"It was I who allowed the alliance to know the location of the shield generator. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops await them."
―Darth Sidious, to Luke Skywalker, regarding the vulnerability of the Endor shield generator[1]

Tempest Force was a legion[6] of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine's best troops.[1] A naval trooper detachment of the Force was led by Major Hewex and Lieutenant Renz.[4] Tempest Force was garrisoned on the forest moon of Endor during the Galactic Civil War, being tasked with guarding the Galactic Empire's shield generator bunker.[6] In 4 ABY,[5] the legion battled a Rebel Alliance strike team and native Ewok warriors during the Battle of Endor. The bunker was ultimately destroyed by the rebels, disabling the shield generator and allowing the Death Star it defended to also be destroyed.[1]
