Republic trooper (playable class)

**Republic trooper**, simply known as **Trooper**, is one of the four Galactic Republic playable classes./.

## Overview

### Description

#### Duty, defense of the Republic and honor

Not all heroes carry Lightsabers. Some just have the will to fight.

For decades, the armed forces of the Galactic Republic defended their civilization against the (seemingly) unstoppable Sith Empire. Despite countless setbacks, the men and women of the Republic military never backed down; until the senate ordered them to do so. These brave souls remain ready and willing to lay their lives on the line today.

In the wake of the Treaty of Coruscant, the republic military has begun recruiting from within it's own ranks, creating cutting-edge special forces squads for the inevitable day when the war with the Sith Empire begins anew. These advanced strike teams are comprised of only the most talented and disciplined soldiers - a new breed of elite republic troopers.

These republic troopers are the embodiment of the republic military's highest aspirations - the most advanced fighting force in the galaxy. They are equipped to face any foe in any environment, but it's not their gear that makes them tough - it's their guts. The republic trooper's greatest weapons are their indomitable spirit, their unwavering sense of duty and their undying loyalty to each other and to the ideals that; the republic represents. In this age, the stakes have never been higher.

The republic must win or face extinction. The fate of the galaxy rests upon ordinary men becoming extraordinary heroes. This is the path of the republic trooper.

#### Relations with the Jedi Order

The knights of the Jedi Order have defended the Galactic Republic for generations, but they have not fought alone. A host of unsung heroes have marched at the jedi's side - common men courageous enough to enlist and face the same risks as their jedi comrades; despite not having access to the power of the force. These heroes have not gone unappreciated; by the jedi. The men and women of the Republic military are accorded complete respect and admiration by the Jedi Order and by the republic's political leaders.

In the years since the Treaty of Coruscant, the jedi have withdrawn in significant numbers to their homeworld of Tython. Their presence in the republic military, although still significant, is not what it was during the war. In many ways, the republic's newly-trained elite republic troopers have stepped up to take charge of the republic's defenses; when republic troopers are partnered with the jedi, they are a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield.

#### Field reconnaissance

Deployed to the hairiest battlefields in the galaxy, republic troopers generally travel in small, specialized squads. But it is not uncommon, to see a republic trooper engaging enemies on his or her own; whether operating solo or in groups, members of the Republic Special Forces Division have become intimidating opponents to their enemies.

#### Outfitting

The republic's experiments with a new generation of heavy blaster rifles have; proven successful, sparking a galaxy-wide trend towards larger, more powerful and more versatile armaments. It takes a great deal of strength and training, but to wield these war machines, so they're rarely used outside the Republic military.

Republic engineers have also worked overtime fashioning new defensive gear for the republic's most elite soldiers, armor suits that; provide maximum protection and flexibility in several different types of environments.

#### Combat tactics

Whether fighting as part of a small strike squad or at the forefront of a larger force, the republic trooper can unleash unrivaled firepower against his enemies. A republic trooper's rifle is his best friend, and the Republic military is constantly challenged to design faster, more powerful and more reliable blaster rifles every year. Wielding; such rifles and wearing protective battle armor designed by the Republic's top engineers, the republic trooper will not hesitate to step right into the crossfire. Whether storming a base or a battlefield, the republic trooper charges into the fight, blaster-rifle blazing, to clear a path for freedom and justice.

Although a republic trooper's tactical strengths tend to rely on ranged technology and superior firepower, standard training involves lengthy exercises in close-quarters combat. A slam to the face from a cortosis-reinforced rifle stock is a very effective melee maneuver.

In addition to the arsenal of attacks available to the republic trooper using his rifle, standard trooper equipment often; includes a number of sticky grenades. Nearly impossible to remove, these explosives unerringly dispose of the target and anyone standing nearby. Taking full advantage of the modern rifle's versatile attachments, the republic trooper can launch a high-powered grenade that explodes on impact, incapacitating a single target.

## Abilities

* *See Republic trooper abilities*.

A republic trooper uses several heavy weapons ranging from laser rifles to two-handed heavy cannons. The troopers focus on heavy blaster rifles and a range of grenades and quick melee attacks. The resource for their abilities is "energy cells" which recharges at a rate based off how much ammo is currently in your weapon (3/4 ammo recharges 75% speed, half = 50% speed, etc) and can be quickly recharged with the ability "fast reload". Your energy cells regenerate faster at higher energy levels. As your energy cells deplete, so does the rate at which they regenerate. To maintain a high level of energy cells, use Hammer Shot regularly to allow your energy cells to regenerate.

A republic trooper can be specialized to deal substantial DPS (damage per second) but can also serve as a group's primary tank; due to their armor and large amount of health. They can also act as main healers through the Commando's Combat Medic tree.

A republic trooper's main stats are aim and endurance. Aim increases the ranged damage of the republic trooper and endurance increases the republic trooper's hit points.
