From Wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_trooper   Sith troopers were the foot soldiers of the Sith Empire during the Jedi Civil War. The Sith troopers of Revan's returning armada were traitorous Republic forces, who would later be joined by idealistic volunteers from conquered worlds. The weak would be siphoned out through the merciless Sith training schemes, resulting in an efficient and powerful fighting force. The fear present in each trooper not only spurred them on in battle, but also prevented them from turning traitor for a second time. Following the Jedi Civil War, many of the now-masterless Sith troopers came under the command of Darth Nihilus, participating in the Second battle of Onderon and the Battle of Telos IV. The standard armor of the Sith trooper was either reflective silver or white with a black face mask hiding the soldier's face. There appears to be no indication of rank on the uniform, though commandos wore a red variation of the armor while officers wore blue uniforms similar to the grey & black uniforms of the future Imperial officers. The armor, while bearing the same level of functionality as that belonging to the Republic forces of the same time period, was designed specifically to induce fear in the opponent. The armor casing was emphasised, while the trooper was completely obscured from view by a one-way visor, creating the impression of a faceless enemy. A similar effect would be recreated thousands of years later in the Republic clone troopers, who, through a fitting twist of fate, would later serve as the stormtroopers for another empire ruled by the Sith. |
