Shock Troopers were specialist Clone Troopers within the Coruscant Guard, a unit first led by Commander Fox, but would later be headed by Commander Thire. These troopers were originally tasked with patrolling plazas and guarding government buildings and landing platforms, however as the Clone Wars went on, the Shock Troopers began to take on more of a policing role, with the right to perform random security checks on citizens. At the end of the Clone Wars, Shock Troopers escorted Emperor Palpatine to Mustafar to retrieve Darth Vader's body.
