History
A gift from Emperor Palpatine unto his Palace Guard - Scholae Palatinae - the Stormtroopers were a power to be reckoned with; utilized as defenders of Byss & the military might of the Dark Lord. When the Reborn Dark Lord of the Sith was slain a second time, Byss shattered in the process, the Palace Guard extracted itself, taking the valuable military Legions in their Exodus.
Under the wisdom of Emperor Dakari, the Legions were re-activated during the Sixth Great Jedi War. A move meant to help counter the Clan's sudden spiral into the sixth, and final, placing amongst the Clans. With, then Grand Marshall, Braecen Kaeth's assistance, Dakari was able to organize his military force into a fast moving, easy to deploy unit that helped the ailing Clan surge from oblivion into an honorable Fourth Overall finish.
The soldiers of Bahamut were a crucial element in the defense of the Red Faction's stand at the unmarked outpost of Scholae Palatinae in the far reaches of the Cocytus System. The 507th Legion was, primarily, responsible for the designated firing zone 'Whiskey' or FZ011. Tasked with engaging the vaunted forces of Taldryan - a rival Clan in the Dark Brotherhood - they succeeded in holding the Allied Forces defense line and thwarting the enemy forces. Grasping an elusive victory for Scholae Palatinae that allowed the Royal Clan to secure their position - in this battle - from Clan Taldryan.
At the conclusion of the Great War the 5th Legion - Bahamut - were assigned to the Kraken Regiment; previously known as the Acclivis Draco Defense Regiment. With the commanding officer of the 5th Legion assassinated shortly after the conclusion of the Sixth Great Jedi War - presumably by a Taldryan assassin - command was given to the Executive Officer Samantha Benutad.

Equipment
Vastly different from its predecessors produced upon Kamino, the Stormtroopers of Scholae Palatinae are molded in Imperial fashion. Removed is the inferior equipment, color markings and Jango Fett clones - this is a new generation of enforcers, tied to a new Emperor's will. Their equipment has been vastly improved and their armor lacks traditional markings, conforming to the protocol of unity begat under Darth Sidious.
