Behind the scenes
In the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, the commando was one of the professions to survive the so-called "New Game Enhancements" of 2005 and be included as one of the nine iconic starter professions. In the game, they specialize in the use of heavy weaponry and other explosives.

The commando will be an advanced class for the trooper class in the newly released Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO video game. This advanced class specializes in heavy blaster cannons and grenades. The Imperial counterpart for this archetype will be the mercenary.
