The Glory-class dark trooper represented a specific iteration of the dark trooper employed by the Galactic Empire throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War.
The Glory-class troopers functioned mainly as guards within city environments, and their effectiveness stemmed from their diverse arsenal. They were equipped with the commonly used E-11 blaster rifles, the EE-3 carbine rifles, DXR6 heavy carbines, and it is believed that they potentially utilized the T-21 light repeating blasters. These stormtrooper battle droids possessed substantial armor, making them formidable opponents regardless of the blaster they wielded. Their presence inspired both respect and dread among members of the Rebel forces. The armor worn by these troopers exceeded that of standard stormtroopers. Upon seeing dark troopers, numerous rebels would retreat in terror, understanding the potential for immediate and devastating attacks. An example of a Glory-class dark trooper is GK-121.
