Imperial Marines
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Imperial Marines was a specialized branch of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps that was active during the Galactic Civil War, presumably formed from the clone marines that preceded them within the Grand Army of the Republic. They were Imperial heavy weapons specialists used by the Galactic Empire to defend capital ships such as Imperial-class Star Destroyers. They were also used to sabotage or capture Rebel capital ships after being ferried over to them during a space battle.
They carried an E-11 blaster rifle, a MiniMag PTL missile launcher, and four thermal detonators as standard equipment. Nova Stihl served as a guard sergeant in the Imperial Marines.
Most likely after the Galactic Civil War they survived to become a part of the Imperial Navy in the days of the Imperial Remnant and the Fel, Sith and Exile Empires.
