The Imperial Sovereign Protectors are experts at armed and unarmed combat. Their armour is lightweight and elaborately ceremonial. They are armed with unique and exotic weapons. These figures are given the most important duty in the entire New Order and have an incredible responsibility. Sovereign Protectors are the highest order yet for the Royal Guards. One reason the Emperor created the Sovereign Protectors was that he thought limiting the aspirations of his followers was unwise. By setting nearly unattainable goals, he could keep his personnel under better control while they struggle to achieve those goals. And also by creating higher and higher circles of elite status, it motivates them all to push themselves constantly.
No other troops in the entire Galaxy is as highly trained or motivated. The training and testing procedure that each Sovereign Protector ensues is elaborate and time consuming. It may take years to qualify and the waiting list is quite large. Once the potential Protectors have exemplary achievements in the fields of stamina, strength, dexterity, pain endurance, mental acuity, reaction time, loyalty and intelligence then they are trained in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Senior Dark Side Adepts teach the Sovereign Protectors only in elementary skills, so that the must always be subservient.
Their unthinking loyalty
is so rigid that it is said that they can't even perceive anything that
might corrupt them from their service. Others say that would commit suicide
if the Emperor gave the order. Although these rumours have yet to be proven
correct. Those Sovereign Protectors who distinguish themselves with their
unthinking loyalty are sometimes selected to become Dark Jedi themselves.
However like other Royal Guards, the Protectors serve as the Emperor's
personal body guards.
