Stormtrooper commander
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans."
- ―Darth Vader to Commander Praji[src]
Stormtrooper commanders were commanders who led Imperial stormtroopers into battle.[1] They were given an advanced ARC training which gave them sharper minds compared to the average stormtrooper, and were still as loyal.

[edit] Characteristics
The armor of stormtrooper commanders typically was superior to standard Stormtrooper armor, with sets often being equipped with Personal energy shields to offer increased protection.[1]
Most clone stormtrooper commanders wore the same uniform as their troopers did, with an exception being the Imperial sandtrooper, in which case a commander rank was shown through a sandtrooper's pauldron[2] and stormtroopers stationed on Felucia and Raxus Prime in 2 BBY, who had distinct blue markings on their armor. It is unknown, however unlikely, that the markings meant affilation to 501st Legion.[1]
A stormtrooper commander led a typical squad of stormtroopers, but they could advance into an Imperial officer's rank if they showed potential. Another common name or rank of a stormtrooper commander was Stormtrooper Officer.
