A Dark Trooper is an elite type of Stormtrooper devised by the Galactic Empire.
Video Games
Dark Troopers originate in first-person shooter video games developed by LucasArts. In the games, they are elite Stormtroopers with a limited degree of training to use the Dark Side of the Force. Their armor is also substantially superior to that of typical stormtroopers, consisting of power armor with jump jets and some built-in weaponry.
The Mandalorian
In The Mandalorian series from Disney+, Dark Troopers have been converted into combat droids. According to Moff Gideon, humans made the Dark Trooper concept flawed due to their unreliability. The droid troopers are absolutely loyal. Naturally, the droids do not have any Force-related abilities.
The Dark Trooper droids are substantially taller than a human and have armor sufficient to resist blaster fire. This may indicate that beskar was used in their construction, although if so, it is alloyed in a way that makes it unable to resist lightsaber cuts.
The droids carry blaster rifles as their main armament. They are also dangerous close combatants, being strong enough to break through blast doors given enough time. They proved to be no match for a trained Jedi Knight, however.
