The Imperial Stormtrooper was the backbone of the Imperial War Machine. Serving as elite shocks, Stormtroopers were deployed on countless worlds from the inner core to the outer rim to establish Palpatine's rule over the Galaxy after the end of the Clone War and the rise of the Galactic Empire in the year 22-BBY.
Unlike their predecessors, the Clone Troopers, Storms were not cloned from any given template such as Jango's. In fact, the Empire discarded the Republic's main clad-white-warriors shortly after the the creation of the Empire, as the Emperor and his top military leaders saw little use in the aging DNA technologies. Instead, they opted for a volunteer and conscripted service throughout the core worlds and beyond.
Equipped with Plastoid armor, and a wide array of weapons from heavy T-28 rifles to E-11 carbines, Stormtroopers would see both guard positions as well as front line combat on innumerable worlds.
Voth Loran or better known as TK-774 was one such Stormtrooper having served aboard a Star Destroyer in a carrier battle group. His assignment like the millions of Stormtroopers within the imperial ranks, was one of both combat and ship defense. And he would take his assignments with absolute loyalty even in the face of certain defeat. Often he and his squad would be some of the first squads sent down to the planet surface during both patrols and active combat assignments. And originally his entire unit saw over a thousand strong, while that number has since dwindled due to increasingly heavy combat.
