A Stormtrooper Commander, who was human, was a member of the Galactic Empire while it reigned over the galaxy. The Stormtrooper Commander, along with two other stormtroopers, investigated the belongings of Sava Madelin Sun, a former member of the University of Bar'leth, who had started selling them following the fall of the Jedi Order; this occurred between roughly 8 BBY and 2 BBY, after being tipped off by smuggler Han Solo. During the search by the troopers, one of them came across an artifact that Sun had. Because possessing that artifact was against the law according to Order 66 Codicil Nine, the commander told Sun that they were obligated to report it to the local Imperial governor. Qi'ra of Crimson Dawn then killed the three troopers as Sun begged the commander not to report what they found.
