Trooper Class Revealed!

We are excited to reveal the next playable character class in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ – the Trooper!

The Trooper is an elite combat specialist in the Republic military armed with heavy blaster rifles and nearly impenetrable armor designed by the military’s top engineers. Trained to beat almost any odds, the Trooper battles deep behind enemy lines to carry out precise, hard hitting strikes against the enemy, with a barrage of blaster-fire and a few carefully aimed firebombs. Even Sith Lords are wise to think twice before engaging in combat with the Trooper—this is what it means to be one of the Republic’s finest.

Learn more about the Trooper class and check out the latest Trooper inspired wallpapers!

In conjunction with this announcement, GameSpot conducted an interview with Principal Lead Writer Daniel Erickson and Lead Combat Designer Damion Schubert.

They need to change the way the troopers look. Make them more unique,
because they look too much like clone troopers and this is not Clone
Wars era people.

ok first of all troopers wouldnt stand a chance against a dark jedi even in a fight wit 4 troopers dark jedis rnt tht stupid to be alone so a fight with 4 djs and 4 troopers dark jedis would win without question and the dark jedi class is my fav so far

Your are kidding right?

Awesome to see that they're trying to make non-force classes into legitimate threats, keep things fair. But I think we all know the Star Wars math equation: Force > no Force. Bottom line.
