Every Death Star trooper onboard the battlestation during the Battle of Yavin, not long after, was killed when the station exploded. Chewbacca, however, broke free of his handcuffs and Skywalker began firing at the Imperials, killing Childsen and several Death Star troopers. Skywalker claimed that they were transferring a prisoner from Cell Block 1138, but Childsen, suspicious, ordered two nearby Death Star troopers to investigate. Later, several Death Star troopers were stationed alongside Security officer Shann Childsen in Detention Block AA-23, when Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, disguised as stormtroopers, arrived with Chewbacca in tow.
In 0 BBY, Death Star troopers accompanied Darth Vader while he interrogated Princess Leia Organa on the location of the Rebel Alliance's base. These soldiers were often found in support roles, like guarding detention blocks and conference rooms, controlling the deflector shields, monitoring sensor arrays, handling hangar traffic control, and manning the superlaser. To cement their new positions, these troopers wore distinctive uniforms that became a symbol of their new power.
Their advanced training meant that they served in command positions where standard troopers were found throughout the station. Ultimately, the Death Star troopers owed their loyalty to the Imperial Navy and Tarkin himself as opposed to the stormtroopers who were loyal to Emperor Palpatine. This included training that taught them skills in advanced combat as well as independent command training. Once their training was complete, the new Death Star troopers became multi-talented individuals who fulfilled a wide variety of roles which included both combat and non-combat positions throughout the battlestation. History Īs the Death Star came closer to completion, Grand Moff Tarkin sought the need to create a specially trained fighting force which were taken from the best of the Imperial Navy troopers. The Death Star troopers guarding Detention Block AA-23 carried E-11 blaster rifles and DH-17 blaster pistols. These soldiers lacked a standard sidearm, with a good number of them being unarmed. They were distinguished by their swooping black helmets. Death Star troopers wore the same uniforms as Imperial Navy troopers.
