The Darktrooper Corps is a gestalt subdivision of the Imperial Army, with a focus on specialization. The vast majority of the Darktrooper Corps comprises Dark Troopers, a mix of cyborgs and droid stormtroopers. The Darktrooper Corps is subdivided into the Radtrooper and Bloodtrooper Corps. Radtroopers are specialized stormtroopers who may or may not be Dark Troopers that utilize advanced radiation weaponry and radiation-proof armor. Bloodtroopers are specialized Dark Troopers, the most skilled of any in the Darktrooper Corps, who have been trained in the use of a lightsaber.
