- Unit Name: Prefsbelt Stossjäger Corps
- Affiliation: Prefsbelt Command and by extension the New Imperial Order [x].
- Classification: Shock Troopers
- Description: The Stossjäger are attired almost entirely in the clean, crisp and pristine PC-03 Stormtrooper Armour, and serve a similar role to their armours namesake. The Stossjäger's are troopers who are not trained or chosen, but have inherited the role from their previous lives within the First Order. Be it serving in their Security Bureau, Army or Stormtrooper Corps. Most members have at least five years combat experience within the First Order's armed services, with the very highest ranks holding twenty. As far as units go, they are exceedingly cohesive. While there are disparate backgrounds among them, something the command chain has fostered are close living quarters and exercises which have bonded these soldiers to the point where some are more loyal to their comrades than to the broader ideological cause. Somewhat conversely to the Auxiliaries, the Stossjäger are far more cordial to outsiders. While there is still a suspicion of them, civilian requests and complaints are fielded in a professional manner. When off duty, the soldiers keep to themselves, far prefering the company of comrades in arms and friends over civilians or outsiders.

- Combat Function: The Stossjäger are an elite corps of army and mechanised forces, who are highly versatile in their abilities, and operate in most conventional military capacities. The Stossjäger are typically however staffed aboard Prefsbelt Command Star Destroyers or space stations as expeditionary forces or marine contingents for campaigns operated by the Prefsbelt Command. Outside of this capacity, the Stossjäger are a rarity to see on Prefsbelt, apart from the occasional patrol in Nova Avalonia and Fortress Dosuun or acting as the guards for the Kuat-Entralla Shipyards. Compared to the larger forces of the New Imperial Order, Stossjäger are a rarity in New Imperial space. Outside of their niche on Prefsbelt or aboard accompanying destroyers, these elite troops are barely found.

Strengths:
- Combat Veterans: The Stossjäger are elite troops with many among their ranks being 10+ year combat veterans. As such when coordinating and found in the field, the Stossjäger are a dangerous threat, and even alone the average Stossjäger is a deadly combatant.
- Versatile Combatants: Due to their choice of armour, the Prefsbelt Stossjäger’s are trained to fight in every environment in the known Galaxy. From space to deserts, to mountains and forests, one can find Stossjäger’s prepared to fight.
- Loyalty To One Another: The Stossjäger if anything are more loyal to each other than to the cause, as much as Command loathes to admit it. Many of the members of the Stossjäger have served with one another through thick and thin. Pinning a unit down, and killing its members is likely to make the others angry, but also reckless.
- Rare In Number: Stossjäger are typically not deployed outside of Prefsbelt in great concentrations. So if one sees them attached to regular New Imperial Order campaigns, there likely aren’t a great many able to reinforce their ranks after a bloody engagement.
The Stossjäger are the spiritual successors of the much earlier Retribution Corps [x], an ad hoc formation of assorted military specialists, stormtroopers and army personnel. These personnel fought a brief yet brutal way against the Ssi-Ruuk Imperium and later to a lesser extent, the Outer Planets Alliance in the ruins of First Order territory. Once such a wars futility became apparent, the Stossjäger worked to evacuate civilian loyalists from territories left without First Order protections.
The Stossjäger only truly began at Fortress Dosuun, once the Prefsbelt Command was established. Grand Admiral Rausgeber finally had the resources, industrial assets and backers to finally give these units armour worthy of their position and unify these soldiers in doctrine, equipment and capacity, but also to fulfill an agreement made with Prefsbelt Command’s benefactor, the New Imperial Order. One of the points laboured during negotiations with Sovereign Imperator Irveric Tavlar was the elite forces at their disposal, and their capacity to assist the New Imperial Order’s ascent to power.
All attired in the crisp white of the PC-03 Armour, the Stossjäger Corps was entered into service as the offensive arm of the Prefsbelt Command. While Stossjäger’s would be present in a defensive on Prefsbelt, they would be placed to secure key locations such as the Kuat-Entralla Shipyard, and Fortress Dosuun or supplementing the Nova Avalonia garrison. Stossjäger would however find their niche as the marine corps aboard Prefsbelt Command starships or complimenting regular stormtroopers in their campaigns against the New Imperial Orders enemies.
