Forum:SH:Species-based Soldier Types in Canon

This has been something I've been wondering about for a while.

Rebel soldier classes in 2015's Battlefront are species based. An article on EA's website identifies them as "speciesname soldiertype", so there are articles titled Ishi Tib Jetpack Trooper, Rodian Sniper, Sullustan Demolition, and Quarren Heavy Gunner.

Star Wars: Commander has a multitude of species-based soldiers, such as the Bufopel Protector, Iakaru Warrior, Sullustan Recon Sharpshooter, Rodian Recon Sniper, Drabatan Saboteur, and Twi'lek Incinerator.

My question is how many of these are actually necessary? I'm feeling pretty strongly about the Battlefront ones being nothing more than a gameplay mechanic, but the Commander articles all come with in-game description that, IMO at least, make them more likely to actually be real species-specific soldier types.

Several other species-specific soldiers, such as the Wookiee warrior, Gamorrean Warrior, (both of which also appear in Commander), and Mon Calamari trooper exist. The purpose of this forum is to try to decide which articles are more like these, and which articles should be deleted and have their info placed on other pages (Sniper would get info like "some Rodians served as snipers in the Rebellion, Jetpack Trooper gets "Many Ishi Tib served in this role", etc)
