Advanced Augmentation

E-XD-Series Infiltrator Droid

High-threat recon and infiltration units, the E-XD infiltrator droids were built to resemble RQ protocol droids in their passive state. When initiating attack mode, their white optical sensors turned red, and their built-in weapons and elevated height were revealed.

One of Thrawn's scouting assets, the E-XD Series were capable of withstanding punishment in combat, possessed superior strength, and could maneuver with agility. They were also capable of rapidly scanning various objects and lifeforms and identifying them. Infiltrator droids could also cannibalize other droids and drain their power. These droids were also programmed to pilot tactical infiltration pods and to operate transmitters. Breaking Imperial protocol, the droids were fitted with a proton warhead that would self-destruct if the unit was compromised.

Terror Troopers

An experimental elite cyborg unit within the Stormtrooper Corps, the Terror Troopers were created and deployed as an intended counter to Galen Marek (rather, his subsequent renegade clones). While bounty hunter Boba Fett captured ex-Imperial Juno Eclipse as bait for Marek's clone, Darth Vader deployed the terror troopers to ambush and eliminate him. Outside of these operations, they were intended to serve as rapid assassination-and-withdrawal specialists inside enemy territory. They are easily recognizable for their fear-inspiring masks, designed to the likeness of General Grievous.

Terror Troopers have a lethal combination of impressive agility, cloaking, stun blasters, and deadly durasteel talons. Their cybernetic enhancements grants them superior strength and speed, and makes them nearly immune to all pain as they were even able to shrug off dismemberment.

Inquisitorium Dark Troopers

Utilizing General Rom Mohc's remaining Phase III Dark Trooper designs, Inquisitorius produced new suits of the armor and trained purge troopers in its operation. They would pilot the armor as superior Jedi-hunting weapons platforms.

While still using heavy weapons, Inquisitorium Dark Troopers also utilize pistols and staffs, dominating all forms of combat.

Absorptive. When the fireteam takes Energy damage, that damage is reduced by 5 (minimum of 0).

Fireteam. The fireteam can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and can move through openings large enough for a Medium humanoid. The fireteam is immune to any power or effect that would alter its form.

Reactive. The fireteam can one reaction each turn.

Actions

Multiattack. The novatrooper fireteam makes five weapon attacks, or three weapon attacks if it has half its hit points or fewer. It can substitute two of these for a grenade, if available.

Fine Blaster Rifle. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9, range 105/420 ft, one target. Hit: 10 (1d8+5) Energy damage.

Disruptor Pistols. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8, range 45/180 ft, one target. Hit: 8 (1d6+4) Acid damage.

Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 9 (1d6+5) Kinetic damage.

Massed Fire (Blaster Rifles). The fireteam fires en masse at a point within 150 feet. Each creature of the fireteam's choice in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 36 (8d8) Energy damage, or 18 (4d8) Energy damage if the fireteam has half its hit points or fewer. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.

Fragmentation Grenade (Average) (Recharge 5-6). A trooper in the fireteam throws a grenade at a point within 55 feet. Each creature within 10 feet of the target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) Kinetic damage on failure, or half as much on success.

Stealth Field Generator. The fireteam becomes invisible. Anything the fireteam is carrying is invisible as long as it is on the fireteam. The fireteam may end the invisibility as a free action. The invisibility ends if the fireteam attacks.

Reactions

Return Fire. When a creature misses the fireteam with a ranged weapon attack, the fireteam can use a reaction to make a ranged weapon attack against the creature.

CompForce

CompForce was the elite military branch of the Galactic Empire's Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR). CompForce members were known to be extreme followers of Imperial ideals, so much so that the Imperial Military disliked competition and, in their view, the arrogance (and in other cases, 'dangerous idiocy') displayed by the organization. Stormtroopers were trained to obey orders without thinking, but at the same time, they were deeply independent of the line military; CompForce units, in contrast, were embedded within the hierarchy of the Imperial Military, and their members were motivated primarily by conscious adherence to the tenets of the New Order. They were effectively security troops and political officers, answerable to the New Order's ideologues rather than the High Command; an army within the Army, designed to tighten and enforce the grip of the Imperial hierarchy and COMPNOR ideology on the military.

CompForce also had two secondary divisions, the Assault and Observation ('Observ') subdivisions. Assault was a combat unit, dispatched on special missions, while Observ was an intelligence unit that spied on (and within) Imperial Military starships and units, serving essentially as loyalty spies-- a negative reputation made worse by their rivals in Imperial Intelligence.

Selection for Observ was based on the depth of an individual's loyalty and conformism; rather than careerists or sadists, Observ personnel operated sincerely on ideological and intellectual motivations, flying in the face of the primarily professional ethos of the Navy and Army.

The differing needs of Observ and Assault units meant that, while both groups recruited by drawing volunteers from the trillions of Imperial youths in Sub-Adult Group (SAGroup) cadres, the criteria for selection were very different. Observ wanted ideologically reliable men and women, for whom a CompForce posting would be the first step on a career in service to the New Order; but Assault looked for recruits who could be conditioned to serve in combat with blind bravery.

SAGroup members volunteering for Observ might naturally expect to pass out from CompForce after a short tour and move on to a career in the line military, the ISB, or some other aspect of the New Order's institutional machine; but in contrast, only 12% of the candidates who entered Assault training even made it into front-line units. Around 20% died in live-fire exercises during training, and statistics on the training fatalities suggest significant numbers had suffered serious injury or crippling psychological trauma.

If a volunteer for Assault survived to join a front line unit, they were generally inadequately trained, thoroughly indoctrinated, and completely inured to combat hardship.

Cunning Action. On each of its turns, the trooper can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Ideology. The trooper begins combat with 10 temporary hit points. As a free action, it can expend up to 2 temporary hit points to gain a bonus to one of its attack rolls or saving throws equal to the amount expended. If it is hit with an attack roll, it can use a reaction to expend up to 2 of these temporary hit points to increase its armor class by the same amount, potentially causing the attack to miss. It regains these temporary hit points at the end of a short or long rest.

Rigid Armor. The trooper adds half its Dexterity modifier (rounded down), instead of its full Dexterity modifier, to Dexterity saving throws it makes (included).

Actions

Blaster Rifle. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 105/420 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+2) Energy damage.

Avoidance. If the veteran is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the veteran instead takes no damage on a success, and half damage on a fail.

Brave. The veteran has advantage on saving throws to resist being frightened.

