In 5 BBY,[3] a coastal defender stormtrooper processed convicts that were being transported off of the planet Niamos.
Biography
This human was[1] a coastal defender stormtrooper of the Galactic Empire by 5 BBY.[3] The soldier served near a courthouse on Niamos along with several others.[2] The trooper would process prisoners found guilty of crime, asking for their name and homeworld, before sending them to an Imperial prison transport bound for a prison or similar penal facility somewhere in the galaxy.[2] One of the convicts processed was Tuck Hybecks of Galdi, who the shoretrooper sent to Belsavis. The next prisoner was Cassian Jeron Andor, in hiding on Niamos under the alias of a tourist named "Keef Girgo" from Deris-plata. The trooper gestured Andor to a prison transport destined for the prison complex on Narkina 5. When Andor asked what that meant, panicking and telling the shoretrooper that he was innocent and "just a tourist", two other shoretroopers grabbed him and pushed him onto the transport, threatening him with zap rods.[2]
Equipment
The shoretrooper used a set of shoretrooper armor with a white stripe on the chest. The soldier used a datapad to help process the prisoners.[2]
Behind the scenes
The shoretrooper appeared in "Narkina 5," the eighth episode of the first season of the live-action Disney+ series Star Wars: Andor,[2] released on October 26, 2022.[4]
