They are the elite of the stormtrooper ranks, their skills honed through a hidden training program during the time of the Clone Wars. The loyal troopers of the 501st marched with Vader to root out the treachery harbored in the Jedi Temple. They then spread throughout the galaxy as the Empire flexed its mighty muscles, bringing Vader's brand of order and justice to a galaxy that had been lawless for too long.

Until now, many of their most crucial missions were classified. But recently uncovered journals from a 501st veteran have uncovered some of their most daring assignments. Starting November 1st, you'll be able to undertake the 501st missions in the single-player scenarios of Star Wars Battlefront II, available for PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PSP.
