The Vast Empire is an online group of Star Wars fans, writing fiction set in a shared universe based on Timothy [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Zahn]]'s [[The Thrawn Trilogy|Thrawn Trilogy]].

* [[Hand Cannon]] (Carried around by members of [[The Squad|the squads]].
* [[Highly-Conspicuous Uniform]] (Blackjack Squad, due to its new position as the [[Elite Mooks|Elite Squad]] has ''bright red armour''. Mostly averted due to camouflage paint on the stormtrooper armour.
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]] (Averted, sometimes to the point of [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] .)
* [[In -Universe Game Clock]] (The VE has been in the Thrawn era for nine years of real-time. Stormtroopers advance through the ranks in what must be days of in-universe time. Appears that this may be fixed by moving the timeline forwards to the post-Thrawn era in the near future.)
* [[Laser Blade]] (Is reserved for members of the secretive Dark Jedi Order, which rules the VE from behind the scenes.)
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]] (Some old stories had stormtroopers with vibrokatanas.)
