Description
Starwars Force Unleashed introduced a few new characters to the Star Wars Saga. I persoally love the Emperor's Shadow Guard. I already liked the Imperial Royal Guard helmet and have always had a thing for pole-arms but put the two together and throw a bit of Lightsaber in on top of it...very badass character.Like what you see? Most of the known information reguarding the Emperor's Shadow Guard, the Special Ops branch of the Imperial Royal Guards in the Star Wars universe, can be found here at this

Alright, so technically this is a pixel Manipulation because I dont use the fancy software. Another wounder brought to you by MS Paint and the internet.
Also up for reference, I've taken a crack at the Lightsaber Pike [link] these guys carry.

These guys are BAMFs. The closest you can get to Vader without being Vader. When Old Man Palpatine sends one at you, it's when the Emperor decides that he REALLY wants to kill you but Vader is off doing something else.

There's a reason why I feared the Empire's nonΒ regular rank and file troops in the Force Unleashed, and these along with the Purge Troopers are the reason.

Very good, I would've liked to see what happened to these guys after the fall of the empire.

There a serie of two comics

Thank you I'll have to check them out, and perhaps some of them founded the Knights of Ren and the First Order.

When black-ops just isn't enough, they go ahead and call these guys.
BTW, where were they in the Battle of Endor? Did they get disbanded just because they were too strong, or what?

extremely rare, and ill suited to ranged combat
keep in mind that the guards training result in only 50 percent of the recruits becomming guards , and the screening process was pretty selective in the first place

And Palpatine only picks those who are strong enough in the force, yet not strong enough to threaten him.

indeed, never train your replacements plagueis learned that lesson posthumously

And there's also a reason why Pakpatine builds weak points in his machines and monsters, like the Death Star:
""Conquer the temptation to create specimens that are superior in every way. The danger of such monstrosities being turned against you is too great."
βPalpatine, from The Creation of Monsters."

a good quote there, it shows the detail of the starwars universe , i did a little reading on the stuff that happens after the 6 movies and some of it is very interesting, potentially could make for good sequels if they are made correctly

Play Star Wars Rebellion. Great game from the past.

awesome, i always liked shadows of the empire myself

cool, i like the cold application of firepower, no heroics just superior firepower
π: 0 β©: 1
That's nothing. In my actual SWR play-through, I had 28 imperial Star Destroyers accompanied by 7 SUPER STAR DESTROYERS. The rebel fleet's attack was like a marine shooting bullets at Godzilla. Their ship guns didn't even register a hit on my shields.
That's if they actually got past my enormous swarm of TIE Defenders, all armed to the teeth with heavy blaster cannons, proton torpedoes, and heavy shields. 148 squads of twelve each. And all they could muster was A Wings and bulk cruisers against me. I laughed as my forces blew them to atoms then bombed their bases to kingdom come.

nice, people often underestimate the number of super star destroyers, theres dozens of those angry bastards skulking about in deep space
π: 0 β©: 1
It was pathetic to the point of laughter. I once just sent ONE SSD and it wiped out the enemy fleet.
π: 0 β©: 1
well the Galactic empire is hands down one of if not the most powerful space going navy in all the sci fi shows i know, i can't think of any that could take them on except maybe the borg or the daleks
π: 0 β©: 1
The Borg would get their asses handed to them.
π: 0 β©: 1
well it depends, the only thing that makes me think they could have a chance is they assimilate , and the empire use a lot of ground troops
other things that could threaten them are necromorphs from deadspace, the flood and the forerunners
π: 0 β©: 1
They don't have the resources to replicate IMP tech. A Stardestroyer ALONE would bankrupt a whole developed planetary system.
The ST universe deals in single digit gigawatts. The SW universe deals in MILLIONS of gigawatts.
π: 0 β©: 1
forerunners are world builders , they can do structures far larger than deathstars
and i agree with starwars vs star trek, that trek is vastly out gunned, out manned and underdeveloped
i have never understood why trek refuses to deploy proper ground troops, where a single star destroyer can occupy large ammounts of a planets surface, very large( by starfleet standards) ship in trek can deploy only a token force
another thing that i find funny, a single star destroyer is over three times the size of a galaxy class, and the destroyer rarely travels alone , i find it laughable that he galaxy would even stand a glimmer of a chance
but it lartgely comes down to mis communication, when people say laser, its not entirely right in starwars as as far as i was aware the blaster is a rather more complex weapon, as a aresult trek fans who know little about wars don't fully grasp the true power of the weapons