Cunning Action. On each of its turns, the veteran can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Ideology. The veteran begins combat with 30 temporary hit points. As a free action, it can expend up to 4 temporary hit points to gain a bonus to one of its attack rolls or saving throws equal to the amount expended. If it is hit with an attack roll, it can use a reaction to expend up to 4 of these temporary hit points to increase its armor class by the same amount, potentially causing the attack to miss. It regains these temporary hit points at the end of a short or long rest.

Rigid Armor. The veteran adds half its Dexterity modifier (rounded down), instead of its full Dexterity modifier, to Dexterity saving throws it makes (included).

Actions

Multiattack. The CompForce Veteran makes two attacks. It can then throw a grenade as a bonus action, if available.

Imperial Armor

The might of Imperial war machines has always been a mainstay of the Galactic Empire, from their supremacy in space combat to their dominance of ground skirmishes. The effectiveness and reliability of their armor has often inspired enemies and insurgents to attempt to hijack them rather than destroy them directly.

Circuitry. The construct has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal ion or lightning damage.

Operated. The construct is operated by a variable number of pilots and gunners, who roll initiative separately.

Gunner. The construct has thirteen gunner seats and requires at least one active gunner to take any actions controlled by the gunner. A gunner is in a single station and may only use the weapon of its station, unless it uses an action to change weapon stations to one currently unoccupied. The gunner may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct. The vehicle includes one primary weapon station and twelve AP blaster stations.

Piloted. The construct has two pilot seats and requires at least one active pilot to take any actions controlled by the pilot. If the pilot is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The pilot may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct.

Heavy Plating. The exterior of the SPHA is covered in heavy armor, deflecting some fire from smaller arms. Unless the damage from a single attack or effect exceeds 25 points, the SPHA takes no damage from it. If the SPHA takes an amount of damage from a single attack or effect equal to or greater than its damage threshold, it takes damage as normal.

Target Painting. Allied humanoids within 1000 feet of the construct can use their action, bonus action, or reaction to paint a target creature it can see. The creature can use another of the options above to maintain the target painting on subsequent turns. The construct can only use its primary weapon against a target currently painted.

Troop Transport. The SPHA can transport a maximum of 3 trooper squads (CR 5) or 30 medium-sized creatures in its interior (in addition to its crew). It can deploy these passengers using its Deploy Troops action, or which can be fought by creatures inside of the SPHA.

Vulnerable Interior. The SPHA’s interior is vulnerable to damage done by grenades, mines and charges, unless it is immune to that damage. It also automatically fails all Dexterity saving throws from such effects that occur in its interior.

---

ACTIONS

Pilot. The pilot can use the Deploy Troops or Local Scan actions, if there isn't another pilot present who has already used them this turn.

Deploy Troops. The pilot deploys one trooper squad (CR 5) or up to 10 medium-sized creatures, who appear in spaces within 10 feet of the construct.

Local Scan. The pilot performs a Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check on a 50 ft cube within 100 feet of it.

Gunner. A gunner of the SPHA uses the primary weapon, if available. Gunners at the AP Blaster stations can make one attack each. A single target can only be attacked by three of the gunners on a given turn.

AP Blaster. A gunner targets a creature within 100/400 feet. The gunner either makes a ranged attack roll (+4 to hit) or imposes a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw (made with advantage if the target is beyond 400 feet). On a hit, or if the target fails the saving throw, it takes 12 (4d4+2) Energy damage.

Primary Weapon. The construct fires its primary weapon at a painted target. With the exception of the Concussion Missile Launcher, the weapon cannot fire within its normal range, and does not have disadvantage on attacks made at long range. Additionally, the primary weapon's attacks have disadvantage against creatures of size Large or smaller. These creatures also have advantage on the primary weapon's imposed saving throws.

Primary Weapon Options

Anti-Vehicle Laser (recharge 5-6). The construct fires a concentrated beam at a target within 1200/4800 feet. The target must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 75 (10d12+10) Energy damage on failure, or half as much on success. When targeting a construct with a damage threshold feature, such as Heavy Durasteel Armor, the damage threshold number is halved for this attack (rounded up).

Concussion Missile Launcher (recharge 5-6, 20/reload). The construct fires a concussion missile at a flying target within 600/2400 feet. The target and each creature within 20 feet of it must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 180 (40d8) Kinetic damage on failure or half as much on success. A target beyond 600 feet has advantage on the saving throw. This attack does not require direct line of sight.

Ion Cannon (recharge 6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range

800/3200 ft, one target. Hit: 57 (20d4+7) Ion damage. The target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, being stunned on failure. Starships of size Medium or greater have advantage on this saving throw.

Mass-Driver Cannon (recharge 6). The construct fires a heavy projectile in a straight line at range of 1200/4800 ft. Each creature in the line must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 72 (10d12+7) Kinetic damage on failure or half as much on success. Each time a creature fails the saving throw against this attack, subsequent targets hit by the projectile have a cumulative +1 bonus to the save, and the damage dealt against them cumulatively decreases by 2d12. The attack can penetrate up to 50 feet of solid terrain, granting the same cumulative bonuses to the save as above for every 10 feet of solid terrain it passes through. This attack does not require direct line of sight.

Turbolaser (recharge 4-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 1000/4000 ft, one target. Hit: 62 (10d10+7) Energy damage.

ACTIONS

Pilot. The pilot can use the Deploy Troops or Local Scan actions, if there isn't another pilot present who has already used them this turn.

Deploy Troops. The pilot deploys one trooper squad (CR 5) or up to 10 medium-sized creatures, who appear in spaces within 10 feet of the construct.

Local Scan. The pilot performs a Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check on a 50 ft cube within 100 feet of it.

Gunner. A gunner of the SPHA uses the primary weapon, if available. Gunners at the AP Blaster stations can make one attack each. A single target can only be attacked by three of the twelve gunner stations on a given turn.

AP Blaster. A gunner targets a creature within 100/400 feet. The gunner either makes a ranged attack roll (+4 to hit) or imposes a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw (made with advantage if the target is beyond 400 feet). On a hit, or if the target fails the saving throw, it takes 12 (4d4+2) Energy damage.

Primary Weapon. The construct fires its primary weapon at a painted target. With the exception of the Concussion Missile Launcher, the weapon cannot fire within its normal range, and does not have disadvantage on attacks made at long range. Additionally, the primary weapon's attacks have disadvantage against creatures of size Large or smaller. These creatures also have advantage on the primary weapon's imposed saving throws.

Primary Weapon Options

Anti-Vehicle Laser (recharge 5-6). The construct fires a concentrated beam at a target within 900/2700 feet. The target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 64 (10d10+9) Energy damage on failure, or half as much on success. When targeting a construct with a damage threshold feature, such as Heavy Durasteel Armor, the damage threshold number is halved for this attack (rounded up).

