Dreadtrooper

""What are those things?" They're like some kinda stormtrooper copy!" "Those aren't stormtroopers, they're dreadtroopers!"

- Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, about first seeing the dreadtroopers up-close Dreadtroopers were the backbone of the Annihilation Army. Although there were many variations, they all played their own part in conquering the galaxy once and for all. They were first introduced in 6-ABY by Supreme Leader Lucas to overwhelm, intimidate and destroy.

They were seen in battles all across the galaxy, mostly in the outer rim. They carried weapons made by the Empire of Annihilation, and none other. They were exceptional at long-range, short-range, close-combat, scouting, and every other thing you could throw at them.

There were many versions, some human, some droid, and even at one point they hired all sorts of creatures besides humans. It all started with a suit prototype, that was created in 4-ABY called the ATS-P, or; All-Terrain-Soldier-Prototype. It allowed the user to be very quick and agile, whilst also allowing the user to climb walls, and traverse every terrain imaginable. A few more prototypes were created up until the first version was released and the first of the Dreadtroopers were ready for battle.

The first of the many versions was the Phase I Dreadtrooper. It was first used in 6-ABY in small ground attacks in the outer rim. The armor was made for humans to wear, and had superior dependability. The armor was a major step-forward for the Annihilation Army.

The second version was completed by 9-ABY and was called the Phase II Dreadtrooper. They were droids, and specialized in recon, and close-combat. They were used often to overtake frigates by using their jet packs and used their arm drills to dig into ships' hulls.

The third version was completed in 14-ABY. It was called the Phase III Dreadtrooper and was the deadliest of them all, and was also another droid. It's height measured 8-feet tall, it was able to easily take on at least ten personnel at a time. It's only drawback was it's expensiveness, it costed over 3 times the amount that it costed to make the previous Phase II Dreadtroopers.
