'Vader's Fist' refers to the role the 501st Legion plays as Darth Vader's personal guard as told in its fictional back-story: “Commissioned after the fall of the Old Republic, the 501st Stormtrooper Legion distinguished itself by eradicating Rebel strongholds and conquering key star systems for the burgeoning Empire. The Legion won the attention of Lord Vader, who made it his personal guard. Whenever Lord Vader's aims fall outside the realm of Imperial bureaucracy, he calls upon the 501st to do his bidding. The only cross-disciplinary group in the Empire, it is ready to be deployed to his side at a moment's notice.”
