After the Clone Wars, the people began to realize the Emperor was corrupt. The result was the beginnings of a revolution. The Rebel Alliance was formed to fight the Galactic Empire that was once the Republic. The Rebels are not as numerous as the Imperialist. They have fewer resources, and troops. However, this made them more resourceful, and began to do guerilla attacks at key Imperial installation. The Empire still was strong, and was going to do whatever it took to put the rebels down. The Rebels Infantry unit is the Rebel Soldier. Rebel soldiers come from all walks of life, without the benefit of years of Imperial combat training. But they are unmatched in their will, enthusiasm and devotion to their cause. They do not wear armor, or engage in standard warfare, preferring guerilla tactics and lightning strikes against the ponderous Imperial juggernaut. The Rebel soldier is effective against infantry, especially when they employ squad-based tactics. Equipment and Attributes: BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Rifle: The Rebel soldier's main combat weapon has a fully automatic mode, with the ability to switch to a unique charged-shot mode. BlasTech DL-44 Blaster Pistol: Even on the battlefield, an easily concealed accurate sidearm can be quite useful. This model is favored by smugglers and pirates. The Blaster Pistol offers a single shot per trigger pull. Thermal Detonator: Thermal detonators carried by Rebel troops have a balanced blast radius, tuned for maximum effect against enemy troops and minimal friendly casualties.

The Rebel Heavy Trooper is The Rebel Vangaurd. Those looking to leave their mark on an Imperial Walker can surely find a way in the Rebel Vanguard division. When asked why someone would want to do this line of work, the Vanguard's most common answer is: "So I can blow Imperials up!" Always given the tough assignments, Vanguards are called upon to punch holes in an Imperial vehicle brigade. The heavy weapons they carry provide the means to take down menacing enemy air and ground vehicles. Equipment and Attributes: Proton Torpedo Launcher: Packing the extra punch needed to crack through a tough position, the scaled-down version of the Krupx MG7 Proton Torpedo Launcher is prized among the Rebel Vanguards. BlasTech DL-44 Blaster Pistol: Even on the battlefield, an easily concealed accurate sidearm can be quite useful. This model is favored by smugglers and pirates. Mine Dispenser: On the battlefield every edge is needed, even when that edge is a highly explosive one. Mine Dispensers are an excellent backup weapon for the covert destruction of one's enemies.

Rebel Pilots don't always have the benefit of Imperial Naval training, but dedication and resolve have helped many Rebel pilots out of tough situations, both in and out of the cockpit. Rebel Pilots are capable at initiating repairs and are also the only units that can eject safely out of damaged vehicles. They are adept at wreaking havoc on enemy vehicles and helping with the construction of makeshift command posts. Equipment and Attributes BlasTech DL-44 Blaster Pistol: Even on the battlefield, an easily concealed accurate sidearm can be quite useful. This model is favored by smugglers and pirates. Haywire Grenade: The electromagnetic field created by Haywire Grenades has a small blast radius, but is effective against vehicles. Fusioncutter: The Fusion cutter is a general-purpose device. It can repair vehicles and buildings and construct objects.

The Rebel Scout is a Rebel Marksmen. Rebel Marksmen know what it means to "lead" a target. A highly motivated team of marksmen can turn a marching company of Imperial Stormtroopers into one or two fleeing Imperial Stormtroopers before they even get close to a Rebel base. The marksmen have the specialized task of finding and eliminating targets from a safe distance. They are deadly accurate and can even the odds on the battlefield. Equipment and Attributes Sniper Rifle: Effective over a great distance, sniper rifles are the preferred weapons of choice for those wishing to remain hidden from their target. BlasTech DL-44 Blaster Pistol: Even on the battlefield, an easily concealed accurate sidearm can be quite useful. This model is favored by smugglers and pirates. Thermal Detonator: Thermal detonators carried by Rebel troops have a balanced blast radius, tuned to be dangerous to enemy troops and minimize friendly casualties.

The Rebels have two specialty units. The first is Chewbaka? Whenever there is a need to slip past an Imperial Fleet undetected, just look for a smuggler. For a fee, the smuggler is willing to take the risk of running contraband right under the Emperor's nose. Smugglers possess a versatility well worth their fees and the Rebel Alliance often calls upon them to do the dirty work of bringing supplies to the battlefront for the battle-weary Rebel Troopers. Equipment and Attributes BowCaster: The Bowcaster is less advanced than a blaster pistol, but it packs quite a powerful punch. Hand-built by the master weapon crafters of Kashyyyk, the bowcaster is the traditional weapon of the Wookiees. BlasTech DL-44 Blaster Pistol: Even on the battlefield, an easily concealed accurate sidearm can be quite useful. This model is favored by smugglers and pirates. Chiewab GLiS Emergency Medpac: These inexpensive kits carry a wide variety of medicines and emergency care tools, perfect for a quick "fixer-upper." The next is the Rebel Spy. Bothan Spies are an integral part of the Rebel Alliance's effort to gather information on Imperial plans. They are very good at disguising themselves and staying covert while infiltrating an enemy base. Spies often use the element of surprise when attempting to sabotage Imperial operations. Equipment and Attributes A high-tech blaster and lethal demolition pack are rumored to accompany a highly versatile disguise kit in the Spy's armaments. The Rebel Spy employes several other techniques and abilities LucasArts would like to keep secret 'til later! I Believe he can disguise himself as another trooper and take his powers, but I really don't know. Thus concludes my in depth look at the Rebel Alliance. I plan to do the Empire next. Thank you Ign.com for making all this work.
