Thoughts about Storm Troopers
Posted: 2002-10-03 10:48pm
I started to wonder why Storm Troopers were used to garrison Tatooine instead of regular Army troops. After all, Stormies are elite, assault troops and garrison duty would be wasting them.
I did finally realize why Storm Troopers were used to garrison for a couple reasons:
1. The completely sealed body armor of the Storm Troopers would allow them to operate in the harsh desert environment more comfortibly then regular Army troops. Along with the built-in sensor systems, Storm Troopers are better equiped to deal with any problems that they encounter on patrol.
2. The indoctrination and training of the Storm Troopers makes them complete loyal to the empire. Bridery and intimidation would not work against them. Given the underworld element on Tatooine, an uncorruptible garrison is necessary to insure order is maintain there.
I wonder if anyone knows of any other reasons for using Storm Troopers to garrison Tatooine.
