The Phase I dark trooper was the earliest dark trooper and was little more than a lightsaber-resistant phrik skeletal frame equipped with a vibrosword attached to its right arm, and a blast shield on its left. Due to their being forcibly recruited into the project, many Phase Zero Dark Troopers could not cope with the state of being more machine than man and attempted suicide. While the augmentation procedure was 100% effective, able to return the veteran soldiers to peak condition and enhance their physical capabilities far beyond that of an ordinary human, the project suffered from numerous flaws.
The original Dark Troopers were not combat droids but ageing clone troopers who had 70% of their original body parts replaced by advanced cybernetics. There were several different phases of these troopers:
The weapons of the dark troopers were manufactured and supplied by Moff Rebus.ĭark troopers stayed on Arc Hammer, whose location was always secret, and were jettisoned to their planetary targets in hyperspace pods. Phrik alloys were tested on a laboratory on Fest and they were refined in Ice Station Beta on Anteevy, where, presumably, the Phase II was produced. Production of dark troopers began in Gromas 16 where phrikite was extracted. It was a more powerful variant of the Phase II model and was able to be worn as an exosuit. One of these was used by the originator of the project, General Rom Mohc. Only three Phase III prototypes were on board Arc Hammer. Dark Troopers featured heavy plating that resembled the armor of a stormtrooper, powerful weapons, and jump packs for increased flexibility and tactical advantage.īesides the Phase Zero prototypes, they came in three versions: the Phase I dark trooper was a skeletal droid armed simply with a vibroblade and physical shield, primarily a testbed for the later stages the Phase II dark trooper, which featured, in addition, the external elements and the Phase III dark trooper, which was the main unit and was never fully developed.
