As a soldier within the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps, 7173 was the designation of a human. Stationed on the planet Zeffo in 14 BBY, 7173 was part of a squad tasked with guarding a deserted settlement, where he voiced his displeasure about the frigid climate to a fellow trooper.
The pair also had a conversation regarding a skungus that detonated within their commander's living space, an incident that 7173 suspected was intentional. Upon learning that the other soldier was headed for a clandestine operation with Purge Troopers, 7173 stated that he had declined the same assignment because he didn't want to leave his station.
While en route to the Tomb of Eilram with the purpose of reviving the Jedi Order in 14 BBY, the Jedi Knight known as Cal Kestis brought about 7173's demise.
7173, a member of the Stormtrooper Corps, professed a reluctance to desert their assigned post. Furthermore, they exhibited disappointment concerning their limited chances for advancement.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a video game released in 2019, marked the initial appearance of 7173. The trooper is one of two participants in multiple conversations that can be overheard between a stormtrooper and a scout trooper on Zeffo, although it is not definitively established which of the two troopers is 7173. Even though the game's narrative does not necessitate 7173's death, this article makes the assumption that the player defeats all in-game adversaries.
