Imperial Scout

These specialized Stormtroopers, designated as scouts, wear lightweight armor that is considerably more flexible than the standard issue. Much like their infantry counterparts, scout troopers wear a black crystal-weave body glove underneath distinctive white scout armor. They often work in conjunction with light recon vehicles, such as Imperial speeder bikes, and are often referred to as 'Biker Scouts'. Their helmet is more versatile than the standard helmet. Its optics allows magnification of distant objects, multiple targeting, night vision and energy detection. Provided with standard Imperial weapons, the Scout usually sees an enemy long before he is seen, and takes deadly action before the enemy can react. This also allows him to call in air support if an Imperial fleet or base is in range.

These are the troops who are called in to take down heavily fortified positions or lay down cover fire for advancing troopers. Their BlasTech T21's can pin down enemy troops while cutting down any that step into the open. They also serve in the roll of taking down enemy vehicles, often Imperial equipment that has fallen into enemy hands.

Imperial Trooper

Military soldiers unswervingly loyal to the Emperor, Imperial Stormtroopers represent the most visible extension of the Empire's might. They are 'shock' troopers, meant to strike with speed and overwhelming numbers to decimate any enemy. They are often used when putting down insurrections and maintaining order on the far-flung worlds of the Empire. The distinctive bone-white armor and skull-like helmet design are both facets of the Emperor's most important maxim: rule through Fear. Many thousands of Stormtroopers serve in both the ground-based armies of Palpatine's forces, and the space-based Imperial Star Fleet. They provide the iron hand that enforces the Emperor's will across the breadth of the galaxy.

Imperial Engineer

Imperial engineers service the immense war machine that is the Empire, all in the name of the Emperor. The heavy reliance of the Empire on advanced technology means its Engineering Corps is vast and well supplied. They have a huge variety of tools at their disposal, allowing them to do quick and effective field repairs. The complex nature of the Imperial weaponry often means it fails at critical moments during battle. Engineers are thus vital to the success of any mission for the Empire where repair or improvisation is involved. They are well-equipped for battle as well, able to move with frontline troops to secure any position as well as to use demolitions skills to deny enemies the use of defensive locations.

Imperial Medic

Although the medic doesn't come to mind as the most important class in the ranks of the Imperial Army, they are crucial during (and after) every battle. They greatly contribute to the Empire's victory by healing any injured teammates. Their extensive training and exceptionally well-equipped medpacs make the Medic indispensable in front-line units. Indeed, oftentimes Stormtrooper units will work to protect their Medics during battle, to ensure they are around to see to the other Imperial's wounds once the fighting is done. A Stormtrooper serves the Empire best by living to fight another day, and in combat having a medic nearby usually ensures this and assuming that the Rebels who attacked have fairly poor aim. They are also trained to stun enemy combatants for questioning later.

Rebel Scout

Scouts are the eyes and ears of the Alliance. They are trained to work unnoticed, seeking out the enemy and reporting their findings back to Rebel battle troops. The scout's long-range weapon makes them lethal, as they usually operate beyond the visual range of their targets. Scouts often rely on stealth to achieve their mission goals, operating below an enemy's threshold of awareness until it is too late. By reporting enemy troop movements, positions and numbers, a scout can turn the tide of battle quickly in favour of the Rebel troops. Timely and accurate intelligence data is very valuable in battle operations. Yet a scout's deadliest weapon is something intangible and utterly devastating in war: total and utter surprise. And like their Imperial counterparts, with Rebel forces in orbit they can also summon an air strike.

Rebel Heavy Gunner

BlasTech DLT20A Pulse Rifle

Heavy Gunners in the Rebel forces are often those who have been heavier equiped then their Trooper breathren. Train with the DLT20A to pin down encroching enemy forces while their squad moves in to finish them off. They are also trained with the deadly and accurate PLX rocket launchers which have been in use since the Clone Wars. They use these weapons to take on Imperial Walkers and scout bikes. Without this deadly addition to the Rebel arsenal, many fights would be lost almost as soon as they had begun.

Rebel Trooper

Rebel troopers are the backbone of the Alliance army, drawn from all walks of life but united by one burning goal: the downfall of the Empire. Their flexible training allows them to tackle a wide variety of problems that would stymie regular military troops. With the Alliance always being critically short of equipment, Rebel troopers are trained on a wide variety of weapons, never knowing when they may need to 'make do' with the equipment they have on hand on any given mission. Most Rebel troopers are also highly individualistic, which makes them dangerous when combined with their hatred of the Imperial war machine. Overall, what they lack in numbers compared to the Imperials, they more than make up for in spirit alone.

The Rebel Army utilizes equipment scrounged from across the galaxy. More often than not, the equipment is broken or is more than past its projected useful lifespan. This is where the Rebel engineers come in: they are masters at repairing nearly all types of equipment on the spot. Their wealth of technical experience allows them to turn what other engineers would call junk into serviceable machinery. Time after time, Rebel engineers salvage the parts of one wrecked machine to repair another, creating a 'patchwork' effect that is common to many Rebel vehicles and equipment. Their expertise also allows them to slice most computer systems within mere seconds, giving the Alliance an edge when dealing with Imperial codes.

Rebel Medic

In an army as small as the Alliance's, each individual is of great importance to the cause. The loss of any personnel is felt keenly, as the losses cannot be easily replaced. Rebel medics are trained to save lives where even just a tiny spark of life remains. Those they tend are able to get back into battle sooner than anyone could imagine, all due to the skill of their medical attendants. Like the Rebel engineers who work miracles with machines, Rebel medics work miracles with the most basic of supplies and little else. Given time and a little rest, most Rebels can expect to be healed of most wounds within a very short period of time. Medics save lives and often risk their own to do so, again and again, in true Rebel fashion. These medics also work in the front to capture and detain enemy Troopers.