Concussion Missile Launcher (recharge 5-6, 20/reload). The construct fires a concussion missile at a flying target within 450/1800 feet. The target and each creature within 20 feet of it must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 140 (40d6) Kinetic damage on failure or half as much on success. A target beyond 450 feet has advantage on the saving throw. This attack does not require direct line of sight.

Ion Cannon (recharge 6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range

600/2400 ft, one target. Hit: 36 (20d3+6) Ion damage. The target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, being stunned on failure. Starships of size Medium or greater have advantage on this saving throw.

Mass-Driver Cannon (recharge 6). The construct fires a heavy projectile in a straight line at range of 900/3600 ft. Each creature in the line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 61 (10d10+6) Kinetic damage on failure or half as much on success. Each time a creature fails the saving throw against this attack, subsequent targets hit by the projectile have a cumulative +1 bonus to the save, and the damage dealt against them cumulatively decreases by 2d12. The attack can penetrate up to 50 feet of solid terrain, granting the same cumulative bonuses to the save as above for every 10 feet of solid terrain it passes through. This attack does not require direct line of sight.

Turbolaser (recharge 4-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 750/3000 ft, one target. Hit: 51 (10d8+6) Energy damage.

HAVw/HCVw Juggernaut Tanks

First introduced in the Clone Wars, the HAVw A6 Juggernaut (more commonly known as the Juggernaut) was a heavily armed and armored ten-wheeled tank manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. It served as a large-scale troop carrier (numerous configurations able to transport as many as 300 passengers) and main battle tank.

Its boxy, sloped hull could disperse heat and energy of incoming fire over broad areas rather than relying on ablation or attempting to reflect projectiles. With a powerful reactor supplying its complex all-wheel drive system, and each wheel independently mounted and suspended, its drive system was highly complex but impressively articulate and capable of selective power control. Inside, the accommodations included two decks of seating with a small trauma bay, and an extendable observation pod over the command deck for an impressive aerial view of the surrounding battlefield. A rear bunker housed a backup command deck, as well as the rest of the gunnery stations.

Juggernauts exercised the full force of an entire armored regiment in one vehicle, and had an impressive array of armaments, such as anti-personnel laser cannons, a dorsal turret-mounted rotary laser cannon, retractable ordnance launchers, forward mounted blasters, and one dorsal mounted heavy laser cannon. In use as military transports and battlefield support vehicles, they were far larger and faster than the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer but faced other limitations. With the exception of units seized by insurgents and subjected to unofficial modification, Juggernauts were almost never armed with artillery-grade weapons on par with those of walker units; it is likely that their wheeled design, while allowing for much higher speeds than walkers, lacked the traction to control the recoil of gratuitous heavy weapons fire.

Following the formation of the Empire, the A6 was a priority holdover and continued service into the Imperial Era, before successor HCVw models like the A9 “Turbo Tank” and “Juggernaut Transport” were introduced for more specialized function.

As part of its desire to cut military spending, the Empire slowed its orders of A6 Juggernauts from KDY, but still required the service of fast-moving armored support vehicles. In response, KDY developed the HCVw A9 ("Turbo Tank"): using the A6's base frame with a lighter arsenal and lighter armor, the A9 was capable of much higher speed and utilized deflector plating to help compensate for its stark decrease in armor strength.

Service Crews. The Juggernaut Tank, Juggernaut Transport, and Turbo Tank constructs all are assumed to have their full number of pilot and gunnery stations occupied at the beginning of battle by Navy Pilots (CR 1/8) and Imperial Engineers (CR 1/2). Depending on your DM's discretion, they might get injured or killed when the vehicle takes severe damage, limiting the number of actions taken each round from within the vehicle. If the vehicle is reduced to 0 hit points, the surviving crew within might emerge on foot at initiative count 20.

They might also have one vehicle commander and/or up to 4 engineers present within, who fulfill other roles to support the vehicle's operation. Use the Officer, Junior (CR 1/2) for the commander and Imperial Technician (CR 1/2) for engineers. For one additional crew member, the vehicle's challenge rating increases by 1, and increases by 1 again with 3 and 5 additional crew. The following are their available actions.

Vehicle Commander

Direction. The vehicle commander grants a d8 to a crew member of its choice within the construct. When the crew member makes an attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it can roll the d8 and add it to the total of the roll. A crew member may only benefit from one of these d8 at a time.

Emergency Support. When another crew member of the construct makes a saving throw, or makes an attack roll at disadvantage, the vehicle commander can use its reaction to roll 1d4 and add the value rolled to the crew member's roll.

Engineer

Initiate Repairs. The engineer expends one of the construct's hit die and heals the construct for the value rolled + the construct's Constitution modifier.

Mitigate Damage. As a reaction when the construct takes damage, an engineer expends a hit die of the construct and reduces the damage of a successful attack against the Construct by 16 (1d20+5), to a minimum of 1. Even if this reduces the damage below a construct's damage threshold feature, the damage is still taken.

Low Altitude Assault Transport (Law Enforcement)

The LAAT/le patrol gunship, also known as patrol transport, police gunship, known first as the Republic police gunship and later as the Imperial patrol transport, was a gunship introduced during the Clone Wars to perform law enforcement functions on the Republic capital of Coruscant. The joint project between Santhe and Rothana Heavy Engineering was designed to be sleeker and smaller (as well as less heavily armed) than the LAAT/i Republic attack gunship, though it still carried twin forward cannons, a tailgun, and twin missile launchers. The lower-profile patrol transport was better suited for policing the dense, planet-wide city while reducing the risks of collateral damage, and later saw a broader use as a patrol craft on various worlds.

Challenge 11 (7,200 XP)

---

Circuitry. The construct has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal ion or lightning damage.

Piloted. The construct requires an active pilot to take any actions, and if the pilot is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The pilot may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct. The weapon attack rolls assume a +3 proficiency bonus of the pilot and/or copilot.

Spotlight. The LAAT/le is equipped with a search spotlight that shines up to 150 feet away. While the spotlight is active, when the LAAT/le moves more than 30 feet, it chooses a new target point for the spotlight. While the spotlight is shining in an area, all creatures within 15 feet of the target point are considered blinded, have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, and gain no stealth benefits from obscured terrain or cover. The spotlight has 10 AC and 10 hit points.

