Star Wars

The "First Order Crew Member" is a recurring, unnamed character archetype within the Star Wars sequel trilogy (Episodes VII, VIII, and IX). Representing the faceless rank and file of the First Order's military forces, these crew members operate the various vehicles, weapons, and systems aboard Star Destroyers, transports, and ground installations.

These characters are visually identifiable by their standardized First Order uniforms, typically gray or black in color, and often wearing helmets or caps displaying the First Order insignia. Their primary function within the narrative is to populate the background of scenes, providing a sense of scale and the organizational structure of the antagonistic First Order.

While rarely individually identified or given distinct personalities, they are vital to portraying the First Order's military efficiency and unwavering commitment to their cause. They serve as a stark contrast to the more individualistic heroes of the Resistance. Due to their lack of individual characterization, little biographical information is available beyond their affiliation and function within the First Order's military structure.
