Character Bio - As the Death Star came closer to completion, Grand Moff Tarkin sought the need to create a specially trained fighting force which were taken from the best of the Imperial Navy troopers. Once their training was complete, the new Death Star troopers became multi-talented individuals who fulfilled a wide variety of roles which included both combat and non-combat positions throughout the battle stations. This included training that taught them skills in advanced combat as well as independent command training.

Rulings and Clarifications-
• Q: What about Wall walks? They are 'man-made' and are in a few of your maps (The Tantive IV and the Death Star Throne Room for example) so why aren't they listed?
A:
Wall walks are considered Road tiles for all purposes during a game. So Imperial Navy Training will count on Wall walks just like Road tiles.
• Q: So Imperial Navy Training isn't affected by Imperial Marksmanship, right, since it's adding hits instead of adding skulls?
A:
Correct, as Imperial Navy Training counts blanks as hits and Imperial Marksmanship counts skulls as double.

Power Rankings-

B- - These guys serve a semi-niche roll and like all terrain based units, they suffer when they are not on the optimum map. Add that to the fact that they cost the same per figure as the Stormtroopers, and they will easily fall behind their white armored comrades.
