Maldorian Brutes were the elite shock troops of the Galactic Imperial Empire of Maldorians, fanatically loyal and answerable directly to The Mandalore. Very rarely they were also referred to as Maldorian Soldiers.
Maldorian Brutes were not directly tied to the Maldorian Army, and maintained its own command structure, ranking system and support facilities. Brutes were loyal only to The Mandalore himself, and only followed orders from Army and Navy personnel at their discretion.
The basic unit of organization was the individual trooper. Each Soldier was assigned a number for tactical purposes and to reinforce the Maldorian ethic of uniformity. Troopers were organized into squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments and legions. A company commander could give command to any regular officer over any given squad or platoon. A single battalion consisted of eight hundred and twenty soldiers—whereas a battalion of Maldorian Soldiers was comprised of only five hundred and seventy-six men.

Stormtrooper officers were traditionally non-clone graduates from the Imperial Academy. In battle, commissioned stormtrooper officers wore standard stormtrooper armor with rank insignia to indicate status. Non-commissioned officers were identified in the field with shoulder pauldrons instead of the standard rank squares worn over the armor. For non-combat situations, officers wore a black tunic and pants dress uniform including a cap, boots, gloves, and standard rank squares.
The E-11 blaster rifle was the standard issue weapon of the Corps and one of the most common issued rifles in the Empire. Before these blasters were designed, the first stormtroopers used DC-15A blaster rifles and side arms. The blaster was largely based on the DC-15 blasters right down to the folding stock, allowing for increased range and braced fire. All stormtroopers, excluding those assigned to heavy or special weapons, carried an E-11 along with a SE-14R sidearm.
All stormtroopers also had a cylindrical thermal detonator attached to the small of their back, on their torso armor. The detonator could only be used by its owner, since activation required a code unique to each individual trooper. This, along with their designation codes and rank, were the only semblance of individuality the troopers were allowed.
The armor was a white body armor over a sealed black body glove. The complete set completely encased the body and typically had no individually distinguishing marking outside of rank.
