General Information Body Paragraph:

The Imperial Guards, typically referred to as the “Emperor’s Guards” or the “Dark Honor Guards”, were the devoted servants of the Sith Emperor during the reign of the dominating Reconstituted Sith Empire. As the personal protectors and enforcers of the Emperor, these guardsmen underwent prestigious and rigorous training at the secretive Imperial Guard Academy on the moon of Yavin IV. Most of the guards were non-Force Sensitive subjects, mentally and spiritually bound to the Emperor, allowing their ruler to access their minds and control their every action.

History/Background Body Paragraph:

The elite unit of Imperial Guards was established prior to 3959 BBY, at around the commencement of the Jedi Civil War. During the Cold War, some guardsmen were appointed to become Commanders of the Imperial Military, leading various operations and missions during battles. When the Dark Council was caught plotting against the Emperor, he sent his trusted guardsmen to purge all those that served on the Council, including the innocent members. Quoted, “I am a member of the Emperor’s personal guard–as are the men under my command. The soldiers you face are specially trained to kill Jedi–and they outnumber you.” by Guardsman Lassicar, expressing the might of the guards and loyalty to his Emperor.

Additional Information Body Paragraph:

When Imperial Guards are seen as too weak or unfit for duty, they are reassigned to the Imperial Guard Academy as guard instructors to the trainees, where they would eventually be murdered by their own students in order to prove their loyalty, ruthlessness, and ambition to the Emperor. There have been occasions where Imperial Guards have been Force Sensitive, as seen when a guard battles the Hero of Tython on Yavin IV. The guardsmen were supplied with electro staffs and heavy blaster pistols and wore vibrant red robes with armor underneath. The guardsmen may be found at the Sith Academy on Korriban, protecting every entrance and the Dark Council Chambers.
