Murf Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I notice some people have names that start with "TK" and end in a number. I believe they represent Stormtroopers/Clones. Where did this "TK" naming convention come from? Star Wars movie - which one? Novels? Where? Just curious?
ET Warrior Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I'm assuming it's just a designation for different parts of the imperial force. Like, pilots would have a different prefix methinks.
TK-8252 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 TK is the designation for Stormtroopers. Not sure about Clone Troopers though.
chatto Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 n here i was thinking there was a Team Killers clan:D -May the force be with us all:ewok:
Ezralite Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 TK is a StormTrooper TD is a SandTrooper TS is a SnowTrooper TI is a TIE Pilot TA is an AT-AT Pilot TB is a Biker Scout TC is a CloneTrooper I believe that covers it. There might be more though. // Lou

It doesn't quite make sense since all of the second letters stand for what the kind of trooper it is, except for the Stormtrooper. What's the K stand for?
Murf Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 Thanks for the info. I remember the seen in ANH and that makes the most sense to me. I was guessing it probably came from a movie, just not sure where.

clonearcman Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Just for any questions on the clones; the different "batches" cloned are named differently in the way of what generation they were. ARC troopers are named "alpha" because they were the first batch made and the prototypes. The rest then had different names like "omikron" and "delta". Its wierd that they have all the random names in BF battlefields because I would think that they would really be in "Delta battalion" and stuff like that. P.S. Where did you get the info Ezralite? It was great info and I just wanted to check it out.
clonearcman Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Pffffffffffffffff. If anything its cause you live in Oregon and I do too. Not to get off topic or anything. :rolleyes:
chatto Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 yeah, you are off topic:p but nwyz ive had that same thought bou the clone troopers. But seriously there most every person wit TK in its name has turnout to be a team killer. so im still not sure if there any TK players who arent lookin for their teammates (usually me) to team kill. -May the force be with us all.
clonearcman Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Wait a second. We missed one. What about JJ? Its in BF so its probably a name. Maybe Dark trooper?
chatto Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 JJ? I think thats Jar Jar Bins!lol. He joins the empire in episode 3 and dresses like a dark trooper to terrorize the ewokes of Endor! -May the force be with us all. PS. Hey look an Ewok---------^^^^^
SkinWalker Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I can't verify it, but I thought "TK-421" was one of the robot police officers in TK-1138, Lucas' first film. THX-1138, of course, was the main character of the film. So the whole thing is a tribute to THX-1138 and I believe that was the original title Lucas used in the Star Wars script prior to changing the stormtrooper's designation to TK-421. I think this information is in the "Star Wars: Behind the Magic" CD-ROM if anyone has it. I don't.
scout_zero Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 TK-421 was one of the stormtroopers who got blasted by Han Solo.
SkinWalker Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 He was the stormtrooper that "wasn't at his post" because the hidden crew and passengers of the Millennium Falcon stole his uniform, presumably rendering him unconscious. But the usage of the name is an homage to the movie THX-1138.
