There are 9 different services ('branches') of the Imperial Military. Does any canon material at all attempt to address this? Are they from different service branches? What are their respective ranks? Who would assume command?Īll these sorts of questions would quickly be resolved if the service branch and rank structure of the Imperial military were ever detailed. So I got to thinking about what would happens if one of these Stormtrooper officers were serving alongside an 'Imperial officer' from the original films. While the First Order is obviously not the same as the empire, the Star Wars RPG did feature Kayn Somos, a Stormtrooper 'commander', suggesting that the Stormtroopers did have officers within their ranks.

In The Force Awakens the First Order troops are commanded by a Stormtrooper officer, Captain Phasma. They do, however, seem to have authority over the Stormtroopers serving aboard the various Imperial vessels. Nor is their relationship, in command terms with Darth Vader. Their rank, and indeed their branch of service is never made entirely clear. In the original trilogy films of Star Wars we see a number of 'Imperial officers'.
