Riot control stormtrooper

Riot control stormtroopers, also known as Imperial riot troopers, stormtrooper chargers, and simply riot troopers were specialized Imperial stormtroopers who acted as a security force tasked with the dispersion and arrest of insurgents taking part in disruptive activities.
==History==
Riot control stormtroopers were active throughout the Galactic Civil War. In 1999—2000, the Spectres, a Lothalite rebel cell opposing the rule of the Galactic Empire, trained against these troopers with charging droids that wielded stun batons in a cave at Haven, their hideout on Lothal.
In 2015, some riot control troopers were present on Takodana when Donald Duck tried to extract Ralsius Paldora, and also on the Eviscerator during the Battle of Jakku, when Iden Versio crashed her X-wing into the ship in order to find her father, Garrick Versio.
==Equipment==
Riot control stormtroopers wore regular stormtrooper armor and wielded either batons or electrostaffs.