Starfighter Armor. The exterior of the LAAT/le is covered in light armor, deflecting some fire from smaller arms. Unless the damage from a single attack or effect exceeds 10 points, the LAAT/le takes no damage from it. If the LAAT/le takes an amount of damage from a single attack or effect equal to or greater than its damage threshold, it takes damage as normal.

Transport. The LAAT/le can transport a maximum of 10 medium creatures (in addition to its crew) and 10 tons of cargo, which it can deploy using its Deploy Troops legendary action, or which can be fought by creatures inside of the LAAT/le.

Vulnerable Interior. The LAAT/le’s interior is vulnerable to damage done by grenades, mines and charges, unless it is immune to that damage. It also automatically fails all Dexterity saving throws from such effects that occur in its interior.

Actions

Multiattack. The LAAT/le's pilot makes two attacks with its twin repeating blaster cannons against a target it can see. If the pilot is flying with a copilot, the LAAT/le can make an additional attack with its tail laser cannon.

Twin Repeating Blaster Cannons. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8, range 150/300 ft, one target. Hit: 23 (4d8+5) Energy damage.

Tail Laser Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8, range 100/200 ft, one target. Hit: 18 (2d12+5) Energy damage.

Suppressing Fire (Recharge 5-6). The LAAT/le lays down burst fire on a 50-foot long, 5-foot wide line within 150 feet. Each creature in the area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 23 (4d8+5) Energy damage on failure or half as much on success.

Twin Missile Launcher (3/Day). The LAAT/le fires two thermite missiles at targets within 150/300 ft and within 50 feet of each other, using a +6 bonus to the attack rolls. On a hit, the targets take 16 (2d10+5) kinetic damage. Hit or miss, the missiles then explode. Each creature within 15 feet of the target point must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) Fire damage on failure, or half as much on success. In addition, creatures who fail are knocked prone.

Legendary Actions

The LAAT/le Patrol Gunship can take 2 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The LAAT/le Patrol Gunship regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Deploy Passengers (Costs 2 Actions). The LAAT/le mobilizes some of its passengers for deployment. If landed, it deploys up to the entirety of its passengers in any unoccupied spaces within 10 feet. If flying and up to 50 feet off the ground, up to 6 of the humanoid passengers inside can use rappelling cables to safely descend to the ground. Any passengers who rappel in this way do not get a turn in the initiative until the next round.

Move Spotlight. The LAAT/le moves its spotlight to another spot within range.

Avoidance. If the Commando is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the Commando instead takes no damage on success, and half damage on failure.

Seasoned Combatant. The Commando is trained in two Fighting Styles, or one Fighting Style and one Fighting Mastery.

Actions

Multiattack. The Commando makes two weapon attacks. It can then throw a grenade as a bonus action, if available.

Bash. Melee Weapon Attack: +5, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+2) Kinetic damage.

Blaster Rifle. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7, range 105/420 ft, one target. Hit: 9 (1d8+4) Energy damage.

Blaster Volley (Recharge 5-6). The Commando shoots a rain of deadly blaster bolts in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d8 +4) Energy damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Fragmentation Grenade (3/Day). The Commando throws a grenade at a point within 40 feet. Each creature within 10 feet of the point must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 11 (2d10) kinetic damage on a failed save, or half as much as on success.

Fragmentation Charge (1/Day). The Commando spends thirty seconds setting a fragmentation charge, choosing whether to set it to a 6-second timer or sync it to a remote detonator. When detonated, the breaching charge explodes in a 15-foot cone. Each creature within the cone must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 50 (20d4) kinetic damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. If affixed to a creature, that creature has disadvantage on the saving throw. Objects, structures, and other surfaces have disadvantage on the saving throw. If affixed to the object, structure, or surface, it instead automatically fails this saving throw.

Reactions

Uncanny Dodge. The Commando halves the damage that it takes from an attack that hits it.

The Commander's base challenge rating does not account for the presence of her ID10 Seeker Droid. With it, her challenge rating increases to 20 (25,000 XP).

Brave. The Commander has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Combat Supremacy (1/Turn). Once per turn, the Commander may use any Combat Maneuver she meets the requirements of. Her maneuver save DC is 19, and her Superiority Dice is a d12.

Defiant (1/Day). Whenever the Commander rolls for an attack, skill check, or saving throw, she can choose to roll 1d12 and grant the result as a bonus to her d20 roll. If she uses this on a death saving throw and the total for the roll is 20 or greater, she regains 1 hit point.

Enhanced Weapons. The Commander's weapon attacks are enhanced for the purposes of ignoring damage resistance and immunity.

ID10 Seeker Droid Companion. The Commander has a Custom ID10 Seeker Droid that docks with her back armor. While attached to her, it uses her armor class with three-quarters cover, and attempts to attack it are made with disadvantage. Using the droid, the Commander can cast several tech powers (listed under her actions). Once the Commander uses one of the ID10's named special tech powers, they must recharge (9-10). For each successful attack the Commander makes while the droid is recharging, her d10 rolls for the recharge increase by 1, reset when the droid is recharged. If the ID10 is reduced to 0 hit points, the Commander can no longer cast its tech powers until it is repaired.

Keen Hearing and Sight. The Commander has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on hearing or sight.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Commander fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Multitasker. The Commander can make two reactions reach round. She can only use one reaction on a given turn.

Roguelike. The Commander has the following standard Operative class features: Cunning Action, Evasion, Elusive, and Uncanny Dodge.

Skirmisher. Other creatures have disadvantage on attacks of opportunity against the Commander.

Snapshooting Mastery. Other creatures provoke an opportunity attack when they move to within 30 feet of the Commander, and she can use her blaster weapons when making opportunity attacks. She does not suffer disadvantage on ranged attacks when a hostile creature is within 5 ft of her.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn). Whenever the Commander has advantage on an attack, or a creature has disadvantage on a Dexterity saving throw the Commander imposes and fails the save, they take an additional 35 (10d6) damage of the attack's type.

Actions

Multiattack. The Commander makes four attacks with her TL-50 Heavy Repeater (burst or rapid fire) or Riot Baton. She can replace one attack for a stock strike or frag grenade, or three attacks to use one of the ID10 Seeker Droid's abilities.

Riot Baton. Melee Weapon Attack: +8, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 13 (3d6+2) Kinetic damage. When the Commander makes her first attack on her turn using the baton, she can choose to suffer a -1 or -2 penalty to attack and damage rolls with the weapon this turn and gains the same bonus to AC until the start of her next turn.

Frag Grenade (Recharge 5-6). The Commander throws a grenade, choosing a point within 40 feet. Each creature within 10 feet must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 22 (4d10) kinetic damage on a failed save, or half as much as on a successful one.

