Imperial Guard Champions, also known as Sovereign Protectors, are the most elite cadre of guardsmen in Imperial service. Only the best of the elite Emperor's Royal Guard are specially chosen to become Sovereign Protectors. They endure years of selection procedures and training aimed at achieving perfection in soldiering. Extreme standards are set for combat fitness, stamina, strength, dexterity, mental acuity, reaction time, loyalty and intelligence. Their combat training includes the use of heavy blaster pistols and the deadly double vibroblade. They also have access to Emperor's Royal Guard TIE/IN starfighters, and are often sent on extremely vital missions.
