The galactic armies part 3; the Imperial Galactic Army
The Imperial Galactic Army was the infantry and the ground troops of the galactic Republic turned the new Galactic Empire
-----
Born of the consolidation of the multiple planetary militias that defended Republican space,(webut were broken up during the rusaan Reformation
The Sith Wars
The Army existed as far back as 4000 BBY. At some point, the Army established a military academy on the planet Carida.[4] Maintenance of the Armies along with the Republic Navy was handled by the Minister of Defense in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War.[5] Following that time, Brigadiers of the Republic Armies were known to have participated in the Great Sith War."
These were later seen as unjust, many criticized the Galactic Army as being merely a apparatus of the State control of the Galaxy.
A republic so corrupt that it could not handle mere piracy in the outer rim,
At the time of the Separatist Crisis, a number of militarist senators pushed for the passage of the Military Creation Act, a legislative bill that would reconstitute the Republic Army and Navy as a pan-galactic military force. When the Senate learned of the Separatists' plot to gain independence via military force,[10] the Republic Army was reestablished for the first time in a millennium.[2] However, the Republic also authorized the establishment of another branch of the military, an army of clone troopers known as the Grand Army of the Republic.(the Marine corps)
To the outer rim this was called Republican imperialism and a text book example of it.
Thus is the reason that Galactic Republic was no better than our Glorious, Galactic Empire.bThe stormtrooper corps would later be born out of the Grand Army of the Republic
however the grand galactic Imperial Army was forged in the fires of the clone wars
Galactic Imperial Army trooper
They are the main line troops, not as flashy as Stormtroopers but they are the ones who hold territory, Stormtroopers are Frontline, these are the infantry and footmen
Their armor made of duraplast the same as Stormtroopers if only lighter and covering less, are one of their hallmarks
The more infamous styles are the ground troops infantry
Or the mud trooper
Please find men and women also look like they ripped off the stormtrooper corps.
They did not, nor are they a part of the corps
the Galactic Empire has a aesthetic
These men and women fight in the harshest conditions imaginable from treacherous snow too dangerous waist level mud.
Part one and two here link soon that's salute the brave men and women

In Britain during the nineteen-thirties, voluntary sterilization was opposed by the Roman Catholic press, and the Secretary of the Labour Party discouraged taking the campaign for legalization to the rank and file on grounds that a number of them were Catholic and the measure would be controversial among them.
