Rebel alliance Rebel Soldier: The rebel soldier is effective against infantry, especially when they employ squad-based tactics. Equipment: blaster rifle, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and concussion grenades. Rebel Vanguard Vanguards are called upon to punch holes in a Imperial vehicle brigade. The heavy weapons they carry provide the means to take down menacing enemy air and ground vehicles. Equipment: missile launcher, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and mine dispenser. Rebel pilot Rebel pilots automatically regenerate the health of whatever vehicle they occupy and are capable of repairing damaged vehicles, droids and turrets. They also serve as battlefield medics and ammo suppliers. Equipment: Blaster cannon, blaster pistol,fusion cutter, and health and ammo dispenser. Wookie Smuggler The strongest of the rebels. It can take the most hits by a blaster rifle. It is very strong, and a very good allie. Use this allie, to take down a lot of enemy's. Equipment: Bowcaster, grenade launcher, and time bomb Rebel Marksman Take down enemy's from far away with the rebel marksman. Shot with you high tech Sniper rifle, and kill enemy's from the safest position. They won't now what hit them. It is also funny when you shot, there team mates look around for the shooter. Equipment: Sniper Rifle, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and recon droid. 4. Galactic Empire Stormtrooper Has an amour of still, a iron will. Use the stromtrooper with no fear. As they sense no fear, they fight and die for battle. They no nothing else but fighting, killing, dying, shooting, no fear, blood, screams, they live for war, they are not afraid of death as they are death. Equipment: Blaster rifle, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and concussion grenades. Shock trooper The shock trooper is a great back up for blaster based troopers. Use it powerful rocket launcher in tight situations and to take ships out of the sky! Use the rocket launcher on many enemy troops, if you are in trouble. If you are near death, they will put up a hell of a fight. Equipment: missile launcher, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and mine dispenser. Imperial Pilot Imperial pilots are great help, up in the air, and are also a great help on the ground, they will regenerate your health, fix turrets, droids vehicles. They are awesome! Equipment: Mortar launcher, blaster pistol, fusion cutter, and health/ ammo dispenser. Scout trooper Scout troopers stay high above the enemy and kill them in one or two hits. The sniper trooper (Scout trooper) is very good and helpful, but they can not zoom in as far as the Rebels Marksman! Equipment: Sniper rifle, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and recon droid. Dark trooper Dark troopers are helpful to get pass enemy lines without being seen, they use there jet pack, to fly into the sky, past enemy lines, and then realese mayhem as there rampage for damage continues. Equipment: Blast cannon, blaster pistol, and thermal detonator. 5. Republic Clone Troopers They are the base of the republic army, great in high numbers, but can also do sneaky damage in low numbers. Without the Clone trooper there wouldn't even be a republic army! Equipment: Blaster rifle, blaster pistol, EMP grenades, and concussion grenades. ARC trooper The ARC trooper far by the most important, because with out the blowing up of vehicles, there would be no battle. The vehicles could easily kill all the Clone troopers, but because they do have the ARC trooper, they can over take any challenge. Equipment: missile launcher, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and mine dispenser. Clone Pilot Clone pilots are useful, give health to other troopers, repair broken, turrets, droids and vehicles. Equipment: DN bolt caster, blaster pistol, fusion cutter, and health/ammo dispenser. Clone sharpshooter Take enemy's out without being seen. Hide high up in a tree, zoom and shot. The enemy will not have a chance. Take out a bunch of enemy's in 30 seconds! Equipment: Sniper rifle, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and recon droid. Jet trooper Cover great distances in seconds, by using its jet pack. Equipment: EMP launcher, commando pistol, and thermal detonators. 6. Cis Super battle droid Very powerful and helpful, use carefully as they are easily destroyed. HA. Use in a big group an take out anything you want to! The back bone of the CIS. as without them there wont be a war, it would be to easy! Equipment: Wrist blaster, tri-shot, and wrist rocket! Assault Droid Assault droids are cheaply made yet serve there purpose, and there purpose is to destroy all that goes along the ground without using feet! Good, but they are easily destroyed! Equipment: missile launcher, blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and mine dispenser. Pilot droid Very helpful, when a vehicle is damaged and this droid is in it, it will automatically start regaining health. HOW COOL IS THAT? Also can heal team!

