Despite the influx of new troopers from various sources, the ranks remained dominated by Human
males, thus reflecting the
New Order's
Human High Culture. By
0 BBY, roughly one-third of the stormtroopers were clones based on the Fett template, while recruits steadily became the majority within the Stormtrooper Corps.
[20] Service in the Stormtrooper Corps was open to both Human men and women, but female stormtroopers were an extremely rare sight under Palpatine's reign and on average there were never more than three female stormtroopers within a whole
legion.

[21] In spite of this disparity, some female troopers served in elite units, such as the
Coruscant Guard.
[22]
Female stormtroopers underwent the same hard training as their male counterparts. Only the best of the best recruits were selected for the stormtrooper corps. Once accepted into the stormtrooper corps, every trooper was treated as an equal. There were no differences between males and females. They even shared the same barracks. Wearing the exact same white
stormtrooper armor, one could not distinguish between a male or female stormtrooper.
