My opinion is that Piett and Krennic should not have the Imperial Trooper tag because, frankly, they never really fought as a trooper for the Empire. All of the Imperial Troopers in the game (other than Piett, which I think should not be one) are generic troopers. Like, for example, there is no one Death Trooper or sStormtrooper. It's just a person trained to be a trooper in the Empire. Krennic and Piett aren't, and as I mentioned before, they didn't "fight" as a trooper. The TIE Pilot should most definitely be an Imperial Trooper. To refute the past arguments, Imperial TIE Pilots were in fact people who fought for the Empire and were most definetely troopers. Yeah, so that's what I think.
General Veers and Colonel Starck are imperial troopers, but are not generic troopers. I personally think it’s more a matter of imperial troopers seemingly being classified more as the ground troops who engaged in planetary assaults on-surface as opposed to the pilots who conducted orbital and space battles.
But then Piett getting the tag messes that up. He was a naval officer who never fought on the ground and yet he has the tag for some reason. If a naval officer gets the tag why not all the other naval officers (Thrawn/Tarkin) and the TIE Pilot as well? And Royal Guard should get the tag too. Because Royal Guards are legitimately elite Stormtroopers trained to use Force Pikes to protect the Emperor.
Piett isn't a trooper himseld, he just benefits from the work that Imperial Troopers do and extracts the benefits to accrue his own prestige and power. He uses them without giving anything back to them (which is why other Imperial Troopers have abilities that give bonuses to all Imperial Troopers, but Piett doesn't) except Inevitable Failure.
It's about character theme.
