When Moff Kentor Sarne consolidated his power in the Kathol sector, he decided it would be advantageous to have a cadre of elite troopers loyal only to him. Training them using standard Imperial indoctrination techniques, Sarne instituted a grueling training regime that instilled loyalty and dedication into candidates. The result was troopers willing to make any sacrifice to fulfill their orders. Their numbers were a closely guarded secret, although it was thought that there were less than 10,000 in active service.
Known only as "Sarne's Stormtroopers", they were officially listed as supplementary personnel. Deployed to the largest military bases in the Kathol sector, the unit's members watched over all military personnel who may have placed their own interests, or the interests of the Empire, over the dictates of Moff Sarne.
Sarne's Stormtroopers were authorized to conduct "loyalty examinations" at any time, and executed Sarne's personal orders. They had the authority to disobey the orders of any military personnel if they felt the orders went against Moff Sarne's intentions or goals. This made them more independent than the average Stormtrooper.
Moff Sarne's personal seal
Sarne's Stormtroopers wore standard Stormtrooper armor, and used E-11 blaster rifles. The armor was emblazoned with the personal seal of Moff Kentor Sarne.
Sarne's Stormtroopers were fanatically loyal to Moff Sarne. However, their devotion caused them to be disruptive to both the regular army and navy forces under Sarne's command due to their loyalty purges.
