Stormtrooper-Dark Jedi soldier hybrid from the SW Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast game:

A shadowtrooper was a stormtrooper-Dark Jedi soldier hybrid, created by the Dark Jedi Desann and Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar on behalf of Lord Hethrir's Empire Reborn. The project behind the shadowtroopers was based at the abandoned Imperial listening outpost on Kejim and Fyyar's flagship Doomgiver.

Desann had experimented with imbuing Empire Youths who had little potential in the Force with dark side powers. Similar to the Reborn soldiers, Desann used the Valley of the Jedi to imbue stormtroopers with Force powers. The shadowtroopers were armed with lightsabers powered by synthetic Sith crystals and wore fitted cortosis armor. An Artusian crystal was embedded in the armor's chest plate to enhance the power granted from the valley. Shadowtrooper armor also had limited optical stealth capabilities, although a translucent blueish silhouette was visible when the trooper moved.


A shadowtrooper battling it out with Kyle KatarnLarge numbers of shadowtroopers were dispatched to Yavin 4 with Desann for the assault on Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum. With the aid of Kyle Katarn all of the shadowtroopers dispatched were either killed or taken into custody.

After the death of Fyyar and destruction of Doomgiver, the project was halted indefinitely.

This would be a very cool costume to see but I think there are some things that need to be ironed out first. The most important is what parts of the armor are hard(Plastic) or soft (foam or some other flexible material). That would give our artists a solid base to start from and it would give the rest of us an idea of whatexisting parts we can mod(not necessarily the easiest way but it works for some people). The second issue I see is different colors... someone might want a red shadowtrooper for example. Would those be allowed Kev? It's not necessarily a custom but it'snot from the story based side of the game.

Different colors would not be allowed, although there were fan mods for the game that colored them as they wished. According to the GML, you must have proof of the costume's existance and adhere to it as humanly possible.
