- Unit Name: Imperial Sentinels
- Affiliation: The Risen Empire
- Classification: Elite Infantry / Protective Guard
- Description: Imperial Sentinels are the pinnacle of non-Force-sensitive martial training and equipment within the Risen Empire. Dressed in ominous black ultrachrome armor and standing silently at their posts or charging fearlessly into battle, they are symbols of authority, control, and the absolute reach of the Emperor's will. They feature a mirrored visor, modified Death Trooper systems, and a strict doctrine of total obedience. Each Sentinel is conditioned for extreme combat scenarios, and their presence alone is often enough to silence dissent.
- Unit Size: Small
- Unit Availability: Rare
- Unit Experience: Elite
- Equipment:
- Imperial Sentinel Armor
- Vibro-Arbir Blades
- Heavy repeater blaster or compact disruptor rifles (biometric-linked)
- Combat Function: Imperial Sentinels serve as close-protection forces for Moffs and other high ranking Imperial personneland elite enforcers during military and political operations. They are trained to intercept assassins, suppress Force-user threats, and act independently or in tight coordinated teams. In combat, they operate with ruthless precision, often spearheading boarding operations or leading purges of sensitive targets. They also serve as executioners of high-value prisoners and traitors under Moff authority. Their advanced armor and systems allow them to thrive in close-quarters and hostile environments, and they function as both sword and shield to Imperial command.
- Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): N/A
Strengths:
- Elite Training & Equipment – Equipped with ultrachrome armor and advanced Death Trooper-grade systems, Sentinels are extremely durable, precise, and difficult to defeat.
- Absolute Loyalty – Indoctrinated through COMPNOR and psychographic conditioning, Sentinels are immune to bribery, fear, or hesitation. They will fight to the last breath.
- EMP/Ion Vulnerability – Despite protective alloy layering, their reliance on electronics makes them vulnerable to EMP/ion disruption. A single hit can disable their HUD, servo support, or communications.
- Low Unit Density – Due to the cost and time required to train and outfit each Sentinel, they are extremely rare. Losses are difficult to replace and often personally felt by their assigned protectee.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Imperial Sentinels were established in the early years of the Risen Empire, born from the Emperor's desire to create a force that embodied absolute loyalty, precision, and ideological purity. Drawing from the failed examples of the Emperor's Royal Guard and the experimental Death Trooper program of the old Galactic Empire, the Sentinels were designed not as symbolic figures but as fully operational elite soldiers with broad authority and lethal capability. The first prototypes were selected from a pool of military veterans, COMPNOR operatives, and shock troopers who had demonstrated unwavering loyalty and combat brilliance. These candidates underwent brutal psychological reconditioning and extreme physical augmentation, molded into perfect extensions of the Emperor's will.
As the Risen Empire expanded and Moffs were appointed to govern sectors, it became clear that each would require a personal force not only for defense but to enforce fear, respect, and order. The Sentinels were officially assigned as Moffguard, answering only to their designated Moff and the Emperor himself. These units were deployed during early campaigns such as the the Purge of the Dominion Enclave on Bakura, where they became infamous for their ruthlessness and their role in executing captured Force-sensitives. Their effectiveness quickly elevated their status within the military hierarchy, and the sight of black-armored Sentinels at a Moff's side became a clear warning: dissent would not be tolerated.
Over time, the legacy of the Imperial Sentinels became mythologized within the Risen Empire. They are not considered mere soldiers, but icons of discipline and control, figures whispered about in rebellion cells and feared even by loyalist officers. Their numbers remain small due to the intensity of training and the cost of their armor and systems, but their impact is profound. Stories of Sentinels walking unflinchingly through blaster fire or executing Force-wielders with terrifying efficiency have only grown their legend. Today, the Imperial Sentinels continue to serve as both bodyguards and instruments of terror—eternal shadows of the Moffs they protect and the Empire they uphold.
