Rebel Marksman/Legends



The rebel marksman division were the snipers of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. They were known to reduce a company of imperial stormtroopers and their officers to two fleeing stormtroopers.

Equipment
Typically, a marksman is equipped with an E-17d sniper rifle, their standard issue. This allowed the marksmen to take out troops or officers from a distance. Should they be pressed into combat, the marksmen are equipped with blaster pistols and thermal detonators. Another weapon the marksmen use are recon droids and auto turrets. Recon droids are used to scout enemy territory and call orbital strikes on enemy emplacements while auto turrets protect friendly positions.

History
Various rebel marksmen participated in the ground battle of Yavin. There they helped cover the alliance's escape by sniping imperial troops doing battle with the rebel forces. Other battles included the Battle of Bespin, the Battle of Hoth, and the Battle of Endor, among others.
