Imperial Navy trooper

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Imperial Navy troopers onboard the second Death Star.

Imperial Navy troopers were soldiers assigned by the Imperial Navy as part of Imperial Fleet Regiments to serve as guards and soldiers onboard its many Star Destroyers and other installations, including the Death Stars. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin selected highly trained elite men from this organization to form the Death Star troopers. These men backed up Stormtroopers and were created to provide the navy a corps of troops separate from the Imperial Army and the Stormtrooper Corps for protection of their ships.

The Death Star troopers were the first to wear the distinctive black protective helmet and black uniform that soon spread to the other Imperial Navy trooper units.Their primary weapon was a blaster pistol usually a DH-17 or E-11.

Besides serving the Galactic Empire as soldiers and security guards, they handled hangar control traffic, monitored sensor arrays, and performed various other duties. They guarded the main conference room on the Death Stars and escorted prisoners to their cells.
