Death troopers were an elite variant of the Der'kal Empire's stormtroopers who were part of Der'kal Intelligence. They served as protective details and bodyguards for important Der'kal officers and members of the High Command, as well as being used as special-mission experts and specialized commandos. They wore black suits of body-armor and specialized helmets that scrambled verbal communications, and also provided micro-motion sensors, targeting heads up displays and data displays that featured where other troopers were on the battlefield. Death troopers were trained in unarmed combat, heavy weapons, demolition, and sniping. Specializing in commando missions, the troopers were experts at covering their tracks, leaving little to no evidence of their missions.
