The Imperial Royal Guard serve the evil Emperor as his personal bodyguards, assassins, and executioners.

Whatever the truth, the Shadow Guard command immense respect within the Imperial ranks and often lead elite Imperial Commandos into battle against the Emperor’s most hated enemies. Others believe the Shadow Guard are simply loyal members of Palpatine’s red-robed Imperial Royal Guard, who have been secretly trained in the basic Sith arts. The Shadow Guard boast limited Force powers of their own and are capable of wielding lightsabre pike, which has led some Imperials to speculate that the Shadow Guard are, in fact, Jedi who have been captured, tortured, and brainwashed by the insidious Palpatine. Shadow Guard warriors receive orders directly from Emperor Palpatine and are often sent to eliminate suspected Jedi and other Force wielders.
