Description: Imperial Royal Guard, Revenge of the Sith
Prefix: TR
Detachment: Sovereign Protectors
Context: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Formed at Palpatine's discretion without a formal act, several senators considered them to be illegal. Palpatine justified their creation due to rumors of corruption amongst the Senate Guard. In a galaxy dominated by the blaster, the choice of the force pike as their primary weapon is a declaration of the prowess of the Red Guard.
