Name: Mandalorian Scout Trooper
Rank: Mandalorian
Tier: Middle 3
Background: The Mandalorian Scout Troopers pre-date the state of Mandalore itself, having been a common unit type prior to even the first Mandalorian Crusade. In a time where communications could not be risked due to a lack of understanding of the Force, Scouts were the most effective way for Mandalorians to report the movements of the Republic or Sith while also having their security upheld.
Interestingly, even after further understanding of force abilities were learned after the Mandalorian Wars, the Scout persisted, with the prior programs effectiveness at range and surviving on their own for extended periods of time being used into the Great Galactic War, and then later on being used extensively in the Mandalorian Civil War due to the wide scale adaptation of guerrilla tactics.
The unit has persisted for thousands of years, and is a staple of any standard Mandalorian military, as it's adapted with the times.

Scout Troopers can have equal movement speed to their combat speed for 3 actions every event.
Equipment: Proficient in Flamethrowers and Wrist Rocket Launchers; Mandalorian Beskar Armour; GALAAR-90 Blaster Rifle; Two WESTAR-35 Blaster Pistols; Supercommando Jetpack; Utility Belt & Pouches with: Medical Supplies, Power Packs, Ration Capsules, Macrobinoculars, and 4 V-1 Thermal Detonators.
Weaknesses: Cocky and arrogant fighters. Easily led into a trap where they believe they can succeed in a fight. Always try to best the strongest opponent around.
The Scout Trooper prefers fighting from long range with blasters, or using thermal detonators to cause havoc, and as such, is moderately predictable in their strategy and thus easier to work around. Furthermore, causing the Scout’s detonators to explode while on their person is an almost guaranteed method of taking the Scout Trooper down, though attempting this strategy is a heavy gamble unless you are able to catch the Scout off-guard.