Droideka (Destroyer droid) This is the most feared enemy in the galaxy. Even feared by Jedi Knights. They can unleash 2 very powerful repeating blasters, that destroy there enemy's. Equipment: Repeating blasters and shield emitter. 7. Best troops for Rebels The best troops for the Rebels I would have to say our Rebel soldier, wookiee smuggler and Rebels marksman. Rebel soldier= 1 Wookie smuggler= 2 Rebels marksman= 3 Other team Soldier = a 1 with a group of 1's, are very powerful and can take over a small group of a's. 2 with a group of 2 other 2's, can do a lot of damage for just 3 2's. Powerful guns that can be charged. Also they can use time bombs. 3 2's could take over a group of 5 a's. 3 up high on a platform, could easily take out a group of a's, as they would not know what hit them. Hopefully you understood all that! 8. Best troops for Empire I would say, Stormtrooper, Shock trooper and Dark trooper. Stormtrooper = 1 Shock trooper = 2 Dark trooper = 3 Other team Solider = a 1 could easily kill 2 a's. So that means, that 5 1's could easily kill 10 a's. So an army of 1's around about 50 could kill easily 100 a's. 2 could kill 5 a's with a missile launcher. That makes it a very powerful soldier. So an army of 2's could take out around 200 a's. But 2's take a time to reload, so it would in the end be. 1 2 could kill 5 a's. Army of 2's could take out around 200 a's - 5 1's every shot as of reload = 100 a's would be taken out, but to many 2's would be taken out, so you would be left with barely any 2's 3 could fly over enemy s lines, kill 1 a. Land, start causing mayhem. So 2 3's would take out if they are lucky 10 a's. 9. Best troops for Republic Clone trooper = 1 Clone sharpshooter = 2 ARC trooper = 3 other team soldier =a 1 takes out around 2 a's. 50 1's take out 100 a's. 100 1's take out 200 a's. BUT. 1's loose aim, and start shooting widely and kill own people. But in the end 1's would win against a's. 2 takes out 5 a's if they don't move, but if they do move then, they might only take out about 2 or 3 a's. 3 takes out about one vehicle on there own through a whole game. One vehicle holds 2 a's, but can do damage up to about 40 a's. So in a way 3 takes out 42 a's, but that is only through one game. So different vehicles added together. 10. Best troops for Cis Droideka = 1 Super battle droid = 2 other team soldier = a 1 can take out easily 2 a's. 1 has a shield that can take up to 3 a's to destroy. As 1 can shoot through shield, they have time to destroy all 3 a's. But 1 can easily destroy with shield on and in an army up to 100 a's. 2 can take out 3 a's. But 2 can be easily destroyed by 4 a's. so it can be risky, but 2 is very powerful in the gun area, and I have destroyed up to 50 on my own in a game with a 2. 11. Types of vehicles Scout vehicles This type of ground vehicle is fast and light. They can zip across the battlefield at great speed, but one wrong turn, and you hit into something , the vehicle will blow up. Type includes: 74-Z speederbike and the STAP Medium assault vehicles This is heavier and slower than scout vehicles but they do pack quite a big punch, that makes up for it! Includes: Rebel combat landspeeder, TX-130s fighter tank, AAT, and hailfire droid. Heavy assault vehicles These vehiclesa re even heavier slower, but more heavly armed and armored. Used mostly at the front of the batlle. Includes: spider droid and AT-ST. Heavy assault transport These vehicles can blow things apart easily, and as well as serving as the most powerful vehicle they are also a mobile command post! Includes: AT-TE, AT-AT , and MTT. Starfighters Very useful, guick and nimble. Good to use, if you are in a rush to get from one place to anouther! Includes: Jedi starfighter, droid starfighter, X-wing, TIE fighter, Y-wing, TIE bomber, and geonosian starfighter. Attack transport flyer's Give good back up to team ships. Includes: Republic gunship and MAF. 12. Thanks/Credits Just want to say a few thank yous. Thanks to Cheat happens. Thanks to Family for support. Thanks to Lucasarts for an amazing game.
