Star Wars Black Series Galactic Empire Figures — Complete Guide

The Empire faction has 111 Star Wars Black Series figures released between 2013–2026. The Galactic Empire is the authoritarian successor to the Galactic Republic — Palpatine’s totalitarian state that ruled the galaxy for approximately twenty years between Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi. Its military is the Stormtrooper Corps, the Imperial Navy, and the Imperial officer class. The Empire’s design language — white armour, grey uniforms, angular ships — is among the most recognisable in science fiction.

The Empire Faction in the Black Series

The Empire faction at 111 figures is the Black Series’ second-largest and its primary army-building faction. Every major Stormtrooper variant across the trilogy is covered, from standard white ANH Stormtroopers through Snowtroopers, Scout Troopers, TIE Pilots, and AT-AT Drivers to the post-ROTJ Imperial remnant variants of The Mandalorian sub-line. The Obi-Wan Kenobi sub-line adds Inquisitors and Purge Troopers. Gaming Greats contributes the full Fallen Order Inquisitorius-era trooper range.

The Imperial Military Programme

The Empire’s army-building potential in the Black Series is unmatched by any other faction. The Stormtrooper alone has 15 releases across the line’s history — standard white, Sandtrooper, ROTJ, Jedha Patrol, Imperial Remnant, Carbonized, and Holiday variants. The Mandalorian sub-line extends Imperial diversity significantly: Incinerator Trooper, Artillery Stormtrooper, Remnant Stormtrooper, and the Dark Trooper give the post-ROTJ Imperial remnant its own distinct visual identity separate from the parade-ground clean ANH Stormtroopers.

The Gaming Greats Fallen Order trooper range provides the Inquisitorius-era dark armour variant — Purge Troopers, Rocket Troopers, Flametroopers, and the Senate Guard give the Dark Times Empire a completely different aesthetic to the standard white armour that collectors building a post-Order 66 Imperial display specifically want.

The Imperial officer corps is less developed than the trooper programme but meaningful: Grand Moff Tarkin, Moff Gideon, Director Krennic, and multiple Andor sub-line Imperial officers give the command structure its named figures.

Building an Imperial Display

The most effective Imperial displays organise by era — the clean, powerful ANH Empire versus the battered, desperate Imperial remnant of The Mandalorian. An ANH display: Darth Vader (ANH), Grand Moff Tarkin, 40th Anniversary Stormtroopers in formation. A Mandalorian-era remnant display: Moff Gideon commanding Imperial Stormtroopers (Mandalorian), Incinerator Trooper, Dark Trooper Deluxe.