Heavy Repeater (Burst). The Commander targets a 10 foot cube or 5 foot wide-by-20 foot long line within 80 feet. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 12 (2d6+5) energy damage on failure or half on success. If a target creature has a feature that would allow it to otherwise take no damage on a successful Dexterity saving throw, it instead takes 5 energy damage.

Heavy Repeater (Rapid). The Commander targets a creature within 80/320 feet with rapid fire. The target creature must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 19 (4d6+5) Energy damage on failure or half on success. If the creature has a feature that would allow it to otherwise take no damage on a successful Dexterity saving throw, it instead takes 5 energy damage.

ID10: Area Scan (Recharge 9-10). The ID10 uses its Area Scan ability.

ID10: Ion Pulse (Recharge 9-10). The ID10 uses its Ion Pulse ability, if available.

ID10: Techcasting. The ID10 casts a tech power. If it is docked onto the Commander and the power targets itself, it can choose to have the power target the Commander as well.

Reactions

ID10: Energy Shield (Recharge 9-10). When a creature makes a successful attack against the Commander while the ID10 is docked, the ID10 generates an energy shield that adds +5 to the Commander's AC until the beginning of her next turn. This includes the triggering attack.

ID10: Sabotage (Recharge 9-10). The ID10 uses its Sabotage ability.

Leadership (3/Day). Whenever a nonhostile creature that the Commander can see within 30 feet of her makes an attack roll or a saving throw, the Commander can grant the creature a d4 to its roll, provided it can hear and understand the Commander.

Circuitry. The construct has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal ion or lightning damage.

Operated. The construct is operated by both a pilot and gunner and roll initiative separately.

Gunner. The construct requires an active gunner to take any actions controlled by the gunner, and if the gunner is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The gunner may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct.

Piloted. The construct requires an active pilot to take any actions, and if the pilot is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The pilot may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct.

Prone Deficiency. If the construct is knocked over and falls prone, it can’t right itself and is incapacitated until upright again.

Towering. Creatures of Medium size or smaller can stand in the AT-ST’s space. Additionally, when creatures have dominance against the AT-ST, it is decreased by 2 stages.

Vulnerable Interior. The AT-ST’s interior is vulnerable to damage done by grenades, mines and charges, unless it is immune to that damage. It also automatically fails all Dexterity saving throws from such effects that occur in its interior.

Actions

Pilot. The pilot of the AT-ST uses its its Frightful Presence. It can then attack once with the Chin Mounted Blasters and Stomp.

Chin Mounted Blasters. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 200/400 ft, one target. Hit: 16 (2d10+5) Energy damage.

Stomp. All creatures standing within the AT-ST's space or within 5 feet of it must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (2d12+4) Kinetic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the AT-ST's choice that is within 80 feet of the AT-ST and aware of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the AT-ST's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Gunner. The gunner attacks twice with the cheek-mounted blasters and once with the tertiary weapon, if available.

Cheek Mounted Blasters. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 120/240 ft, one target. Hit: 2d8+5 Energy damage.

Circuitry. The construct has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal ion or lightning damage.

Operated. The construct is operated by both a pilot and gunner and roll initiative separately.

Gunner. The construct requires an active gunner to take any actions controlled by the gunner, and if the gunner is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The gunner may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct.

Piloted. The construct requires an active pilot to take any actions, and if the pilot is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The pilot may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct.

Prone Deficiency. If the construct is knocked over and falls prone, it can’t right itself and is incapacitated until upright again.

Towering. Creatures of Medium size or smaller can stand in the AT-ST’s space. Additionally, when creatures have dominance against the AT-ST, it is decreased by 2 stages.

Vulnerable Interior. The AT-ST’s interior is vulnerable to damage done by grenades, mines and charges, unless it is immune to that damage. It also automatically fails all Dexterity saving throws from such effects that occur in its interior.

Actions

Pilot. The pilot of the AT-ST uses its its Frightful Presence. It can then attack once with Stomp.

Stomp. All creatures standing within the AT-ST's space or within 5 feet of it must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 19 (2d12+6) Kinetic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the AT-ST's choice that is within 80 feet of the AT-ST and aware of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the AT-ST's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Gunner. The gunner of the AT-ST can attack three times with the Cheek Mounted Blasters.

Cheek Mounted Blasters. The AT-ST targets a creature within 120/480 feet with rapid fire. A target creature has to make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 42 (8d8+6) Energy damage on failure or half as much on success.

Circuitry. The tank has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal ion or lightning damage.

Heavy Durasteel Armor. The outer layer of the tank is covered in heavy armor, making it difficult for smaller arms to damage it. Unless the damage from a single attack or effect exceeds 15 points, the tank takes no damage from that attack. If the tank takes an amount of damage from a single attack or effect equal to or greater than its damage threshold, it takes damage as normal.

Piloted. The tank requires an active pilot to take any actions, and if the pilot is subjected to any conditions that the construct is not immune to, the construct is also subjected to those conditions. The pilot may take their own action or one of the actions granted by the construct.

Vulnerable Interior. The tank’s interior is vulnerable to damage done by grenades, mines and charges, unless it is immune to that damage. It also automatically fails all Dexterity saving throws from such effects that occur in its interior.

Actions

Multiattack. The tank uses its Frightful Presence and makes two light blaster cannon attacks. As an action, an onboard gunner can open the top hatch and deploy a light repeater turret. Once set up, the gunner can make two light repeater attacks after the tank's attacks are made.

Light Blaster Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 100/400 ft, one target. Hit: 17 (2d10+6) Energy damage. The weapon is forward-mounted and can fire in a 45-degree arc.

Medium Laser Cannon Volley (Recharge 5-6). The tank launches a barrage of cannon fire at a point within 120 feet. Each creature within 20 feet of that point must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 65 (9d12+6) energy damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the tank's choice that is within 80 feet of the tank and aware of it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the tank's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Light Repeater (Deployed Only). An exposed gunner targets a creature within 50/200 feet with rapid fire. The target creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (2d6+3) energy damage on failure.

Optional Secondary Loadouts

Artillery

Long-Range Volley (Recharge 6). The tank fires at a target point within 1200 feet and at least 50 feet away, firing a blast from its heavy laser cannon that explodes in a 15-foot radius. Each creature within the radius must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 72 (11d12) Energy damage on failure or half as much on success. Creatures who roll a natural 1 on this saving throw take maximum damage.

