Space Troopers
The Space Trooper is a specialized unit of infantry in the Imperial Military. These units have been trained for combat aboard starships and base-stars against enemy boarders. They're often supported by Imperial Marines and starship (or base-star) Security. Their armor is solid black, to match the dark void between stars, and they carry state-of-the-art weapons and equipment. Space troopers are trained on specialized stations in orbit of Orias III

Initial recruitment numbers were low due to the population decrease resulting from the Assault. As the numbers recovered, the recruitment numbers climbed. Currently, there are now 125,000 space troopers in service. Recruitment is at 25% of the total recruitment for the Imperial Military, a groups of 15,000 are trained to join the ranks of those who are already serving the empire.
