Under the Empire, stormtroopers operated alongside Imperial Army and Navy units, and some were stationed on Naval ships where they served as marines. As a result, the Grand Army was reformed into the Stormtrooper Corps and the clones were renamed "stormtroopers". By the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY, the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire. The Imperial stormtroopers were the evolution of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic.
With few exceptions, they were distinguished from all other military units by their signature white armor. At the height of the Empire, stormtroopers had effectively become symbols of major authority. These faceless enforcers of the New Order were considered an extension of the Emperor's will, and often used efficient yet brutal tactics to keep thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy in submission to the Empire. Like Imperial-class Star Destroyers and TIE fighters, stormtroopers served as ever-present reminders of the absolute power of Emperor Palpatine and would remain an icon of Imperial war efforts for over a century and a half. Stormtroopers were the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire.
" The Empire has a legion of loyal soldiers that are in endless supply." ― Darth Vader
