Rank was indicated with colored pauldrons (shoulder pads). Imperial stormtroopers apparently use the same rank system as the Imperial Army, but rarely wear any type of outward insignia. One significant exception to this is in The Empire Strikes Back, in which a stormtrooper attacking Echo Base wears the insignia of an army captain on his armor. The Star Wars Visual Dictionary states that the orange pauldrons worn by some stormtroopers scouring Tatooine for R2-D2 and C-3PO serve as some sort of rank insignia. Enlisted personnel wearing black pauldrons, while officers wear white and commanders of several units of these elite soldiers wear orange pauldrons.
