The Republic is a democratic collection of systems and planets dedicated to peace for the Galaxy. However, plans were put into motion to by the dark lord of the Sith known as Darth Sidious. Under the disguise of Senator Palatine from Naboo he used the trade federation to get him elected to Chancellor. As Chancellor he was able to move the Republic towards a civil war.
When he received emergency power from senate he created the Grand Army of the Republic formed of clones of a Bounty Hunter name Jango Fett. The events of this war will lead to the destruction of the Jedi and the creation of the Galactic Empire.
The Grunts of this war are Clone Troopers created from the modified genetic data of Jango Fett. The result was a fearsome and loyal infantry man who would lay down his life for a cause that many might not. These troopers would become more indepenent as the war goes on.
Equipment and Attributes:
Blaster Rifle: A repeating long rifle with barrel. It is fully automatic and fires blue blaster shots. (It might be like and EMP enhanced blaster rifle, but I never read anything about it.)

The ARC Trooper is known as the best of the best of the Grand Army of the Republic. The ARC Troopers were hand trained by Jango Fett before his untimely beheading by Mace Windu. ARC stands for Advance Reconnaissance Commando, and they were to be sent behind enemy lines to punch holes in the heart of the enemies. Their elite status was only rivaled by the Republic Commandos. (As seen in 'Star Wars Republic Commando')
ARC Troopers wield the devastating new missile launcher as well as wrist mounted weapons. (Not used in the game.) ARC Troopers are Identified by their Elite Blue armor, custom helmets, shoulder plates, and blast resistant skirt armors. They are fearsome warriors and should never be taken lightly.
(Despite this tremendous history, the ARC troopers share the limitations of all Heavy Support troops. They are slower and more limited than other troopers.)
Equipment and Attributes:
Missile Launcher: A heavy Missile launcher that holds two independent shots in the chamber cutting down reload time for the first two shots. It is homing.
Blaster Pistol: A regular pistol that is good for close quarters and has Unlimited ammo.
Thermal Detonator: A High Explosive grenade that is good against infantry and light vehicles.
Mines: Anti-Vehicle mines are good for punching through the tough armor of heavy armor vehicles.

The clone pilot is an unsung hero of the battle field for the republic. They are the ones who bring the troops to the front-lines and keep them supplied. In some ways the pilot is just as important as the famous elite ARC Troopers. (However, they can't fight worth a darn in my opinion.)
The Pilot is armed with a Bolt Caster that fires a electric lightning bolt and and opponent. It's power is increased as it is charged, but beware of misusing it. Stick to the pistol for farther ranges as well. He can repair objects and maintain vehicles in flight. He can also ditch vehicles in mid-air
Equipment and Attributes:
DN Bolt Caster: An energy weapon with limited range, but decent power when charged. It has unlimited ammo, but is prone to overheating.
Blaster Pistol: An accurate ranged pistol with unlimited ammo.
Fusion Cutter: A blowtorch that repair vehicles, droids, and turrets. As well as certain other objects.
Health Dispenser: A tool the drops Health and Ammo for troops to pick up.

The Jet Trooper is the Republic's Special Unit. They are little know in the history of the clone wars, but they serve well and are a great unit in Star Wars Battlefront. The wear a jet pack similar the Jango Fett's replacement pack at the end of Episode II. The Clones use Jango 'Genetic Memory' to use the packs with little specialized training. Bear the green strips of a Sergeant, and are used as scout on ruff or no terrain.
Equipment and Attributes:
EMP Launcher: A simplified rocket launcher that fires electromagnetic pulse charges. It is useful at taking down Droideka Shields and can kill a droid in a single shot. It has a two round clip.
Commando Pistol: Possibly one of the best pistols in the game. It fires faster, longer, and more accurately than most other pistols. It has unlimited ammo, and you might find yourself relying heavily on it.
Thermal Detonator: A high-explosive grenade that is good against infantry and light vehicles.
Jet Pack: Activated as a Second Jump, this lets you maneuver around the battlefields airspace with ease. It consumes less fuel and recharges faster than the Jet Troopers Jump Pack, and you have far more control over it.
