The Coruscant Guard are drawn from the ranks of Imperial Stormtroopers and are given specialized training to allow them to operate as guards and law enforcement personnel on the Imperial Centre. In this new capacity these troopers rarely engage in military combat. Virtually anywhere on the Imperial Centre, Coruscant Guards can be encountered. This police corps can also be found on other Core Worlds, although in these cases they are not referred to as Coruscant Guards. The highly-trained persons in these units are put through an intense regimen of physical and psychological conditioning to ensure that they are in peak shape, as well as unshakably loyal to our Emperor. These troops are mostly deployed to protect communications and transport facilities, essential bureaucratic offices, and locations where large gatherings are probable. Maintenance of order and security are their primary priorities due to the huge population of the Imperial Centre. In order to carry out these objectives, they have been charged with "martial law" powers. As such, any location regardless of it being public or private can be searched without notice, and any citizen suspected of illegal activities may be arrested even when evidence is lacking. They also serve to protect the "purity of civic thought" and maintain "Human High Culture" by apprehending suspected Rebel operatives. The Coruscant Guard serves to protect citizens and property from being ravaged by criminals and their activities. What makes the Coruscant Guard's armour notable and distinctive is its crimson and black colour, as well as its sophisticated helmet. It has been suggested that this scheme is designed to make these troopers memorable to all those who encounter them. The armour donned by the Coruscant Guard is light and comfortable, yet somewhat awkward to wear. It comes complete with heavy padding that provides outstanding protection against non-energy attacks such as fists, vibroweapons, and projectile slugs.
