Description: Stormtrooper, ANH Hero
Prefix: TK
Detachment: First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment
Context: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
“This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it!” —Admiral Motti (ANH)
Admiral Motti was incorrect in this statement above, about the Death Star. The true ultimate power in the Universe, that the Empire possesses, is the Stormtrooper.
The Stormtroopers (Hero) were a part of the capture of Rebel leader, Princess Leia Organa on the Rebel blockade runner the Tantive IV. They were also dispersed among the main garrison on the first Death Star. The Rebels, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, stole two of these suits and impersonated TK’s as they were trying to free Princess Leia Organa and escape from the Death Star.
