You mean Imperial Troopers?  The guys that originally came out in the first
Kenner line as "Death Star Trooper"?  The guys that are seen manning every
single post in every single Imperial vessel and base that isn't manned by a
Stormtrooper, Gunner, or Officer?

When did they get upgraded to "commandos"?  And where did all the normal
Imperial troops go?  If Stormtroopers are the "elite forces" (coughSScough),
and the big phallic helmet guys are "commados" now, where are the regular
"G.I." types?

Aside from that, Star Wars Comics published by Dark Horse
are Canon.  (offical Lucasfilm policy)

Hmmmm.


Well that goes without saying.  I appologise for picking my nit.

No no no, I that's cool, I wasn't aware that there was somewhere published a
thing with black Stormtrooper armor.  I know there are black Scout trooper
armor guys ("Storm Commandos") in one of the West End Games rpg books (Uh, I
think it was the Outer Rim sourcebook, but I'd have to check), though.
