Republic soldier

Republic soldiers were enlisted in the Republic Army from 25,053 BBY until its dissolution in 2,000 BBY. The Republic Soldiers were the troops directly under Galactic Republic control, although in times of war it seems they were reinforced by levies from Republic worlds. Most of the soldiers in the Army appeared to be human males. Trask Ulgo and Carth Onasi were Republic soldiers stationed on the Republic Hammerhead-class cruiser, the Endar Spire. Known Republic soldier ranks included Captain and Commander.

Arms and Equipment
Republic soldiers wore red and yellow armor and what appeared to be a black body suit underneath. Combat Suits and Republic mod armor were available to Republic troops as well. Republic soldiers were issued with Blaster rifles, Blaster carbines, Blaster pistols, Disruptor rifles, and Heavy repeating blasters. Vibroswords were used for close-quarters combat due to an increase of close-quarter enemies such as the Sith during the time of the Old Sith Wars. Several types of explosives such as grenades and mines were also issued to troops for combat and demolition purposes. Durring the Great Galactic War, the Cold War and possibly later conflicts, the majority of Republic soldiers operating on the groun were issued defensive armor was specially designed to provide maximum protection and flexibility for a wide range of environments. It was also capable of withstanding anything from laser fire to bomb blast. The design of their armor appears to have serve the basis of the armor donned by the clone troopers millennia later during the last years of Republic.

Behind the scenes
