or promoted from within the ranks. When out of their armour, officers are designated by all-black tunics, trousers, officer’s cap and rank cylinders.
In the field, officers are marked by orange shoulder cauldrons and bear specific rank insignia.
The armour of stormtrooper commanders are also marked, they don the chrome gleam of their rank and are easily distinguished because of this. High-value commanders are also provided with personal energy shields for use during combat.
2)Equipment
All stormtroopers have a removable belt that is standard issue, but the equipment carried on each varies dependant on the mission at hand. Common items include:
Grappling Hook with Extendable Cable
Military Comlink Hardwired Against Jamming
Blaster Power Packs for Their Chosen Rifle
Wrist Binders for Captured Prisoners
Survival Kit that includes emergency rations, flares and a medpac
Electronic lock scrambler/descrambler

The backplate of a stormtroopers armour also includes a small storage unit which is used to hold other survival and technical equipment.
Organisation
The First Order hold a strict chain of command throughout their Stormtrooper Legions, this chain of command is known as Starkiller Command and it governs the military operations of the First Order military as a whole. The officers of Starkiller Command are sub servant to the Supreme Leader themselves. If the Supreme Leader wishes something done it will be Starkiller Command that makes it happen.
1)Formations and Deployment
Each stormtrooper is a formidable fighting unit in isolation. When deployed together, stormtroopers can accomplish any objective on ground, air, or in space.
Squad
Structure: 8-10 stormtroopers
Command’s Rank: Sergeant
Platoon
Structure: 4-5 Squads
Commander’s Rank: Lieutenant
Company
Structure: 4 Platoons
Commander’s Rank: Captain or Major
Battalion
Structure: 4 Companies
Commander’s Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
Regiment
Structure: 4 Battalions
Commander’s Rank: High Colonel
Legion:
Structure: 4 Regiments
Commander’s Rank: General
Note: When Multiple Legions are assigned to a single warzone they become known as Orders, these Orders are placed under the command of a Field Marshal but are given a level of active self independence upon the battlefield under their General’s command.
2)Specialisations
The First Order stormtroopers have been trained to operate on a vast number of worlds many of which harbour hostile climates. Using a combination of exceptional training and extraordinary equipment members of the Stormtrooper Legions can subdue any environment.
Aquatic Assault Stormtroopers
The aquatic Assault Trooper is deployed on oceanic worlds to pacify threats beneath the waves. The armour’s air supply lasts for over an hour and is resistant to crushing ocean depths. Uderwater mobility is increased by flittered boots and a backpack propulsion unit.
Incinerator Stormtroopers
These troopers carry Opressor flamethrowers and are an extension of an ordinary Stormtrooper Legion. Trained to lay down flame and reactive chemicals, incinerator troopers are best used against infantry and to purge local villages.
Cold Assault Stormtroopers
Like their name suggests, snow troopers are trained for operation in arctic environments. Their insulated armour features an arctic-camouflage white body glove as an additional layer of thermal protection. Manual controls for regulating the suit’s internal systems are located on the chest plate. The lenses on the helmet are polarised and the faceplate allows for recirculated air to prevent ice buildup within the helmet’s atmospheric filter.
First Order Special Forces Stormtroopers
This is the special forces division of the stormtrooper legions. They specialise in insurgency tactics and putting down insurrections or revolutions at the core. The Special Forces rely on stealth, superior equipment and place an emphasis on sabotage and assassination. The wear a darkened armour similar to that of regular line Stormtroopers, it features a reflective polymer finish that scatters light and EM radiation, reducing their sensor ping to almost nothing.
