Imperial Army Scouts

Scouts are assigned to the Imperial Army for several reasons, ranging from reconnaissance to forward observation to flanking missions to courier duties. They primarily utilize a wide variety of speederbikes, but they also use the older Storm Skimmers, a small number of Fast Attack/Recconaisance Vehicles, HMR-Vs and other repulsorcraft, along with a limited number of hover and ground vehicles.

Even the greenest of Army scouts has a high level of morale. This is because they are taken from worlds with a history of mounted warriors and the Army has reenforced this pride. Even though they are lacking in some skills, these recruits show little fear int he face of combat, and can be as tenacious as Stormtroopers and COPMForce. This has been the deciding factors in several engagements with better trained, vehicled and armed swoop gangs in the Rim.

Veteran Scouts receive a great deal of special training. Due to the high mortality rate of these lightly armed troopers, much of this learning is "on-the-job". When it is felt that they are qualified enough, they are place under the wing of Army Special Missions Command, and are attached to a SpecMission company's scout platoon. These men are used to support their elite fellows, and are often broken into individual lances, with one lance being assigned to each mission platoon of the company. When used in a PGO, they often simulate swooper gangs and Rebel "land pirates".
