Imperial Special Forces (ISF) denoted those military units and personnel within the Galactic Empire who received specialized training for conducting covert and high-risk missions. An example of an individual within this category was Kolar Ludd, infamously known as "the Depopulator." Within the Stormtrooper Corps, the special forces were the Storm Commandos, prepared for the most intense and challenging combat scenarios. Furthermore, Imperial Special Forces troopers, which included members of Inferno Squad, were considered elements of the Imperial Special Forces. During the Imperial Era, the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing functioned as a highly skilled fighter wing.
The TL-50 Heavy Repeater was purpose-built with special forces in mind.
