Skin based upon the Dark Trooper from Dark Forces.
Info: As a veteran of the Clone Wars, Rom Mohc saw firsthand both the
limitations and the advantages of battle droid infantry. When he rose to
power as a general in the Imperial military, he masterminded the dark
trooper project, which would result in an advanced battle droid meant to
serve as a "super stormtrooper."
This ambitious project was developed in stages, as concept droids proved the
feasibility of Mohc's designs. The Phase One dark trooper had an unfinished
appearance, with an exposed metal skeleton cast of hardened phrik, a durable
alloy mined primarily from the Gromas moons. The trooper was a towering
humanoid,
armed with a razor-edged carving blade and arm-mounted blast shield. Its
programming was primitive, and its drive to attack was relentless.
The Phase Two trooper was much more refined, bearing a gunmetal gray armored
exterior reminiscent of stormtrooper uniforms. Equipped with a repulsorlift
pack and maneuvering jets, this massive automated soldier was extremely
agile, and typically armed with a powerful plasma shell assault cannon and
long-range explosive rockets.
The final and most powerful model was the Phase Three dark trooper. Only one
was known to exist, in the personal employ of General Mohc. A towering
goliath with broad armored shoulders, this dark trooper could operate
independently or be used as an armored powersuit. Connected to its massive
arms were a deadly cluster of firing tubes which dispensed a seemingly
endless supply of seeker rockets.
The dark troopers were first unleashed shortly after the Battle of Yavin, on
the unsuspecting Alliance installation of Tak Base. The Empire launched the
droids via hyperspace capsules, in a fashion similar to the distribution of
deep space probe droids. The inhuman soldiers tore through all resistance,
and devastated the Rebel outpost on the planet Talay. Investigating this
disturbing new assault was Alliance mercenary Kyle Katarn.
He uncovered the secret dark trooper project, and traced it back to its
source, the immense production facility aboard the Arc Hammer, General
Mohc's flagship.
Katarn infiltrated the Arc Hammer and sabotaged the titanic vessel. The
Emperor was so infuriated by the loss of the Arc Hammer, and the incredible
investment in the dark trooper project, that all research into stormtrooper
battle droids ended with Mohc's death.
