The Imperial Officer (Battle Armor) is a supporting character archetype found throughout the Star Wars saga, particularly during the Galactic Civil War. They represent mid-ranking officers within the Imperial military, typically overseeing ground troops and frontline operations.

These officers are distinguished by their specialized battle armor, a departure from the standard grey or olive uniforms worn by command staff on Star Destroyers or in administrative roles. The armor usually consists of reinforced plating over a black bodysuit, providing increased protection in combat scenarios. Helmets are frequently worn, offering enhanced communication and sensor capabilities.

While individual named characters with this specific designation are rare, the Imperial Officer (Battle Armor) serves a vital function in portraying the everyday face of the Empire's military presence. They often relay orders from higher command, manage troop movements, and engage directly in skirmishes with Rebel forces. Their competence varies, reflecting the vastness and hierarchical structure of the Imperial regime.
