A security trooper regiment[2] of the Imperial Army[1] was assigned to the planet Ghorman due to growing tensions with the Galactic Empire's occupation of the world,[2] as it secretly attempted to forcefully relocate the population and mine the world for Kalkite, a mineral sought by the Imperial Military Department of Advanced Weapons Research for Project Stardust.[4] The regiment was led by Sergeant Bloy.[2]
The regiment supplemented a contingent of stormtroopers, existing Imperial security troopers,[1] Imperial Security Bureau personnel, TIE fighters,[3] Imperial Navy assets,[1] and KX-series security droids.[3] Multiple units from the regiment were continuously deployed in the days leading up to the Ghorman Massacre.[1] However, the regiment was untested and unready for the ready-to-boil-over unrest on Ghorman,[2] with one group even consisting of new recruits. Bloy and these rookie troopers were used to incite a crowd of Ghorman people and serve as sacrifices, allowing the Empire to justify its use of force in what became the Ghorman Massacre.[3]
