Purge trooper division

The Purge trooper division, or simply Purge division, was the branch of the Inquisitorius^[1] that comprised the Purge Troopers, highly-trained Imperial stormtroopers^[9] that were tasked with supporting the Force-sensitive Inquisitors in their mission to eliminate the survivors of the Jedi Order during the Imperial Era. It was a clandestine but powerful division whose troopers were trained to relentlessly hunt surviving Jedi, even on their own.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The Purge trooper division was first identified as a military unit in the 2023 video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.^[1] Purge Troopers themselves appeared before then, however. They debuted in the 2018 comic Darth Vader 13 by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli.^[2] These troopers were later identified as Purge Troopers at Celebration Chicago on April 13, 2019, during the panel for the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,^[10] which they appeared extensively in as non-playable characters.^[11]
