So apparently the descriptive audio of chapter 12 directly refer to the armor at the end as “Darktroopers”. It’s probably going to differ from the Legends version a fair bit, but its quite an interesting development either way. The original Darktroopers were a combination of droids and cyborgs, so it will be interesting to see how or if this will tie in to Gideon’s cloning/strand-cast/Force experimentation. I suggested Shadowtroopers earlier, but maybe we’ll get some kind of combination.
