I really do miss the Storm Commandos. Like the Death Troopers, they are sometimes assigned to do special missions. Unlike the Death Troopers, their missions almost exclusively consist of infiltration missions and occasional kidnapping VIPs as we’ve seen in the Star Wars Rogue Squadron games.
@HolyknightVader999

I love the Storm Commandos. They were very useful in SW: Rebellion to cause insurrections against Rebel forces (LOL @ the irony) to sabotage rebel assets, and to kidnap or assassinate enemy VIPs. And in Rogue Squadron III, they also had their own capital ships and starfighters, the Escort Carriers and the TIE Hunters. Escort Carriers are like what if the Arquitens-class cruisers had more punch and room for TIEs, and the TIE Hunter is basically a deadly rival to the TIE Defender, with shields, a hyperdrive, ion cannons, and proton torpedoes to accompany its twin blaster cannons. They were a force to be reckoned with, and Sarkli was definitely a bad guy to remember. I still remember that time when he and Wedge got stranded on Geonosis, and Sarkli hijacked a Clone gunship. Wedge had to use an Imperial E-Web Blaster to take him down.

There's something I really like about the ISB Agents, and I can't quite put my finger on it. They look like a cross between the more formal Imperial Officers and the all-black Death Star Troopers.

Despite their underwhelming campaign in SWBF2, I really liked inferno squad when I read the prequal book. The fact they don’t even really use their gear because they’ve gone undercover was really interesting for a stormtrooper special forces, and fits the idea of them being part espionage. It’s also interesting as they’re the only special forces we know that are skilled soldiers but also pilots. Their team (even with the loss of the 4th member) was an extremely well rounded squad.

I never realized Inferno was with ISB. I like how some media does show how the Empire was from an internal view - stuff like the 204th maintaining cohesion despite the Empire coming down around them, or how Titan squadron came across quite the same way in Squadrons. Death Troopers have to be my favorite, though, their chatter is just so menacing and they've got some of the best-looking helmets among the Empire. It would be awesome to see more Star Wars material focusing on special forces groups like these sometime, I've always loved the idea since being exposed to Republic Commando years ago. I normally don't care much for the Rebellion side of things but it could be super cool to see what they have, too.
