First-Generation Shadow Soldier

The **First-Generation Shadow Soldier** was the First Generation of Nightmare Empire Shadow Soldiers, being experimental combat droids that were originally to be used as backup infantry to the Standard Nightmare Trooper. While the program was phased out by King Sombra, Umbrina Shadow had secretly taken the Shadow Soldiers that were to be scrapped and perfected the designs of them herself. Having them become part of her own personal Army. In turn the Shadow Solders pledged Loyalty to Umbrina in return.

## Characteristics

The First-Gen Shadow Soldier was a massive sized combat droid that bared some resemblance to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, standing at 6ft 5in, the Soldier was equipped with heavy armor plating made from Phrik and Titanium forged into a strong metal. That allowed it to take blaster fire, Lightsaber strikes, and even bullets from standard firearms. Each Soldier was equipped with rocket boosters that could be deployed on their feet and retractable wings on their backs, allowing them flight. They also had spikes in their feet which could allow them to anchor themselves to the ground. All Shadow soldiers also possessed extreme strength.

In lines of weaponry and armament, all Shadow Soldiers were equipped with a deployable vibroblade in their wrists (similar to Optimus Prime's own Energy Swords), some laser turrets in their right arms, a rotating rocket launcher in their left arms, and deployable shields when placing their arms together. They also had multiple rockets in their shoulders which they could fire all at once or one at a time. Their index fingers in their hands were equipped with a blowtorch which they could use to cut open doors or weld them shut.

Besides their onboard weaponry, the Shadows Soldiers also utilized custom heavy rifles with mounted pump-action grenade launchers which they could aim with precision accuracy. But other soldiers would sometimes utilize a heavy rocket launcher.

Each of the Shadow Soldiers were also equipped with state-of-the-art tracking systems that utilized thermal vision and ight night vision. But they were also given a high tech AI system that allowed them persona's and allow them to think more clearly than a Dark Trooper ever could. Which had them gain a strong loyalty towards Umbrina, seeing her as their "Queen". As for main power, all Shadow Soldiers used a single energy crystal to power their systems which allowed them to run for a really long time.

## History

5 Years before her banishment, Umbrina had taken an interest in the Shadow Soldiers when one of the scientists of the Nightmare Empire started a program to create them. However King Sombra saw them as a liability to the Nightmare Empire and had the program shut down while all Shadow Soldier Units were to be Scrapped. However, late at night, Umbrina had some of her servants help her obtain all the soldiers before they could be transferred and have them taken to her personal ship then she had the scientist who started the program help her finish the research. Where Umbrina would add in her own design ideas to it, in turn perfecting the Shadow Soldiers. After they were completed, Umbrina took them out to a remote location to test them out against an army of Super Battle Droids and Commando Droids she had acquired. After the test, she had 3 spots on her ship were they would be housed for not in use. And because of the AI system they were equipped with, the Shadow Soldiers all expressed gratitude to Umbrina for "Saving" them from scrap and pledged their loyalty to her.

Following her banishment, Umbrina kept the Shadow Soldiers on her ship, refusing to deploy for no reason, seeing they were only to be used as a last resort.

But soon, one Platoon would be deployed when
