Description

The natural enemy of the Rebel Infiltrators and one of the most feared stormtrooper units, the Imperial storm commandos were trained by the very man who whipped SpecForce into shape: General Crix Madine.

Madine began his career in the Imperial Army, volunteered for special missions, was assigned to a crack unit, and rose through the ranks to eventually command his own battalion. After the Battle of Yavin the Emperor commanded that a special corps of commando stormtroopers be created to combat the Rebellion. The stormtrooper corps were apparently unable to do so within their own training structure, and Madine was assigned the task of forming units and training stormtroopers in the skills and disciplines of commando tactics. Madine found them quite able to learn, and established the machinery of storm commandos in only a few months. Shortly after the first storm commando units were deployed Madine had a crisis of conscience, and defected to the Rebellion.

The machinery he created remains in place. The storm commandos were soon used in siege-breaking operations, extractions, sabotage, and pre-assault operations against invasion and Base Delta Zero targets. Storm commandos are one of the few stormtrooper units that SpecForce considers a priority threat. Like other elite stormtrooper units, storm commandos are trained to be fairly self-sufficient, and are able to maintain their own gear and health.

A unit of storm commandos can range from 4 to 40 troopers. Typically, one quarter is a line unit, with the standard attributes and skills. A second quarter is the assault team, trained to operate vehicle blasters and artillery. Another quarter is designated the saboteur team, and has extensive stealth, demolitions, and anti-security training. The last quarter is the tech team, able to repair or jury rig a vast array oi technology.

Although highly effective, the storm commando units are not numerous, not even compared to Army special missions. Their numbers are growing, however, and present an increasing threat to the Rebellion.
