📋 About This Mod

Early Empire
Following the end of the Republic era, the Galactic Empire began using recruited soldiers rather than clone troopers.  These soldiers wore different armor than the classic phase 2 clone trooper gear.  They were known as the TK-Troopers, the precursors to what we know as the famous stormtrooper.  With the help of a few different modders, it is my pleasure to bring this era of Star Wars to the Battlefront!
