Description: The Imperial Praetorian Guards were elite crimson-armored warriors of the Shadow Council. Three were deployed to support Moff Gideon by Commandant Brendol Hux and Captain Gilad Pellaeon. They possessed helmets with a design similar to Mandalorian armor, alongside segmented armor plates and robes which would eventually be carried over to the armor worn by the Elite Praetorian Guard of the First Order that were active during the First Order-Resistance War.

History
Battle For Mandalore
Three Praetorian Guards were deployed by Commandant Brendol Hux at the request of Moff Gideon to aid in the battle for Mandalore, as Gideon expected the Mandalorians would try to retake their homeworld. As Gideon planned, the Mandalorians were attacked by Imperial armored commandos by the Great Forge, cornering the unwitting Mandalorians into a trap. As the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian Paz Vizsla engaged the last of the commandos to allow the surviving Mandalorians to escape, the three Praetorian Guards appeared and killed the exhausted warrior.

Shortly afterwards, the three Praetorian Guards assisted Moff Gideon in his fight against Din Djarin, quickly overpowering him. Before they could finish him off, they were interrupted by Grogu, piloting IG-12. As the Praetorian Guards pursued the foundling into Gideon's conference room they quickly dispatched the mech suit, after which Grogu avoided them by using his Force abilities to jump across the room's levitating light supports. The guards cut down the supports, grounding Grogu, but Djarin, freed from the engagement with Gideon by Bo-Katan Kryze, engaged the Praetorian Guards once more. Using his beskar armor to block their weapons, Djarin killed the three guards with his IB-94 blaster and vibro-knife, aided by Grogu's use of the Force.
