- "Thanks to your planet's rich resources, I have created the next generation Dark Trooper suit forged from beskar alloy."
- ―Moff Gideon
The Dark Trooper phase 4[5] was the fourth iteration and the cumulation of the Dark Trooper, though it was a battle armor developed in the Mandalore Imperial base as an upgrade over the third-generation Dark Trooper to be worn by Moff Gideon and his planned clone army. Forged from beskar alloy collected from Mandalore, the fourth-generation design borrowed heavily from Mandalorian armor philosophy design, and incorporated a visored helmet, vambraces with integrated weaponry, and a jetpack. Additionally, the armor enhanced Gideon's strength, allowing him to deliver powerful blows and to crush the Darksaber in one hand.[1]

Star Wars: The Mandalorian — "Chapter 23: The Spies"
- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the latter of which includes "Chapter 23: The Spies," must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
