- ―Sardis Ramsin, on Dewback troopers
Dewback troopers,[3] also known as Dewback Riders,[4] were sandtroopers who utilized dewbacks as mounts. They used jolts of electricity to control the beast, forcing them to batter down the property of those opposed to the Galactic Empire.[3] In addition, Dewback troopers were known to utilize flamethrowers[4] like the CR-24 Flame Rifle.[5] They could also used T-21 light repeating blaster,[6] or the RT-97C heavy blaster rifle.[7]
