Shadow Guard Few Imperials knew the true origins of the mysterious and powerful Shadow Guard. They were silent and enigmatic warriors that received orders directly from Emperor Palpatine himself and were often sent to eliminate suspected Jedi and other Force users. When necessary they would also be put under the supervision of Lord Vader. These guardsmen demonstrated Force powers of their own which led many to suspect that they were in fact former Jedi that had been captured, tortured and brainwashed by Palpatine, but this was a rumor that was never to be proven. It was known, however, that this cadre was an elite special operations unit within the Emperors Royal Guard. Regardless of the truth, the Shadow Guards commanded a great level of respect within the Empires ranks and often led elite Imperial commandos into battle against the Emperors most hated foes. They often called upon the services of the Shadow Troopers during their battle engagements. They were capable of using a range of Force abilities such as Force lightning, Force Repulse, Force Push, Force Choke and Force Maelstrom. Due to Palpatines wariness of Force users, however, the members of the Shadow Guard were not especially strong in the Force.
