The officer cadre of the Death Star troopers was an officer corps composed of officers who were also Death Star Troopers. Individuals within this corps received extensive supplementary instruction in both administrative duties and leadership skills, in addition to the regular combat and technical instruction provided to Death Star Troopers who were not officers. Typically, members of the officer cadre held command roles, leading squads or specific areas on the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station, where they supervised activities and ensured adherence to established protocols.
