I don't really believe that the Dark Trooper is a cyborg. Play the Star Wars Battlefront game to assure that they are humans instead of droids. You can see them talking and having pain as a humans. DarthPlaegis, 7:27, August 28, 2005

There are various levels. Some versions are only exoskeleton suits. In Dark Forces, the final DT you fight, is Rom Mohc in a phase 3 suit. --Pictureuploader 00:08, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

You are both missing the point: a cyborg is a fusion of man and machine- to say that one feels pain, does not give useful information, since both cyborg and normal human are the same in that respect. --Maru 01:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

The Dark Troopers as seen in Dark Forces were not all droids as written in The Essential Guide to Droids or on the Star Wars website. The Phase 1 had to have been a droid, as it is too thin to hold a soldier. However, the Phase 2 and Phase 3 both were suits and contained a human soldier. This is also shown in both Star Wars: Supremacy (also known as Rebellion) and in Star Wars: Battlefront, where the operators are human. I have added a little bit to the article explain these contradictions and I've also fixed a part of the article which regarded them as droids. Some guy 00:38, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

If the phase II and III suits aren't droids, then it should be noted in those respective section of the article, yes? --Daedalus01 02:51, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expanded Universe Continuity

I wrote the section about the attack on Mos Eisley in order to fit Battlefront in with the rest of the Darktrooper continuity. In Battlefront, it is the first level with the Darktroopers.

I do not think the events in Battlefront should be considered for this article, as the game is not really story based. Does it actually say the Dark Troopers were used to attack Tatooine? I don't recall this. Some guy 22:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Troopers in New Jedi Order?

"During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, unknown to the New Republic, these droids did tremendous damage to the Yuuzhan Vong."

Is he talking about Lando's Yuuzhan Vong Hunters? Those weren't really Dark Troopers. Or is he talking about something else I'm unfamiliar with? --Joylock 10:30, 4 December 2005 (UTC).

You see them in Star Wars Tales 21 (I don't know if that's the right number, on the cover it says BlackEight flying for the Empire.) They get wiped out. --Anon

(Yes, that's the correct one; you can go see the cover over at Wookiepedia.)

Is that one of the canon Tales? --maru (talk) Contribs 21:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
