HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The First Order Stormtrooper Corps was among the first installments of the new First Order government, passing the Armament Act immediately both out of necessity for starting the funding and organisation as well as fortifying the militaristic values the First Order holds.
The Stormtrooper Corps would serve as both the primary First Order army unit as well as its high-grade, well trained and well equipped elite force within the tithe and vassal system the First Order is structured in for the time being. That means that for the First Order as an overarching government, the Stormtroopers are the primary armed force to be deployed but are to be deployed in extension of the troops the vassal houses and states are fielding themselves.
Founded in 898ABY, several months after the end of the brief civil war on Serenno, the Stormtroopers are now primarily composed of volunteers from the imperial remnant Stormtroopers, volunteers from Serennian houses militia and overall volunteers from the surrounding systems and sectors who are flocking to the banner of order and stability. This resulted in a heterogenous combination of soldiers from different backgrounds uniting for a single purpose, an exemplary and model for what the entire First Order aims to do.
Shortly after the Armament Act was passed, the Education and Preparation Act was passed which described the necessity for pupil in the age of 7-12 to enlist in the local Youth Corps which offered both education as well as training, preparing the new generation for service but also for life outside of the military. It was not a forced conscription, but a preparation and a promotion for the Armed Forces overall. Though this only counts for the Core Regions of the First World, any vassal would have to contribute a tithe in form of manpower or resources to the First Order for remaining in their relative self-determined dependancy and supporting the Stormtrooper Corps with recruits.
The focus of the Stormtroopers are primarily operations which are direct engagements and pitched battles. They are well trained for any potential ground and boarding combat scenarios and how to handle heavy and special weapons like grenade launchers, flamethrowers or rotary blasters as well as operating with armor, from aircraft or on foot and in conjunction with artillery and air support.
