This might be a presumption on my part. However, I thought the Royal Guard morphed into Sith Troopers. Now I'm starting to think that all those red guys Kylo and Rey chopped in half were not..........Sith Troopers?

Be that as it may............HK has a Sith Empire tag without being Sith. You could be aligned to the Sith, without actually being a Sith....maybe.

Or if that's a canon jump too far. Simply doing the job if there's a Palpatine in the lead slot.

From what I understand, Sith troopers weren't Royal Guards. The Royal Guard were an elite section of the Imperial military, and there weren't nearly enough of them to be reconstituted into standard foot soldiers.

The Royal guards who were force-sensitive were personally trained by Vader and became Shadow Guards. And the Sith Empire weren't exclusively members of the Sith Order, so HK makes sense. But non-force-sensitives being Sith doesn't, which is why Sith Trooper in-game kind of rubbed me up the wrong way.