Contraband Armory

In a Galaxy perpetually embroiled in war, weapons scarcely stay the same. Below are some confiscated tools of the enterprising warrior's arsenal, ready to conquer any obstructions with gratifying vigor:

Smart Disc

Exotic Vibroweapon
5500 cr | 3 lbs | 1d6 Kinetc

Returning, Smart (15, +2), Specialized (Smart), Thrown (range 30/90), special

If you know a target's location, a thrown attack with the disc ignores the target's cover or obstruction if it does not have at least as much cover on all sides.

When applying vibroweapon modifications, you can choose to apply a smart interface blaster mod of appropriate rarity for your chassis.

Vibro-saw

Martial Vibroweapon
11750 cr | 19 lbs | 2d4 Kinetic

Defensive 1, Dexterity 15, Heavy, Two-Handed, special

The vibro-saw requires a power cell to function, and runs for up to ten minutes per power cell. You can replace the power cell with a bonus action.

When you deal damage with the vibro-saw, and you roll the maximum value on a damage die, you can reroll that damage die and add it’s value to the damage dealt by the initial roll. You may reroll and add again if the new roll is also maximum value. On a given attack, you can roll an additional number of damage dice in this manner equal to your proficiency bonus. If you are not proficient with the vibro-saw, you can only roll one additional damage die.

Battlefront Domination

Where its opponents are borderless, unreliable in number, and of inconsistent firepower, the Empire's overwhelming numbers, nigh-endless resources, and vast complement of weapons and war machines allow it to dominate any front with the proper preparation. As the game master running the Empire, it is essential to depict their strength in numbers and appropriate response to opposition, and this section aims to give you accurate values with example compositions to effectively simulate it. While your players may only ever face squads and/or a platoon in direct battle, the sheer expanse of Imperial reinforcements remains a clear and present deterrent, and can cast a long shadow over the worlds it intervenes upon and the entirety of factions and stories at play within.

Much of the following has been drawn from Star Wars: Imperial Handbook by Daniel Wallace. The book is a recommended tool for understanding the philosophy of absolutes, diversity of assets, and martial presence of the Empire.

Armor Platoon

Composition: 4x AT-AT (CR 19, 22000 xp), K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transport (CR 10, 5900 xp)
Alt: 8x TX-225 Occupier Tank (CR 6, 2300 xp) (half housing Officer, Junior (CR 1/2, 100 xp)), K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transport (CR 10, 5900 xp), 10x Trooper (CR 1/2, 100 xp)
Alt: Turbo Tank (CR 15, 13000 xp)
Utility: Immediate armor supremacy with support for supply and repair at the ready.

Special Missions Platoon

Composition: 2x Sharpshooter Squad, Heavy Weapons Squad, Engineering Squad
Utility: Designed around accomplishing missions which require a few elite troops rather than normal military operations.

Scout Platoon

Composition: 2x Line Squad, 2x Scout Squad
Utility: Specializes in reconnaissance, but during active comms-jamming, may be utilized as messengers.

Company

Structure: Four Platoons
Commander's Rank: Captain
Capability: Capturing a City
A company is large enough to incur maintenance, administration, logistics, medical, technical, and resupply needs to be fulfilled by support personnel. Much of these needs are fulfilled by military-grade support droids. Given that support is fulfilled, the company is the smallest type of unit which can operate autonomously of its parent formation for any extended period of time.

Drop Company

Composition: Heavy Weapons Platoon, 2x Line Platoon, Armor Platoon, Trooper, Captain (CR 4, 1100 xp)
Utility: Scouts and pathfinders who operate behind enemy lines, gathering operations intelligence for use in later Imperial invasions.

Artillery Company/Battery

Composition: 16x SPHA (CR 19, 22000 xp) OR 16x SPMA (CR 15, 13000 xp), Trooper, Captain (CR 4, 1100 xp)
Alt: 16x XX-10 Turbolaser Tower (CR 9, 5000 xp), Officer, Junior (CR 1/2, 100 xp)
Alt: 32x SP.9 AIAV (CR 10, 5900 xp), Trooper, Captain (CR 4, 1100 xp)
Utility: Sixteen heavy artillery pieces, or thirty-two light artillery pieces, with accompanying crews.

Armor Company

Composition: (Attack Armor Company) 3x Armor Platoon, Heavy Weapons Platoon, Trooper, Captain (CR 4, 1100 xp); (Breakthrough Armor Company) 4x Armor Platoon, Trooper, Captain (CR 4, 1100 xp)
Utility: The combination of heavy walkers and armored repulsortanks, arranged into two formations:

Attack Armor: Battlefield versatility focus.

Breathrough Armor: Concentrated destruction focus.

Special Missions Company

Composition: 3x Special Missions Platoon, Scout Platoon, Trooper, Captain (CR 4, 1100 xp)
Utility: Intended to handle even impossible tasks.

Battalion

Structure: Four Companies
Commander's Rank: Major
Capability: Capturing a Major Urban Center
Frequently assigned to planetary suppression roles, battalions are the common deployment standard against known or suspected rebel presences. In addition to their standard and specialized companies, battalions also include security personnel and droids, as a measure to maintain order within the ranks and retain anti-espionage countermeasures.

Repulsorlift Battalion

Composition: 3x Repulsorlift Company, Scout Company
Utility: Intended for reconnaissance, enemy pursuit, minor skirmishes, and taking lightly-held objectives.

Artillery Battalion

Composition: Heavy Weapons Company, 3x Artillery Battery
Utility: Long-range domination, with defensive armor intended for protection during deployment and redeployment phases.

Armor Battalion

Composition: Breakthrough Armor Company, 2x Attack Armor Company, Repulsorlift Company
Utility: Effective combination of speed and firepower, intended for attack and mobile defense.

Special Missions Battalion

Composition: 4x Special Missions Company
Utility: The largest Special Missions formation.

Regiment

Structure: Four Battalions
Commander's Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
Capability: Capturing a Territorial Region
A formidable military formation that has elevated demands of support and resupply. A regimental headquarters is equipped with its own manufacturing facilities to produce spare parts for its vehicles and defensive weaponry.

Line Armor Regiment: Balance between heavy and repulsorlift armor

Vanguard Armor Regiment: A majority of heavy armor, with faster repulsorlift craft as additional components

Battlegroup

Structure: Four Regiments
Commander's Rank: Colonel
Capability: Capturing a Continent
Often a specialized or regional unit of military forces, a Battlegroup is committed only for major offenses against a known concentration of enemy resistance. Battlegroups are capable of stand-alone operations where a well-organized military resistance controls an area of a planet, and also serve as the primary tactical subdivisions of a Corps deployed for a full-scale planetary conquest campaign. Individual Regiments or Battalions can be detached to deal with low-level insurgency or a specific focused target, or to support a Navy operation.

