Imperial Army

Logo of the Imperial Navy.

The **Imperial Army**, also known as **Imperial Ground Forces**, is one of the land-based branch of the Galactic Empire's military. The Army was traced it's origins from the former Grand Army of the Republic an army composed of entirely of Clones but later replaced by all-Human recruits as the Empire decommissioned the clones afterwards, the Imperial Army swiftly asserted dominance throughout the galaxy, making use of highly trained soldiers, mechanized walkers, and overwhelming numbers. The Imperial Army worked along with the forces of the Imperial Navy, relying on the numerous fleets to transport legions of troopers across the far reaches of the galaxy. The most common soldiers of the Empire's ground forces were known as Imperial Army troopers, the core infantry of the army tasked with establishing Imperial regimes and pacifying troublesome worlds. As the Imperials reinforced their grip on the galaxy, these units were gradually phased out in favor of stormtroopers, the elite shock troops fanatically loyal to the Emperor himself, they are one of the primary enemies encountered both by the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Terran Alliance as well.

## Trivia

* Unlike their counterpart the Stormtrooper Corps, the Imperial Army troopers was rarely seen in Combat with the exception in the planets such as Kashyyyk, Naboo, Kenari, Earth (during the Invasion), Endor and Corscant. The Imperial Army troopers were only deployed when there's a Rebellion or Insurgency against the Empire but sometimes when there's invasion.
* Speaking of Stormtrooper Corps, the Imperial Army outnumbers the Elite infantry of the Imperial Military due to it's size and numbers.
