Phasma also makes sure to memorize the serial numbers of all stormtroopers under her command.
Captain Phasma was in charge of the stormtroopers on Starkiller Base at the time FN-2187 (Finn) went rogue and assisted the Resistance in attacking the base. Finn, Han Solo, and Chewbacca cornered Phasma and forced her to drop the base’s shields, allowing for its eventual destruction. It is not known if Captain Phasma survived the base’s destruction as it is implied she was dumped in the base’s trash compactor by Finn and Han.
