Battle of EndorEdit

Tempest Force's mission was to defend the Imperial installation on the moon.

During the Battle of Endor, they were supplemented by additional legions of stormtroopers. Tempest Force was known to consist of at least one AT-AT, at least six AT-STs, stormtroopers, Navy troopers, and many scout trooper patrols. Palpatine also implied, when revealing to Luke Skywalker onboard the Second Death Star that the Rebel forces were walking into a trap, that Tempest Force's overall size was comparable to that of a legion.
