Members of the Rebel Alliance SpecForce had several terms for stormtroopers, including whitehats, plastic soldiers and snowmen.
As a result, the Grand Army was reformed into the Stormtrooper Corps, thus renaming all clone troopers as "stormtroopers." Under the Empire, stormtroopers operated alongside Imperial Army and Navy units, while some placed on Naval ships were given the title "marines." Although stormtroopers served under Stormtrooper Command, a military agency that was independent from Imperial High Command, all stormtroopers ultimately answered to Emperor Palpatine with unconditional loyalty and subservience. By the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY, the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the first Galactic Empire. The Imperial stormtroopers were the evolution of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. With few exceptions, they were distinguished from all other military units by their signature white armor. At the height of the Empire, stormtroopers had effectively become symbols of brutality and terror. These faceless enforcers of the New Order were considered an extension of the Emperor's will, and thus they often used brutal tactics as a way to keep thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy in line. Like Imperial-class Star Destroyers and TIE fighters, stormtroopers served as ever present reminders of the absolute power of Emperor Palpatine.
Stormtroopers were the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. " The Empire has a legion of loyal soldiers that are in endless supply." ― Darth Vader
