A Human male served in the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps during the Galactic Civil War and was stationed on the planet Coruscant , the Imperial capital , shortly after the planet Alderaan was destroyed by the Empire in the year 0 BBY . In the days following Alderaan ' s destruction , Imperial stormtrooper s on Coruscant began rounding up local Alderaanian s living on Level 3204 and taking them in for questioning on suspicion of having ties to the Rebel Alliance . The stormtrooper and a member of the Coruscant underworld police were patrolling Level 1997 , an area with a seedy reputation , when they entered a cantina together and encountered Alderaanian child fugitives Anandra Milon and her younger brother , Santigo , who were on the run from the Imperial authorities . The two children fled from the Imperials down into Level 1996 , and the stormtrooper alone gave chase . Taking a turbolift down to 1996 , the trooper found Anandra waiting for him on a catwalk . As the trooper approached Anandra , he identified her by name via facial recognition , declared that she had been pre - convicted of juvenile noncompliance , and ordered her to surrender . Although the young girl pretended to comply with the stormtrooper ' s command at first , she quickly disarmed the trooper , sending his blaster rifle skidding across the catwalk and setting off a brief scuffle between the two . The trooper planted two solid kicks to Anandra ' s midsection , and she countered by jumping upon him , managing to knock off his helmet . Before the trooper could resume his attack , he was suddenly lifted into the air by a Herglic criminal , who had followed the trooper down from the cantina . The Herglic then threw the stormtrooper screaming from the catwalk to his death in the abyss of Level 1995 below . Personality and traits . A middle - aged man at the time of his Coruscant service , the stormtrooper had a scarred face , which vaguely reminded Anandra Milon of her uncle . Upon entering the cantina with the Coruscant Underworld Police officer , the stormtrooper walked with confidence despite the unsavory reputation of Level 1997 . Yet the trooper demonstrated more caution when attempting to apprehend Anandra alone , checking behind himself before cautiously approaching her . The trooper tried reasoning with Anandra at first , even sympathizing with her plight to a degree . Equipment . The stormtrooper carried an E - 11 blaster rifle and wore stormtrooper armor , the helmet of which produced an electronic hiss that masked the man ' s tone when he spoke . He unsuccessfully attempted to apprehend Anandra Milon with stuncuffs . Behind the scenes . The stormtrooper first appeared without name in " One Thousand Levels Down , " a short story written by Alexander Freed and illustrated by Joe Corroney and Brian Miller . The story was published in 2014 as part of " Star Wars Insider " 151 .
