| - Stormtrooper snipers were specialized stormtroopers equipped with sniper rifles. These units wore a blue pauldron over their shoulder and a visor attached to their helmet. They also had a black bandolier strapped across their chest plate.
- After the activation of Order 66, clone troopers were renamed stormtroopers, and they were absorbed into the ranks of the Imperial Military. Clone trooper snipers were now stormtrooper snipers. Within years, the line of Jango Fett clones began to dwindle, and birth-born recruits and new clones became part of the Empire's army of stormtroopers. With this, only specially trained birth-born recruits were allowed to become snipers.

Within years, the line of Jango Fett clones began to dwindle, and birth-born recruits and new clones became part of the Empire's army of stormtroopers. With this, only specially trained birth-born recruits were allowed to become snipers. The snipers operated in special assassination missions during the Empire's rise to power, eliminating members of the Imperial Senate that Emperor Palpatine saw as treasonous. By 0 BBY, most senators had been killed, and the rest lost their jobs as senators when the senate was dissolved by Palpatine. Their work was indirectly praised by Grand Moff Wilhuf Tarkin. The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.—Wilhuff Tarkin During the Galactic Civil War, stormtrooper snipers were used to great effect, as combat specialists and in taking out key Rebel Alliance members. When the Galactic Empire was crushed at the end of the Galactic Civil War, stormtrooper snipers gave up their jobs and became civilians in the newly formed New Republic. It is unknown if stormtrooper snipers were active within the New Galactic Empire.
