- Combat Function: A major habit of the Leois Troopers is maintaining distance from the frontline, if you're looking for them, they'll most likely be in the back of any fighting force. Something else to note is how rarely they use their launchers, opting for the heavy blaster in most regular situations.
- Force Abilities: N/A
- The average Leois Trooper is blast trained, being able to handle explosive devices much more efficiently than most other standard troopers.
- Due to their weapons, they have some semblance of long-range combat training, being able to double as snipers if none are present, however, they certainly aren't meant for it.
- The weapons they carry contribute to a very slow movement speed, making them very vulnerable to attack while retreating.
- When it comes to close-range combat, The Leois Troopers' options are limited. Most of the time, their only option in such situations is to use the weight of their blaster rifles.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Created shortly into the reign of the second Elysium king, the Leois Troopers were the answer to heavy military opposition.
While their training is specialized, they aren't by any means veteran soldiers. Many Leois Troopers come from the standard trooper caste almost as soon as an aptitude is found in them, some of the soldiers have become experienced with time, but that's the most of it. Even when veterans do become prevalent, they're quickly pulled out, put into officer positions, and the like.
Despite all this, the Leois Troopers have still managed to maintain a reputation of power and reliability.
