Sniper Class

The Sniper Class was a typical soldier division in most armies. It consisted of snipers (also called marksmen, sharpshooters, and sometimes even assassins) who picked off enemy troopers one-by-one with highly powered long-range rifles. Often, snipers could be set away from the center of battle where they could quietly eliminate foes and not be in danger of harm.

Snipers used magnifying scopes to target enemies and these assassins were frequently used to wipe out commanders and high-ranking officers or as backup for offensive vanguard soldiers.

The most famous snipers were the scout troopers of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, clone assasssins of the Grand Army of the Republic, battle droid assassins of the Battle Droid Army, and the Rebel marksman under the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
