Imperial Remnant

With the victory of the Galactic Alliance Triumvirate over Darth Krayt's One Sith and Galactic Empire, the once insurmountable galactic hegemon has been splintered into numerous minor factions each vying for power and control.

The Imperial Army

The Empire has the most professional, disciplined and dedicated military in the galaxy. All recruits are zealous and dogmatic, convinced the ideals of the Empire are worth upholding to prevent anarchy in the galaxy and they will proudly die for the Emperor to protect the New Order.




Stormtrooper
Role: Infantry
Armament
  • ARC-9965 Blaster Rifle
  • SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster
  • Thermal Detonators
Equipment
  • Comlink

Stormtroopers are the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. Like Star Destroyers and TIE fighters, stormtroopers served as ever present reminders of the absolute power of Emperor Palpatine. These faceless enforcers of the New Order were considered an extension of the Emperor's will, and thus they often used efficient yet usually unreasonable tactics as a way to keep thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy in line. At the height of the Empire, stormtroopers had effectively become symbols of major authority. With few exceptions, they were distinguished from all other military units by their signature white armor.



Storm Commando
Role: Special Forces
Armament
  • ARC-9965 Blaster Rifle
  • SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster
  • Thermal Detonators
Equipment
  • Reflec-coated armour
  • Comlink

The Storm Commandos were trained in live-fire exercises, giving them a sense of the reality of combat long before the regular Stormtroopers. Anti-terrorist training was conducted in a building nicknamed the Killing House. Though many commandos failed to survive their exercises, the rest learned rapidly, allowing them to become better soldiers. The commandos also experienced near-death torture to train them in resisting interrogation, and many commandos were left mentally scarred from the experience.



All Terrain Scout Transport
Role: Light Cavalry
Armament (Modular)
  • Twin Blaster Cannon
  • Light Twin Blaster Cannon
  • Concussion Grenade Launcher
Equipment
  • Comlink
  • Ground-penetrating Sensor Systems

Colloquially known as a "chicken walker" because of its shape and walking motion, the AT-ST was a light, heavily-armed, ground combat vehicle, and able to trek various environments. The stock model was equipped with a chin-mounted, double blaster cannon, a light E-Web twin blaster cannon on the port side, a concussion grenade launcher on the starboard side of its head. The AT-ST was designed to be a recon, hit-and-run vehicle. It could withstand standard blaster fire, but was vulnerable to heavy laser fire and missiles, as well as physical attacks to the legs and the side of the head.



All Terrain Anti-Aircraft
Role: Anti-Aircraft
Armament (Modular)
  • Anti-aircraft Flak Pod
Equipment
  • Comlink
  • Electronic Countermeasures

The AT-AA had four stubby legs and lizard-like locomotion, along with a low profile not seen in other Imperial walkers. On most models, the only weapon was a turreted flak pod. The AT-AA also carried electronic countermeasure systems that could scramble missile guidance systems, thus lowering the risk of missile strikes.



All Terrain Armored Transport
Role: Heavy Cavalry
Armament (Modular)
  • 2x Heavy Laser Cannons
  • 2x Medium Repeating Blasters
Equipment
  • Comlink
  • Sensor Array
Complement
  • 5x Speeder Bikes
  • 40x Soldiers

The AT-AT Walker, was a major part of the Galactic Empire's motor-pool. Carrying a vast amount of fire power and being heavily armored, the AT-AT was arguably the most feared and effective land vehicle in the Imperial Army, and enjoyed a long life span, from the Clone Wars to the Second Imperial Civil War, over 150 years later. However, it was also known for its relatively slow speed.





Nune-class Imperial Shuttle
Role: Transport
Armament
  • Medium Laser Cannon Battery
  • ?x Medium Laser Cannons
  • ?x Double Heavy Laser Cannons
Complement
  • 35x Soldiers

The Nune-class shuttle had a much larger capacity for cargo or people than previous Imperial shuttles such as the Lambda-class and Theta-class. It also kept the folding wings feature of those classes, but unlike its precursors it could land with its wings unfolded. When armed, Nune-class shuttles were equipped with turbolasers.





Predator-class Fighter
Role: Starfighter
Armament
  • 4x Laser Cannons
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive

Considered a successor to the older TIE/IN interceptor of more than a century before, the TIE Predator was still highly maneuverable and heavily armed, but unlike most previous TIEs, it was also equipped with hyperdrives and a deflector shield generated through its blade-shaped wings. These wings could adjust to a variety of positions, aiding the starfighter's maneuverability. They folded back fully for docking mode.



Neutralizer-class Bomber
Role: Starbomber
Armament
  • 2x Laser Cannons
  • 10x Proton Torpedoes
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive

The Neutralizer-class fighter was a multi-purpose bomber, in use by Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. Developed by Sienar Fleet Systems' engineers by adapting the designs of their Predator-class fighter, the Neutralizer was larger, bulkier, and less agile than the Predator. Featuring impressive shields for a fighter of its size, the ship was also nimble for a bomber and was capable of reaching speeds of 1,500 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. The bomber was also equipped with a Class 1.0 hyperdrive, and a navicomputer for interstellar travel.





