Stormtrooper Recruitment

The Stormtrooper Corps implemented recruitment policies to replace the cloned stock transfered from the Grand Army of The Republic. The Stormtrooper Corps implemented a strict recruitment requirement for conformity standards in their recuits, in particular their genetic suitability compared to a human genome-type clone template needs to be 97.5% or higher, their height needed to be within 1.79-1.85m, their weight needed to be in the range of 78-85Kg, this also allowed for interchangeable uniforms and armor.

Cloning

Selected troopers are sent to the various hidden Imperial clone labs where specific material is taken from them for the express purpose of cloning future Stormtroopers. Usually high intelligence, survivability, cunning, efficiency, and loyalty are qualities considered.

Conscription

From uncharted planets, in uncharted sectors, hundreds of thousands of young candidates are raised for the express purpose of becoming stormtroopers. On these planets, large colonies where established long ago in order to raise children under proper ideological and corrective conditions. These children are brought in from all over the universe by circuitous routes and placed in dormitory style housing and raised in a communal style and recieve para-military training.

Enlistment

Candidates are selected through rigorous testing from military prep schools, penal correction centers, and para-military youth groups.

Stormtrooper Training

Once enlisted, are enrolled at a local sector military training camps. recruits are trained in basic military disciplines, fitness, mental discipline, and political indoctrination. This training prepares recuits for standard tests, which removes most recruits that would not pass though the Academies.

After passing recruitment standards, Stormtrooper recruits were sent for training at one of the stormtrooper academies on Corulag, Raithal, or Carida (most prestigious). Trained for up to two years depending on speciality, the Stormtrooper training composed of both grueling physical tests as well as extensive indoctrination, which was strong enough to produce unswerving loyalty to the Empire.
Their training included live-fire exercise, marksmanship, wilderness survival, desert and arctic warfare training, underwater combat training, emotional suppression programs, flash-memory programs, and squad based tactics.
