Bothan commando

Bothan commandos were highly trained soldiers of the Bothan race.

They were noted as being instrumental in conjunction with the Bothan spies to obtain the Death Star II's plans from an Imperial freighter. Many of these commandos and spies were killed in the process of bringing those plans to the Rebel Alliance. However, they were ultimately able to bring them to Rebel leader Mon Mothma who's team developed a strategy that was ultimately successful in bringing about the destruction of the Death Star battle station. Many Bothan Spies and Commandos died in the process of stealing and bringing the plans for the second Death Star to the Rebel Alliance. They were able to get the plans to Rebel leader Mon Mothma, who’s team developed the strategy that brought the end to that deadly space station.

However, their actions led to the race suffering greatly at the hands of the Empire with known instances of Emperor Palpatine personally committing atrocities against the race for their treachery. These actions only moved the Bothans to the rebel cause and became one of their greatest allies. Their mastery of disguise and infiltration made them excellent commandos with some even makign use of personal cloaking devices.
