Sharpshooter

Masters of long-range combat, sharpshooters preferred to engage their enemies from across great distances, often hundreds of meters away. Patience, control and cunning were some of the attributes that went into making a sharpshooter, but stealth was considered the greatest asset; the ability to strike a target without warning and with uncanny accuracy made them one of the most feared opponents in the galaxy.

In the military, sharpshooters, sometimes operating with a spotter, were required to infiltrate deep into enemy territory to eliminate high-profile targets, sow fear and generate confusion within the ranks of the opposite forces. Security forces on heavily urbanized worlds also trained sharpshooters for use in crisis response teams or to protect important political figures. One of the most famous sharpshooters of the New Republic, Myn Donos earned his bloodstripes as a sniper for the Corellian militia before offering his skills to the New Republic's Special Forces. He was recruited by Wedge Antilles who sought Donos for his piloting & sharpshooting skills as a member of Wraith Squadron.
