Description: Sith Trooper Prefix: TX Detachment: Spec Ops Detachment Context: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Sith troopers were elite soldiers in an army raised on the planet Exegol by the Sith Eternal—Sith cultists who revered the dark side of the Force and were devoted to the Sith religion. Though they were not imbued with the power of the Force, Sith Troopers nonetheless shared the name of the revived sect of the dark side, drawing inspiration from a dark and ancient legacy. As such, their red armor was reminiscent of Sith lightsaber blades and the Imperial elite, evoking an aura of fear and death. They were the culmination of an elaborate contingency meant to ensure the eternal reign of a new Sith Empire, returning the galaxy to a dark age of a thousand years past.

The outer panels have vertical seams that separate the recessed lines from the flat section. Each shin is roughly the mirror opposite of each other with the following differences on the outer panels. Right shin has a rectangular section that is about 2⁄3 up from the bottom. The right shin has two elongated trapezoidal boxes that are chamfered with one flat section between them evenly spaced in 3rds.
