Rebel Trooper
Brought together from the farthest reaches of the galaxy the Rebel Troopers are a rag-tag group of soldiers who fight fiercely for their freedom and the freedom of the galaxy from the iron grip of the Empire. Though not as well trained as their Imperial counterparts the Rebel Trooper believes strongly in his or her cause and is always willing to put his or her life down for the cause.

Imperial Officer
In charge of leading troops into battle, the Imperial Officer is a cunning breed. In charge of organizing the planed attacks in the Empire's gambit to control the galaxy the Imperial officer is not normally seen at the front. Instead he normally directs his troops from a rear command post. Even though they may be cunning, the Imperial Officer is not normally trained to participate in the battle and instead relies on his forces to do the dirty work.

Golan Arms CR-1 Blaster Cannon
Due to the fact that the Empire has contracted most if not all decent arms suppliers and developers the Rebels are constantly behind in technological advances. Thus has lead to the Rebels thinking of new and ingenious ways of 'modifying' older armaments. The Golan Arms CR-1 Blaster Cannon is one such case. After a raid on a Golan Arms supply depot in the Ac'fren Spur the Rebels discovered a cache of clone-era weaponry. The CR-1 Blaster Cannon was among the weapons and has become on of the Rebels most prized weapons. The CR-1 Blaster Cannon has an over-sized energy chamber and is an extremely powerful piece of carried blaster artillery. Thanks to the over-sized energy chamber the CR-1 blaster cannon fires off a more powerful shot than even a heavy blaster rifle. The weapon is capable of firing multiple burst per shots. However due to a limited supply and specific power requirements the weapon is not used in mass numbers among the Rebel forces.

TIE Interceptor
The fastest of the Imperial TIE models the Interceptor is both fast and deadly. The prototype of the Interceptor was the personal craft of Lord Vader during the Battle of Yavin IV. With a sleeker design that hints toward it's incredible speed the Interceptor is believed to be the fastest fighter. An important design change made to the Interceptor was that two square were cut from the solar wings making it much easier to see to the left and right of the craft where as with the original TIE the pilot had to trust his censor. Though they would not see actual service until the end of the Galactic Empire during the Battle of Endor they more than earned their wings during that conflict.

Scout Trooper
The Imperial Scout Trooper is designated with the task of forward reconnaissance. Compared to standard Imperial armor the Scout Troopers armor is more light weight and flexible. Although designated as scouts these troopers also double as the Empire's sniper division and are often sent past the front not only to discover enemy positions but to assassinate key Rebel officers. Though their armor is weak their Tenloss Disrupter Sniper Rifle's range and power more than makes up for it.

Ohhh, that's nice. I think my favorite is the Scout Trooper. I don't think I've seen one modeled like this before. I really like how his luggage is actualy luggage, and not lines drawn on his uniform. When I say luggage, I mean the bags and etc. hanging off of him.

Re: 7/April/06 Update

It's hard to give a release date, which is why we aren't. I don't want to leak anything I'm not allowed to be we're mostly polishing existing content. In the earlier days of First Strike we didn't have an understanding of the required models and textures so alot of our models weren't setup properly. Alot of our models don't have the proper collision and detail meshes needed to begin coding them and getting them in-game.

The updates are only going to get better and better from this point on...
