About Dark Forces and The Dark Trooper ProjectDark Forces is a combat adventure game like Doom. Each level (or mission as they are called) has several objectives you must complete before you can move onto the next. It is set in the Star Wars universe, between Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back. You play the role of Kyle Katarn, a missionary for hire. First used by the rebellion to steal top secret plans to the Death Star.
Kyle delivered the plans to the rebel alliance, soon afterwards the
Death Star was destroyed. But even as the Alliance celebrates this victory,
another sinister plot is set in motion, that will become an even greater
concern to the rebellion". Well, that's what the cutscene in the game
says. (a cutscene is a computerized animation that links mission to mission)
Anyway the "sinister plot" is a new type of storm trooper, the
Dark Trooper. The Dark Trooper is really a huge robot. It comes in three
stages:
Stage 1:
You first run into this pleasant character on level 5, the Gromos Mines
Stage 2:
First encountered on level 8 (Robotics Facility)
Stage 3:
First (and only, thank goodness) encountered on level 14 (Ark Hammer)
Oh, and by the way. The Dark Troopers were assembled on the Ark Hammer, a huge space ship which is your job to blow up (oh joy). Here it is, launching Dark Troopers in little pods.

Ugly, isn't it! It attacks by slashing with huge blades which make up it's
forearms. 
This is a nasty piece of work! The Stage 2 Dark Trooper has jet packs on
it's back.. It attacks by using it's assault canon. The gun that I hope
you can see in his hand. It fires either plasma jets, or missiles!
Wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alleyway! Oh, it's all right, he wouldn't
fit. This guy is really General Mohc (who designed the Dark Troopers) in
a huge Dark Trooper suit! He attacks with all the weapons of a Stage 2
Dark Trooper, but he fires multiple fire balls from his breast plate!
