Imperial Death Trooper, also referred to as AWR (Advanced Weapons Research) Trooper, is a minifigure released in 2016.

Background[]

Imperial Death Troopers were an elite variant of the Galactic Empire's stormtroopers that were a part of the Empire's Military Intelligence. They wore black suits of armor and were equipped with specialized weaponry. During the battle of Atollon, 4 death troopers escorted Grand Admiral Thrawn on the planet and defended him against the Spectres, a band of rebels fighting against the Empire. Later on Lothal, a death trooper titled DT-L21 and a few others chased the Spectres through the capital's sewer network. At least two of Thrawn’s troopers were later reanimated on Peridea by Nightsister Magic to confront Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren.

Another squad of death troopers served under Director Orson Krennic's command, acting as his personal security team. They were present on Scarif for the theft of the Death Star plans at the beginning of the Galactic Civil War. Though they decimated rebel ground troops, they were to a man killed by either Baze Malbus or Cassian Andor. Following the war, a number of Death Troopers managed to survive and join up with Imperial Remnant forces. These included a small number under the command of Moff Gideon.

Death troopers were known to wield SE-14C blaster pistols, a modified E11 rifle known as the E11D Blaster Carbine, and long-range blaster rifles similar to the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. They also had C-25 fragmentation grenades. Those selected to command a squad were called Imperial Death Trooper Squad Leaders and wore a large black pauldron.
