• Unit Name: Stormtrooper Legion of the Hand

• Classification: Stormtroopers
• Description: The Stormtroopers of the Hand are the mainstay of its military strength, originating from the Outer Rim, Wild Space and the Unknown Regions, they are not recruited but purchased from their parents and inducted in one of the few Arks Arxeum the Hand was operating, training them to become elite soldiers with the sole purpose to serve the Hand of the Heir. With little room for sympathy, complacency or hesitation, the Stormtroopers were indoctrinated to obey without question and hail the Heir as their supreme commander. The training brutal, the mental conditioning ruthless and their lives expandable, the Stormtroopers became quickly accustomed to death as their steady companion. Trained in all forms of combat but highly specialised in close quarters combat for deep striking operations, assault landings, urban warfare and boarding actions, they swiftly rise to the occasion of being effective frontline soldiers and vigilant security forces.

"The Sith Empire is a place of tradition and conviction, a place where the strongest rule and where those that achieve the most receive the greatest rewards. This is what sets us apart from our enemies, their best and brightest don't fight their wars, their poor, their desperate and their deluded, that is who they sent. In the Empire war is a way of life. Conquest is a right. The strongest are entitled to everything they claim. The Empire is ruled by the strongest. The Empire is the strongest. Take up your weapons, march into the heart of the Alliance and teach them why."

The Stormtroopers of the Hand are taught to be the descendants of the great Sith Empire's military, to be sons and daughters of conquerors and to strife to achieve such greatness again. The Sith must rule the Galaxy and nobody is more entitled to it than the Heir. Following the recruitment processes of the infamous Stormtrooper Corps of the past, Darth Imperius had installed the recruitment for his eventual powerbase to be long before he once more claimed the mantle of the Dark Lord. An army in the making, the Hand of the Heir was overseeing its recruitment, funding and training, to marshal a force that could be ready when the time had come.

While loyalty and obedience is absolute with no alternative or hesitation allowed, the tactics of the Hand are based around highly trained, initiative and capable small unit tactics in the Stormtroopers and especially around the junior officer corps, allowing for mobility in deployment, agility in decision-making and decision-making under a task rather than a Tarkinist-order. Thus highly capable of exploiting tactical or even operational advantages should they appear without further requirement of staff approval.
