Black Invid Stormtrooper

Invid Stormtrooper
Invid Stormtrooper

During Lord Karza's rise to power over the Invid, he developed the four-armed Invid Stormtrooper. A devastating blend of power, speed, and firepower, the Stormtrooper proved to be the ultimate weapon of the Invid. It's limited numbers, however, keep the Invid from simply overwhelming the other civilizations of Rifts Earth.

Stormtroopers are usually found commanding groups of lower-level Invid. Squads of four to six Stormtroopers can be found working together during special missions deep within enemy territory.
