"Dug"

"Scratch"

Lt. Savvy

Lt. Falcon

The youngest member of Squad 7.

Lt. Splint

Recognizable by his modified version of the classic "stormtrooper" helmet, Splint is one of the best troopers of the 501st. As an ARC trooper, he's seen special combat in numerous forays against the Separtists droids.

























Lt. Spox

Lt. Wire

Name: Wire
Rank: Leiutanant
Species: Human
Occupation: Republic ARC Trooper
Affiliation: Squad 7~ 15th Elite Combat Brigade~ 92nd Special Missions Detachment

A "no-nonsense" fighter, Lt. Wire is a dangerous foe to encounter. He has no qualms in eliminating the threat of an enemy...on the contrary, he considers it a pleasure. The newest and second youngest member of the secrective and highly successful Squad 7, Wire is among the best in the galaxy. Wielding the sleek and swift-cutting blade of a Sangra Warrior, Wire prefieres to engage his enemy head on in the deadly thrill of hand-to-hand combat. The grim resolve which he holds and the quiet personality he maintans outside of Squad 7 and the 95th SMD have led to many names for this soldier. Among them, the more well known are "Grimhelm", "Swordfang", and "Scowler".

But for all this, Wire holds another position on Squad 7 and the 95th SMD. He is a medic who's first aid skills and knowledge of medical treatment are without equal amongst the rest of the Republic Fighting Forces. He is the first at a wounded trooper's side, and the last to give up on a individual who's life is failing.

For all his love of combat and battle-tough personality, Wire will throw it all aside to save the lives of the innocent. He plunges into a seas of danger, regardless of his own safety. He has been known to charged into the raging inferno of a bombed out building to save the life of an injured child; and he never thought twice about storming a building solo to rescue hostages taken by members of terroist organization Black Claw.

None of his successes have come without a price however. Beneath his armor, evidence of previous blaster wounds and terrible burns are apparent. But if they cause Wire pain he doesn't show it; because each wound and scar he has serves to remind him of the time he saved a life...or devestated an army.

The 91st Elite Combat Corps

A special detachment under command of the 501st, the 91st Elite Combat Corps (commonly called the 91st Elite) is a force to be reckoned with. Composed of the best of the best, the 91st Elite is made up of a wide variety of troopers, from ARC troopers and battle hardened and pilots, all the way to medics, infantrymen, and NCT's (Non Combat Troopers) who have proven their metal. Also at the fingertips of the 91st's commanding officers are several other proven troopers of military units other than the 501st.

The GL-3 Grenade Launcher

The GL-3 Grenade Launcher is an effective weapon in most combat scenarios but it is especially effective against close masses of enemy troops (such as the droids which make up the vast majority of enemy combatants) or when attempting to clear an otherwise hard to reach enemy position. It has an approximate range of 500 yards and can hold a magazine of five grenades. This usually means that troopers operating such a weapon carry additional magazines along with any other necessary gear for the mission.

The DC-16 Series

The DC-16 is the next generation assault rifle for the battalions of the Lego Republic Army. Its "easy to modify" characteristics make it a favorite among the soldiers who use it. The

From top to bottom: The DC-16A, DC-16B, and DC-16C



The most common of the series is the DC-16A, a standard gun with virtually no enhancements other than the ones made in the factory. Still a superb weapon, the DC-16A is a step above the slightly older " '15 series".

The standard DC-16


A bit more unusual yet increasingly popular is the DC-16B, which comes with a hand grip and modifications to allow a larger magazine of ammunition. It is one of the more common sights among the soldiers of the famous "Fett's Battalion".



Rarer still, is the DC-16C. Although the "C" lacks the added comfort of the DC-16B's hand grip, the "C" model of the rifle uses a modified barrel with a sound suppression system for stealth and secrecy. However, despite this feature, many troopers, including covert operatives, still prefer the DC-16B over any other military assault rifle.
