SCOUT TROOPER
The following is from Wookieepedia: “Preceded by the clone scout troopers of the Galactic Republic, scout troopers provided excellent long-range fire for their stormtrooper counterparts. Scout troopers notably protected the SLD-26 planetary shield generator (which protected the construction of the Death Star II over the forest moon of Endor) since the remoteness of the shield bunker necessitated speeder bikes and the thick forest environment demanded quick reflexes to traverse the landscape at high speeds. Equipped with light armor for greater mobility and optics in their helmets that allowed faster reaction times when piloting speeder bikes, scout troopers were expert marksmen, trained in reconnaissance and infiltration as well as additional independence and adaptability than most Imperial troops.”

SANDTROOPER
The following is from Wookieepedia: “Sandtroopers were stormtroopers equipped to operate on desert worlds. Their armor was augmented with cooling fans and a helmet sand filter. In addition, they wore a survival backpack stocked with extra rations and water. A detachment of Sandtroopers were dispatched to the surface of the planet Tatooine, where they searched for the missing Death Star plans. During the search, some troopers utilized the native Dewbacks as mounts.”

He also has +20% Offense and Defense for each living Imperial Trooper ally.
Move Set Explanation:
Special: Imperial Detonators
It would be nice if they fixed all of the characters with detonators to stick to an enemy acting as at attack rather than a debuff that avoids Tenacity (and Tenacity Up) at all costs. I’m sick of how easily resisted and dodged they are. This would make Boba Fett Leader ability better too along with all Bounty Hunter teams, but I digress. It would be fun to see these detonators in an Empire squad, especially with a zVader lead. Hopefully they fix the issue soon.
Special: Reprisal of the Imperial Army
This could possibly inflict 3 DoTs as well as Tenacity Down. Keep in mind though, if allies are Dazed then it’s a weakness. Also, it is possible that the second assisting ally is also an Imperial Trooper – especially if you’re running a team of only Imperial Troopers (excluding Krennic, Vader, Palp, Tarkin, Royal Guard, etc).
AT-ST DRIVER
The following is from Wookieepedia: “AT-ST drivers, also called AT-ST pilots,[2] were Imperial Army combat drivers specialized in operating the All Terrain Scout Transport. Largely pulled from the human species, two AT-ST pilots were trained to be primarily responsible for keeping an AT-ST walker moving at speed through uneven terrain, utilizing its offensive capabilities for reconnaissance and anti-personnel hunting missions. AT-ST pilots wore one-piece light grey jumpsuits with basic armor plating underneath[3] and Imperial crests on both shoulders.[1] The drivers’ feet were protected by a pair of calf-high black boots, and their hands by fire-resistant black gauntlets.
*Although they were not expected to replace standard ground-based infantry, AT-ST drivers carried blasters, grenades, thermal detonators, emergency flares and a comlink in case of emergency.
AT-ST Driver
Dark Side, Empire, Imperial Trooper, Attacker
Power: 7965 Health: 13,785 Speed: 144 Max Damage: 5600
Basic: They’re on the Run!
Deal physical damage to target enemy and inflict Defense Down for 2 turns. This attack is guaranteed a Critical Hit against Rebel enemies. AT-ST Driver has a 50% chance to gain 30% Turn Meter.

Deal special damage to all enemies with a 80% chance to inflict Expose for 2 turns. If the enemy is a Rebel then inflict 2 Damage Over Time for 2 turns. AT-ST Driver has a 30% chance per Critical Hit to gain 40% Turn Meter.
Special: Intimidation Tactics
Cooldown – 3
Deal special damage to target enemy with a 70% chance to inflict Stagger for 2 turns, guaranteed against Light Side enemies. AT-ST Driver has a 25% chance for each buff on him to remove 100% Turn Meter from the target enemy.
Unique: Trooper Cover Fire
Each time AT-ST Driver gains Turn Meter from an effect, there is a 50% chance to call a random Empire ally to assist, doubled if they are Imperial Trooper. If that ally scores a Critical Hit then they gain Retribution for 2 turns.
Move Set Explanation:
Special: AT-ST Attack
The animation for this should obviously be multiple shots of two giant laser bolt blasts from an AT-ST “overhead” just like how Tarkin’s “Ultimate Firepower”, TIE Fighter Pilot’s “TIE Strike”, Lando’s “Double Down”, Veers’ “Ruthless Assaulth” and various other examples all come from behind them.
Special: Intimidation Tactics
The animation should be one fully “charged” shot from both of the AT-ST canons standing just “overhead” of the AT-ST Driver.
