Shadowtroopers are stormtroopers-Dark Jedi soldier hybrid, created by the Dark Jedi Desann and Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar.

The project behind the shadowtroopers was based at the abandoned Imperial listening outpost on Kejim and Fyyar's flagship, the Doomgiver. Desann had experimented with imbuing Empire Youths who had little potential in the Force with dark side powers. Similar to the Reborn soldiers, Desann used the Valley of the Jedi to imbue stormtroopers with Force powers. The resulting shadowtroopers are armed with lightsabers powered by synthetic Sith crystals and wear fitted Shadow armor made with cortosis.

An Artusian crystal is embedded in the armor's chest plate to enhance the power granted from the valley. Shadow armor also have limited optical stealth capabilities, although a translucent blueish silhouette is visible when the trooper move. Their artificial mastery of the Force enables them to use Force Grip and Force lightning. Unlike the Reborn warriors, shadowtroopers will not taunt their enemies, rather they wukk remain quiet and concentrate on physical combat, much like the Sith Lord Darth Maul.

Training includes basic training of light blasters, basic lightsaber training and Force Power training in the Dark Arts which is taught on Korriban when the training evolves.