But the Forerunners were defeated by the Flood. And I'm sure world devastators and SSDs can give them a run for their money. The ancient humans gave them quite a pounding too.
π: 0 β©: 1
indeed, but ancient humans were tough bastards
as far as the flood goes, they'd probably hurt the empire as well, considoring the ammount of biomass onboard an imperal vessel
i think perhaps the Tau, the chaos marines and the empire of man from warhammer might be dangerous to even the imperials , despite less advanced tech, they posses fleets of required size, speed and number to pose a direct threat
π: 0 β©: 1
25,000 Stardestroyers.
π: 0 β©: 1
indeed, but you'd be surprised how many emperor class battleships the imperium of man can muster, and while they are around a 3rd of the size of the super , they do have the sheer numbers , and the sheer density of the hull to withstand the onslaught
i'm not saying they would win outright , but its definatly a fair fight , and the space marines would massacre the storm troopers on the ground if it came to it
π: 0 β©: 1
Dark troopers can even the odds. Phase III ones even look like the damn space marines!
Palpy held them back because if the Rebels or any ambitious moff were to take control of the droid brains for these things, there would be no end to the slaughter. But since the Imperium of Man isn't that good with hacking enemy software, it'd be an easy solution to mass produce Dark Troopers and send them out.
π: 0 β©: 1
potentially but don't forget the librarians , or the grey knights, i'd like to see the dark trooper survive a psykic inquisition
it would be an interesting fight, considoring neither side is likely to give ground without making his enemy pay dearly in blood
also the chaos daemons add a little something to the mix that not even a Master of the Dark side can match
then add a few of these bad tempered fellows [link]
there are enough powerful units on all sides to make one hell of a massive bloodbath
π: 0 β©: 1
Darth Nihilus. Full stop.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah but hes dead by the hight of the Galactic Empire, so you can't have him accompanying dark troopers in battle
plus theres the C'tan
no sith no matter how powerful has ever matched the height of the C'tan's vast power, they are large enough to spread across the surface of a star, feed upon its energy and move to the next when its host is extinguished

Except Naga Sadow does that easily. And also, the Sun Crusher.

interesting, but the nightbringer is the image of death, the reason mortal creatures have fear of death ,implanted in the minds of men since before the universe was young, not a guy you want to mess with
π: 0 β©: 1
Sith have no fear of Death. They just turn into ghosts and haunt/possess people from beyond the grave.
π: 0 β©: 1
well orks don't fear death either, but my point is the sith are scary, nobody disputes that, but they don't have the claim to being the actual grim reaper ( the lore of the nightbringer indicates that his image is what the grim reaper is based on)
π: 0 β©: 1
Then again, Sith spirits like the Sith Emperor are beyond his reach. They can die a thousand times and come back a thousand times.
π: 0 β©: 1
indeed, but so also can the night bringer, infact, defeating a nightbringer causes his living metal body avatar to be shattered into shards, that hurt the one who defeated him, the nightbringer then simply embodies another living metal body
and his phase sythe is comparable to a lightsaber
π: 0 β©: 1
Except force ghosts can do well even without a lightsaber. Their ancient swords were impervious to energy attacks due to being imbued with the power of the dark side.
And Nihilus also survived. His consciousness lived all the way to 137 ABY.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah but thats a holocron not really the same
π: 0 β©: 1
Marka Ragnos seemed to do well.
π: 0 β©: 1
well sci fi is full of imortal , or semi imortal characters, take captain scarlet for example, captian jack harkness , the chaos daemons keep comming back

OMG, this is awesome
I love shadow guards
I have my own shadow guard costume 
π: 0 β©: 1
Nice! I'm working on building the costume too. So far I've got the bucket,belt and boots done.

I sure love mine 
and I am turning 18 this summer and then I will get another shadow guard costume for my birthday
