A similar effect would be recreated thousands of years later in the Republic clone troopers, who, through a fitting twist of fate, later served as the stormtroopers for the Galactic Empire, another empire ruled by the Sith. The armor casing was emphasized, while the trooper was completely obscured from view by a one-way visor, creating the impression of a faceless enemy. Sith trooper armor, while bearing the same level of functionality of most other types of armor, was designed specifically to induce fear in the opponent. There was no visible indication of rank of division, although Sith Elite troops and Sith Commandos wore red and/or copper armor for distinction. The standard armor and helmet of a Sith trooper was colored either reflective silver or white with black under armor padding as well as a visor covering the wearers face.
At that time, they participated in the Second Battle of Onderon and the Battle of Telos IV. įollowing the Jedi Civil War, many of the then-demoralized Sith troopers came under the command of the newly formed Sith Triumvirate ruled by Darth Traya, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Sion. For example, when Darth Malak was warned by Saul Karath that bombing the planet of Taris in order to kill Bastila Shan would result in the deaths of thousands of the Sith's own soldiers, he merely warned Karath against the perils of questioning his orders.
Sith troopers were often seen as expendable by their superiors, much like battle droids. Others, however, saw themselves as simply doing their job, or believed that the Sith would be better at ruling the galaxy. Some Sith troopers used the fear they instilled in people and the influence they gained from the suit for their own gain, threatening people and intimidating citizens into giving them what they wanted. The fear present in each trooper not only spurred them on in battle, but also prevented them from turning traitor for a second time. The weak were siphoned out through the merciless Sith training schemes, resulting in an efficient and powerful fighting force. The majority of Sith troopers of Darth Revan's returning armada were traitorous members of the Republic Army, who were later joined by idealistic volunteers from conquered planets.
