Blackboot

A Blackboot, also known as Sith Infantry or Sith Minion, was the main foot soldier of the Sith Empire.

A common sight in the Empire, minions were simple soldiers drafted from the citizens of the Empire. They were not Force-sensitive and were only trained in basic lightsaber combat to serve as the bulk of the Empire's Army. To this end they were ultimately expendable due to their large numbers, leading them to be derogatorily known as "cannon-fodder".

They were a lower rank and skill than the Sith Warriors, yet they were still able to command Sith Acolytes.
