My headcanon explanation is that the Dark Council is still utilizing the arms and armour of the Imperial Guard for their psychological impact, but the soldiers wearing that gear are loyal to the current Empire, not the renegade Emperor. Thus the distinction between the Imperial Guard and Dark Honour Guard.
Thats a good idea, makes sense! I wonder how much they cost in the GTN, I am in POT 5 and I heard there are less people in here nowadays (i didnt log for a while,at least not since the transfers).
On Ebon Hawk they are going for @230-250K, but I expect that price may dip slightly over the next couple of weeks, then climb back up as fewer packs are purchased.
They should bow when we approach them, like on Korriban…
Oh shit, that’d be awesome. Imagine having a corridor with like 50 of these dudes all bowing as you walk past and a giant throne in the end. *shivers*
sadly these guys seem to be so rare (got 1 out of a hypercrate) you’d have to buy 50 hypercrates to make it possible 😀
I think you may have just been unlucky – or I was extremely lucky – because I opened 8 packs and got two of these guys…
still was rare drop.. and was 1 time
They are not completely immobile, they look around periodically, but they don’t change stance or position.
Quick question, lore wise aren’t they trained to serve the emperor no matter what? Does it make sense having one with us?
