“A good soldier always knows how to use whatever equipment is at hand: computers, droids, vehicles, communications gear, and – of course – weapons. Knowing what a weapon is capable of – and more importantly, what it isn’t capable of – can save your life in a tough situation.” \u2015Colonel Marck Linth, Alliance SpecForces<\/em><\/p>\n

Commandos are the epitome of the soldier. Their lives are committed to the art of combat. When a starship in drydock needs to be destroyed, an enemy factory needs to be shut down, or a new opposing headquarters needs to be blown sky-high, the commandos get the call.<\/p>\n

Commandos were important but not overly powerful in early Star Wars Galaxies<\/i>; post NGE, they were one of the few surviving classes and specialized in heavy weapons.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Empire in Flames<\/em>, the commandos are the soldiers on the frontlines of the war.<\/p>\n

Commandos specialize in explosions and blast damage.<\/p>\n

Grenades are simple weapons, quick to use and available from any good weaponsmith. They are great for tossing AoE damage into a tight battle, often hitting multiple opponents with one explosion.<\/p>\n

Rocket launchers, on the other hand, are slow and not very accurate, but critically important for taking down enemy vehicles. A volley of rocketfire is the best answer to enemy walkers attempting to massacre friendly forces.<\/p>\n

Commandos aren’t limited to explosions, though – they bring plenty of other heavy weapons to the table. Flamethrowers, acid rifles, and disruptors all play a role for a commando – the right heavy firepower at the right time. When it comes to dealing damage or just intimidating an enemy with a big wall of fire, the commando is a go-to soldier.<\/p>\n

Commandos bring a variety of skills to the table. Most will bring at least a little medic for field emergencies, while adding some melee skills – typically either unarmed or a one-handed vibroblade for quick combat. Some prefer adding additional long-range combat to the fray, like adding a sniper rifle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