A Battlegroup's commanding officer (CO) is typically at least a High Colonel, although it is possible for the CO to be as senior as a Major General. A Battlegroup has the principle staff of five officers (SG1 to SG5), with the SG5 (Battlegroup "Headquarters" officer) directing a 4-man "substaff" (SG51 to SG54). In addition there are 188 support personnel and two security platoons of 76 troopers for a total of 274 personnel.

Corps

Structure: Four Battlegroups
Commander's Rank: Major General
Capability: Capturing a Planet
Perhaps the most useful and cohesive of the higher-level formations within the Empire, a Corps is sufficent in size and power to capture and hold a planet. Alongside their four central battlegroups, each Corps is complemented with an auxiliary battlegroup of support troops and fighter craft.

A Corps HQ-- also the basis of the Imperial garrison of a world-- consists of a Major General and five staff officers (SP1-SP5), each of whom has two staff officers of their own (SP11-SP52), along with 388 support personnel, a security company of 156 troopers and six picket platoons under the command of major general or his second-in-command. The HQ is also burdened with 3 CompForce support platoons (114 personnel total) whose job was to support all CompForce units assigned to the corps, although their "support" is rarely adequate. Fifty ISB agents are also assigned to the corps HQ to ensure loyalty and provide intelligence, although it is the HQ's lone Imperial Intelligence agent who provides 15 to 20 percent of intelligence used by the corps. The corps contains a huge number of droids: upwards of 2,000 in total from MSE-6 mouse droids to I2F-5 and I2F-73 industrial droids. These droids form the basis of an impressive industrial complex which can transform even crude materials into anything from blaster packs to repulsorlift engines. So long as the complex is operating, the corps can operate indefinitely.

These garrison HQs serve as organizing points for rapid mobilization, and in a crisis quickly take command of units as they are transferred into the theater of operations. Under normal circumstances, much of the garrison commander's duties are taken up with representing Imperial authority on their planet, and thus there are often civilian agents associated with the corps HQ including diplomatic, medical, trade, scientific and technical personnel.

Corps as Units and Branches

Army

Structure: Four Corps
Commander's Rank: General
Capability: Capturing a System
An Imperial army is commanded by a full General, consisting of a nominal total of 193,644 front-line soldiers in an establishment strength of 293,686 personnel.

The headquarters staff and support element of an army is larger than two full battalions for a total of 1,855 soldiers and twice as many droids. It has five staff officers (SA1 to SA5) and ten substaff officers (SA11 through SA52), a security company (152 soldiers) and six independent perimeter platoons (total 228 soldiers), 200 ISB agents for intelligence and counter-intel, three companies of COMPNOR "observers" (each 152 personnel plus a command element of five for a total of 471), four Imperial Intelligence representatives and 784 support personnel.

An Imperial Army is composed of one of each of the four Corps. Until the last years of the Empire, an army was rarely deployed as a single formation on a single planet, but it was designed to operate in concert with a standard troop squadron of the Imperial Navy. Deployment of the entire formation together began to be considered after the Battle of Yavin.

An average Sector generally contains four such surface armies, which serve as the main, planetary-assault, and surface-warfare force for the Moff's regime; along with a number of garrisons built around Corps HQs, that sum forms the Systems Army. Sector Armies are at the absolute command of the Surface Marshal, a title held often by the Moff themselves, but also granted to some senior subordinates and high-level, experienced, and loyal officers.

The Imperial Navy

Leadership: Naval Command / Admiralty
Jurisdiction: Space Warfare
Order of Battle: Line > Squadron > Systems Force > Sector Group

Line

Structure: 4-24x Starships
Commander's Rank: Senior Captain
Capability: Space Combat with Amorphous Tactics
The most basic combat formation in the Imperial Navy, and the smallest organizational unit used for space combat.
In addition to the seven types of lines, the Imperial Navy considers an Imperial-class Star Destroyer a line in itself. An Imperial-class Star Destroyer is able to act as an attack line and its complement of starfighters as a skirmish line, but the decision to field a ship equivalent to a heavy cruiser as a line unto itself has been more a political tactic to create demand for additional Star Destroyer production.

Squadron

Structure: 2-4x Lines
Commander's Rank: Admiral/ Commander
Capability: Control of a Single System
A squadron is the largest concentration of ships normally assigned to a single system.

Fighter Wing

Structure: 6x Starfighter Squadrons
Commander's Rank: Colonel/Wing Commander (subbordinate to a ship's CO when part of its complement)
Capability: Starfighter Superiority
The Empire's core starfighter organization in combat. Composed of six squadrons of 12 fighters, a Fighter Wing (or Attack Wing) floods the battle with fast-moving fighters to overwhelm and crush enemy snubfighters, as well as launch bombing raids on larger ships. TIE/ln superiority fighters make up four of the squads, while TIE/sa bombers and TIE/in interceptors fill the additional two.

As new, more powerful TIE-line variants emerged, the battles in which they were deployed saw these variants replace roughly 1/6th to 1/3rd of the ships of the same role.

Systems Force

Structure: 1-4x Squadrons
Commander's Rank: Systems Admiral / Commodore
Capability: Control of Multiple Star Systems
Intended to combine several squadrons and utilize a typical ship count of 90, most systems forces contain only a single squadron. As a result, Imperial Starfleet Order of Battle lends flexibility to Commodores to pool the whole of their naval resources, shaping them as objectives demand. In practice, the systems force has at least six possible pooling scenarios.

Force Superiority

Composition: 3x Battle Squadron, Light Squadron
Alt: 4x Battle Squadron
Utility: Maintain space superiority and elimination of hostile craft activity.

Force Escort

Composition: 2x Heavy Squadron, 2x Light Squadron
Utility: Protection of crucial shipments and economically essential utilities; search-and-destroy missions against active pirates.

Transport Force

Composition: 4x Troop Line, Heavy Squadron, Light Squadron
Utility: Deploying troops for the Imperial Army and Stormtrooper Corps; command center services for surface operations.

System Bombard

Composition: 3x Bombard Squadron, Light Squadron
Utility: Planetary bombardment.

Force Technical Services

Composition: 8x Shuttle or Transport, 2x Frigate or Corvette
Utility: Rapid transportation of mechanical specialists to vital work sites.

Force Support

Composition: 120x Transport, 2x Frigate or Corvette
Utility: Resupply of Imperial depots.

