Shock Troopers (also known as Sand Troopers) are the coolest and most kick-ass troopers in the Star Wars saga. While stormtroopers where really suck-ass, Shock Troopers were 100% complete Rebel-killing beasts.
Why Shock Troopers are better than stormtroopers[edit | edit source]
There are many reasons why Shock Troopers are better than stormtroopers. The first reason is that they have a kick-ass orange sash-thingy (awesome right)? They also have a frickin’ rocket launcher! A rocket launcher! I mean, how much cooler can you get? An orange sash and a rocket launcher, this is like kick-ass Christmas(you know, except with it being star wars: the holiday edition).
Also, in the game Star Wars Galaxies, Shock Trooper armor provides a 6200 armor bonus against kinetic attacks, while stormtrooper armor only provides a 5000 armor bonus against kinetic attacks. That’s a whole 1200 less damage protection than Shock Troopers. For Example, a level 34 Womp Rat could kill a level 14 character with one hit, if that character is wearing stormtrooper armor. But, if that character were to be wearing Shock Trooper armor, it would take said Womp Rat 2 hits to kill the character. That’s twice the amount of hits a Shock Trooper can take compared to the stormtrooper.
The Role of Shock Troopers[edit | edit source]
While Shock Troopers only appeared in Episode 4 of Star Wars, the fact that they are kick-ass remains. While they had short screen time they still had enough time to prove that they kick-ass, rebel-raping, ass-kickers.
- Riding around big-ass dewbacks (yet another reason why they are better than stormtroopers)
- Looking for R2-D2 and C3P0 for writing graffiti on the Death Star
- Trying to prevent Han Solo from escaping Tatooine (the only reason why they failed is that Han Solo cheated by bribing George Lucas into letting him live if he played the role of Han Solo in the Star Wars movie)
- Blowing up shit with their kick-ass rocket launchers
- Attacking Rebels after their guards have been let down by waves of suck-ass stormtroopers, and then shocking them by their kick-ass fighting skills which is many levels better than that of the stormtroopers. Thus the name 'shock'trooper
The Life Style of Shock Troopers[edit | edit source]
Unlike stormtroopers, most Shock Troopers attended collage in IV schools such as Harvard or IBM. Majoring in fields ranging from Greek Mythology to 64th grade math, while they would minor in fields like Advanced Computer Design and the Modern Theory of thought. Due to their high educations, Shock Troopers have a range of high-tech jobs, such as nuclear engineer, astronaut and ass-kicker. And what is most amazing, is that the Shock Troopers manage doing all of these jobs, while serving the Galactic Empire as Shock Troopers.
At home, Shock Troopers share rich, fulfilling lives with their wives in large, luxurious mansions across lakefronts on exotic planets such as Naboo and Talus. On their weekends they enjoy playing a game of catch with the kids, or watching the game with the guys.
