History[edit]
The Stormtroopers formed the militia of the planet Idlewind. During the Clan invasion of 3050, the Stormtroopers led two points of Elementals of the Third Jaguar Cavaliers under Star Commander Joal into a napalm trap. Unfortunately this caused no casualties but enraged the Clan warriors into a killing frenzy, destroying most of their tanks and infantry, including Marc Lutz, the Stormtroopers' commander with a single casualty. After which the entire Trinary was ordered to find the dishonorable surats that set the trap. During the search of the capital city the civilians took up arms against the invaders. The Trinary hunted down all armed insurgents killing half the civilian population in three hours. The Stormtroopers were destroyed as a fighting force. [1]
