The Imperial shock trooper is an elite member of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps.

The shock troopers are reminiscent of ARC troopers. They are armed with a variety of weapons, including DC-17 hand blasters, DC-15 blaster rifles, thermal detonator launchers, and heavy blasters.

Some shock troopers have different color markings on their armor, similar to the markings used by Phase I clone trooper armor to denote rank.

Training involves Team and Solo missions to learn to act as a team or work independant with a variety of weapons from light blaster to heavy blasters ao.

[TK 987]

"All of you here today have passed basic combat training and have been preselected to become shock troopers. First we will start out with basic missile training, then advanced thermal detonator training, followed by mine setting, and finally advanced missile training. Today you will all unload and reload your personal MiniMag PTLs with proton duds until everyone is able to do so in under the maximum time allowed for a shock trooper to do so on the battlefield. TK...987, on the other hand, will be recieving the Merr-Son PLX-2M, as requested, due to his unusually high scores on the finals. Everyone go to the first table to recieve your missile launchers and the second one to collect your proton duds."

[Training]

Aaron walked into the Shock trooper training room on kamino and waited for the instructor. While he was waiting he looked at those who were in the training also. There were some clones and others that werent cloned. Few minutes later the instructor arrived. It was a high ranked Shock trooper. As he entered he took of his helmet and said to the trainees "I'm your trainer now, My name is irrelevant to you, if you have the desire to call me something or speak to me you will call me Master". The trainer looked at the trainees "so you think you have what you need to become a Shock trooper, do you?? Only the best will remain and the others will either die or become stormtroopers. Today we will start out with jogging so you will be in better fit and then we will end with the rifle training. So get on your marks boys!" All of the men went to the starting point and got ready, then the trainer shouted "GO!!" and all the men started running. Those who started fast trying to impress the trainer soon became the last. Aaron started slowly and was in the back and then after a while he was in the middle. He was in great fit so he could be running like that for a rather long time. after 1 hour even the ones that were in the greatest fit collapsed desperitly trying to catch a breath. "Now while you are tired we will go into the shooting range and train with the rifles there, In battle you will be tired and you WILL have to shoot so what is better training than shooting after running for an hour.!". All of the men walked towards the shooting range and grabbed their rifles and then went to their spot. "When the targets come you start". After few seconds the targets came, they were in the form of Rebels. Aaron stayed calm and shoot at each target but didnt go wild like some of the men that were in there. Afte the rifle practice the trainer announced wich was the most accurate of them, It was Aaron. Then the men were sent to their quarters and told to return the day after.