Fleet

Structure: 2-4x Systems Forces
Commander's Rank: Fleet Admiral
Capability: Control of a Sector
Unlike the previous tiers that are commonly bound to specific systems/ a set of systems, fleets are designated as "sector resources" and are allowed to operate anywhere in their sector. A fleet is the smallest unit transferred between sectors, and as they are composed of multiple systems forces (typically up to 400 ships), thousands of potential fleet combinations and alignments exist.

Bombard Fleet

Composition: 2x System Bombard, 2x Force Escort
Utility: Standby in sectors where Imperial response to rebel forces is projected to fail; planetary annihilation without concern for local infrastructure.

Deepdock Fleet

Composition: Force Escort, 280x assorted ships
Utility: Support of two space-based mobile shipyards.

Support Fleet

Composition: 560x Transport
Utility: Vital noncombatant formations for securing logistics and maintaining supply lines.

Sector Group

Structure: 4x Superiority Fleets, 800x assorted starships
Commander's Rank: High Admiral/ Moff
Capability:
The sum total of Naval strength which the Empire expects to commit to a normal sector.
Sector Groups are largely drawn from the Planetary Security Forces, nationalized after the Declaration of a New Order, with its combat forces split between force superiority and force escort, and separate fleet commands for troop transport, bombardment, deepdock and support fleets. In practice, Sector Groups are rarely at their full establishment strength, sometimes lacking enough discrete forces to justify dividing the group into separate superiority and escort fleets.

The Support Service Branch

The Support Service Branch provides services to allow Navy personnel to carry out their duties. It has at least five branches: Ordnance, Gunnery, Communications, Biological, and Astrogation. Ordnance deals with the installation and maintenance of various naval ships' weapons systems. Gunnery supplies personnel to man the weapons systems. Communications controls traffic and handles information systems. Biological handles research and provides medical services, and Astrogation continuously calculates hyperspace routes alongside other navigation-related matters.

In addition to these four main branches, there are also several divisions within the Imperial Navy.

• Imperial Navy Intelligence commences intelligence-gathering activities.
• The Navy's secret elite force is known as the Special Navy Force.
• The Imperial Navy Research, Development and Engineering Center is responsible for developing new Imperial warships (at least since prior to the Battle of Endor).
• The Special Forces carries out spec-ops for the Navy on foot.
• Imperial Supply might be considered a division in the Imperial Navy, due to the Academy system's Rhinnal academy supplying training for both Merchant Services (the civilian auxiliary to the Imperial Navy) and the Imperial Supply Fleet. As a result, even though it is technically civilian in nature, the Merchant Services has indirect ties to the Imperial Navy.
• Although technically being support branches of the Imperial Military overall, the Imperial Exploration Corps as well as the Imperial Survey Corps also are attached to the Imperial Navy, with the Navy also utilizing both groups' studies to determine which worlds to conquer and exploit (although they generally do this without the knowledge of the actual members of both corps).
• The Emperor's Special Reserve Guard is an elite force of starfighter pilots that aretasked with aiding the Emperor.

Torpedo Spheres

As slow-moving planetary bombardment battle stations roughly the size of I-Class Star Destroyers, Torpedo Spheres are assets of Battle Station Operations (BSO), a separate agency from the Imperial Army and Navy within the Imperial military. As Navy operations require planetary bombardment, they are able to requisition use of Torpedo Spheres, which are operated by BSO personnel.

Ships By Class

The following list categorizes common Imperial craft by class. It is both incomplete and open to interpretation as some craft fit multiple classes and others had only minor affiliation with the Empire.

The Stormtrooper Corps

Leadership: Stormtrooper Command
Jursidiction: Enforcement/ Special Forces
Order of Battle: Squad > Platoon > Company > Battalion > Regiment > Legion
The Stormtrooper Corps functions as special forces of the Empire, taking commands directly from the Emperor, the Supreme Commander, and the Moff to which they are assigned.

Their formations mirror the Imperial Army's lower-level structure, but unlike the Army, the Legion (equivalent to the Army's Battlegroup) is the highest level in the Stormtroopers' command structure. Because it is the maximum size, and that some legions are reinforced by other units, their numbers can swell up to as much as six Regiments. The legion's mere deployment and parading also act as a form of psychological warfare, being adept at manipulating the psychology of dominance while shielded in the eerie anonymity of their armor. Extensive indoctrination also produces unswerving loyalty to the Empire: throughout the entire Galactic Civil War, very few attempts to bribe, blackmail or seduce a Stormtrooper have succeeded. Stormtroopers are trained to think of themselves as expendable and to ignore casualties within their own ranks beyond a tactical standpoint in order to achieve the objective. Because of all these factors, they are considered the ideal front-line force against concentrations of rebel forces.

Unlike the Army and Navy, stormtrooper units do not include support personnel. Despite this, however, the stormtroopers have no issue with gaining enough supplies to maintain the overall sizeable amount within the Corps, in addition to siphoning off at least some supplies from the normal chain of logistics.

Specializations

Other than entire divisions with special training and armor for standard operations in environmental extremes, many stormtrooper units are outfitted with a number of specialized weapons and equipment for unique tactics, often given a new name in conjunction with the assembly. More standard squads often have two troopers carrying the components to rapidly deploy and operate an E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster (CR 5, 1800 xp).

Below are some example specialist squads:

Reinforcements

The Empire does not take attacks lying down.
They respond swiftly with force and superiority, deploying a calculated mass of soldiers, mechanized infantry, and specialized weapons to exert fine control of the battlefield. It is because of this that battles fought on the defense against them are often doomed to fail against their overwhelming tides.

The following are general outlines for the response speed of Imperial war machines and their passengers, organized by example vehicles. Each includes a number of details:

Class denotes the vehicle's utility and focus.
Operating Crew outlines the vehicle's core crew count, manning all standard stations of the vehicle.
Standard Reserves details the regular passengers carried by the vehicle, ready to be deployed into combat.
Response Time suggests the likely amount of time necessary for the vehicle to deploy from another location relative to the target. Battlefield denotes a deployment within the same extended battlefield as the target; Territorial Region denotes a deployment from across the same territory; Orbit suggests how long a craft takes to descend from orbit and deploy into a battlefield; and Interstellar references a default installed hyperdrive to suggest time necessary to deploy from another location in the galaxy. You can use this value in conjunction with the Hyperspace Travel Times table on SW5e.com to calculate likely travel times for the starship to arrive in orbit.

While traveling together, an Imperial battle formation is only as fast as its slowest operating unit.