Vigil-class Corvette
Role: Corvette
Armament
  • 3x Twin Heavy Turbolaser Turrets
  • 3x Twin Light Turbolaser Turrets
  • 3x Laser Cannon Turrets
  • ?x Medium Tractor Beam Emitters
Equipment
  • No Deflector Shields?
  • Hyperdrive
Complement
  • 200x Soldiers

With a dagger-shaped hull, heavy armament, and relatively large crew complement for its class, the Vigil class shared many iconic design features of a true destroyer. The exception to this was the command deck, which sat flush with the hull to the aft over the main drive engines, giving the Vigil class a smaller silhouette and better protection than a tall and exposed command tower.



Ardent-class Fast Frigate
Role: Frigate
Armament
  • 5x Heavy Turbolaser Batteries
  • 3x Medium Turbolaser Batteries
  • 5x Point-defense Cannon Batteries
  • 2x Tractor Beam Batteries
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive
Complement
  • ?x Nune-class Imperial Shuttles
  • 12x Predator-class Fighters
  • 200x Soldiers

The fast frigates were used as quick-strike vehicles. A common Imperial tactic was to send several Ardent-class frigates into enemy picket lines to exploit weaknesses and open gaps for other warships. They depended on their impressive shields to allow them to survive. Despite them, they still suffered more damage than most ships in the fleet due to their aggressive tactics.



Strike-class Medium Cruiser
Role: Star Cruiser
Armament
  • 20x Light Turbolasers
  • 10x Turbolaser Batteries
  • Warhead Launcher (Adv Concussion Missiles)
  • 10x Tractor Beam Projectors
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive
Complement (Configuration dependent)
  • 18x Starfighters
  • 2x AT-ST
  • 1x AT-AT
  • 340x Soldiers
  • Various Dropships

A departure from the Navy's trend towards increasingly large warships, the Strike-class cruiser was 450-meter-long Strike-class was capable of challenging larger cruisers with its surprisingly heavy load of firepower, strong shields, and high sublight speed. Armaments included 20 light turbolasers, ten turbolaser batteries, ten ion cannons, and ten tractor beam projectors. However, the storage spaces and skeletal structure proved weak against enemy fire once the shields were down.



Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer
Role: Battleship
Armament
  • 50x Heavy Turbolasers
  • 50x Turbolasers
  • 40x Ion Cannons
  • 30x Tractor Beam Projectors
  • 50x Proton Torpedo Launchers
  • Interdiction Field
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive
Complement
  • 48x Predator-class Fighters
  • 6x Nune-class Imperial Shuttles
  • 2,700x Soldiers

The Pellaeon-class was considered one of the most powerful warships in the galaxy and noted as having unmatched weapon systems and starfighter components. With its sleek outline, it presented less of a target to potential enemies, while at the same time optimizing its shield protection. The Pellaeon-class also possessed an interdiction field, capable of pulling ships out of hyperspace.



Imperious-class Star Destroyer
Role: Battleship
Armament
  • 5x Heavy Turbolaser Batteries
  • 5x Medium Turbolaser Batteries
  • 4x Heavy Ion Cannon Batteries
  • 3x Tractor Beam Projector Batteries
  • 5x Proton Torpedo Launcher Batteries
  • ?x Gravity Mines
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive
Complement
  • 48x Predator-class Fighters
  • 12x Neutralizer-class Bombers
  • 6x Nune-class Imperial Shuttles
  • 3,000x Soldiers

Compared to the Pellaeon-class, the Imperious-class was larger and more powerful, as well as more efficient in the regulation of its power. It had better shielding to the point that it could take on the full firepower of the Outer Rim Third Fleet before the shields began to falter, armor, and weapons allowing it to outgun any ship within the Imperial Fleet of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. In addition, the Imperious-class could be operated by a smaller crew. Generally, it was to the Pellaeon-class what the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer was to the preceding Imperial I-class.




Executor-class Star Dreadnought
Role: Dreadnought
Armament
  • 2,000x Heavy Turbolaser Cannons
  • 2,000x Turbolaser Cannons
  • 250x Assault Concussion Missile Tubes
  • 250 Heavy Ion Cannons
  • 40x Tractor Beam Projectors
  • 500x Point-defense Laser Cannons
Equipment
  • Deflector Shields
  • Hyperdrive
Complement
  • 144x TIE Fighters
  • 30x AT-AT
  • 40x AT-ST
  • 200x Supportcraft
  • 2x Prefabricated Garrison Bases
  • 38,000 Soldiers

The Executor-class Star Dreadnought, colloquially known as the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer or Executor-class Star Destroyer, was a heavy warship class in the Star Dreadnought league, often used as command ships and flagships in the Imperial Navy. At their prime, they were among the largest vessels in the galaxy, and were almost invincible in combat, although they were costly to operate.
