On Thrawn's orders, the death troopers concentrated their fire at Bendu, wounding him and sending him crashing to the ground. However, the Rebels were able to escape when a mystical Force being called the Bendu attacked both the Imperial and Rebel forces. In the later part of the battle, the squad accompanied Thrawn to Chopper Base in an attempt to capture senior Alliance officers such as General Jan Dodonna and Captain Hera Syndulla. They assisted Thrawn in capturing former ISB agent Kallus, following the latter's discovery as a Rebel spy, and held him during the Battle of Atollon.

One of the troopers killed Erso's wife, Lyra, and the squad attempted to find his daughter, Jyn Erso, with no success. There, they demolished the Erso homestead and took Galen Erso to complete his work on the Death Star. In 13 BBY, a squad of death troopers accompanied Director Krennic to Lah'mu. Vader and a contingent of death troopers then fought in a skirmish in the Korakanni Mound, killing the saboteurs and the queen. Despite the attempt, Vader investigated and eventually learned that a rogue Geonosian hive led by a Geonosian queen were responsible. An assassination attempt was made on Krennic and Vader, as an explosion sent a pile of rocks crashing down on the Imperials, crushing several death troopers. ДЄfter arriving on Geonosis, Commander Orson Callan Krennic greeted Vader on a landing pad with a number of death troopers.

After Tarkin confronted Vader, Vader was ordered by Emperor Palpatine to uncover who was responsible for several sabotage attempts on the Death Star's construction. Д®arly during the construction of the Death Star above the planet Geonosis, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin was accompanied by a squad of death troopers to Scarif to confront Darth Vader's breach of security.

Death troopers were named by Emperor Palpatine himself to capitalize on rumors about a legendary Imperial Military Department of Advanced Weapons Research project to revive necrotic tissue, which ultimately resulted in the creation of uncontrollable Undead Troopers sometime between 1 and 3 ABY.
