<p class="single nomargin">The elite trooper represents an individual who has received advanced combat training. More than a mere soldier, the elite trooper is highly trained and capable of taking on any number of combat-related missions, such as guarding an important location, assaulting an enemy base, or participating in stealthy insertion into enemy territory. She&rsquo;s a crack shot and, though trained the use of armor, can easily operate without it if the situation warrants. When the fighting gets particularly brutal, the elite trooper can dispatch is hand-to-hand as easily as she does with a blaster.{{newline}}Elite troopers exist in a variety of roles, but unlike Imperial stormtroopers&mdash;the &ldquo;elite troops&rdquo; of the Empire&mdash;they rely on skill and ingenuity more in sheer force and blind obedience to the Emperor&rsquo;s will. Thus, the best missions for them involve penetrating attacks deep behind enemy lines, or guerilla warfare conducted on enemy-held Worlds&mdash;situations where versatility and sheer determination are the elite trooper&rsquo;s best armaments and armor.</p></div>
