SpaceOps troops are space and shipboard SpecTroops, used for ship or station security, boarding actions, and spaceport landing assaults. Referred to as "vacheads," SpaceOps have a reputation for thick-headedness and charge-ahead attitudes.
SpaceOps are trained to fight in close quarters and in zero-g. They are typically armed with hand weapons, pistols, carbines, and grenades. A few SpaceOps units have access to armored spacesuits and battlesuits.

Pathfinders make covert drops into Imperial-held territory to perform dangerous reconnaissance missions, clear beachheads, and hold landing zones until relieved. This sort of mission must usually be performed by a fairly small taskforce, perhaps a company at most. If not relieved or retracted this small force can be annihilated once the local Imperial forces have regrouped.
The Pathfinder's secondary mission is to scout for other Spec units in ground operations. This mission is also performed in small units, but at least they have better backup if something goes wrong.
Pathfinders are typically equipped with blaster rifles, grenades, and survival gear. They often also field heavy weapons and repulsorcraft, in order to apply sufficient concentrated firepower, and travel fast and light.

Urban warfare is distinctly different from other combat terrain. The urban theater of battle is a three-dimensional maze, filled with potential hazards and fortifications. Although a relatively small percentage of planetary surfaces are urbanized, they house some 85% of the galactic population and industry, and typically serve as both planetary and hyperspacial transportation nexuses. While there are many thousands of worlds with little or no urban development, there are also hundreds of worlds that are effectively covered by city-sprawls, Courascant being the most famous example, Lianna, Karideph and Kuat being only somewhat less well-known.
Accordingly, there are SpecForce regiments dedicated to urban military operations. 3rd Regiment urban guerrillas are expert in streetfighting and house-to-house combat. This combat may take place in industrial citysprawls, in towering megalopolises, or in comparatively quiet suburban developments.
Urban Combat Specialists prefer to engage in ambushes, hit-and-fades and running battles. They are typically equipped with hand weapons, blasters, grenades, explosives, and lightly armored combat repulsorcraft.

Although the vast majority of the galactic population lives in urbanized zones, rural and wilderness areas comprise some 95 percent of the inhabitable planetary surfaces. The Alliance finds itself often needing to execute operations in a variety of wild terrain. There are so many different terrain types that the wilderness fighters sub-specialize by companies in specific environments: aquatic, arctic, desert, forest/jungle, mountains, and plains. Wilderness regiments tend to be spread a little thinner than the others. Unsurprisingly, the deep wilderness is also where the Alliance prefers to base itself, as far from Imperial centers as possible. When not engaged in missions, wilderness figthters are usually assigned to these bases to reinforce the SpecForce troopers guarding them.
Wilderness Fighters are usually equipped with blaster weapons and survival packs, and are likely to need repulsorcraft to move in the wide-open spaces. Most are trained to use heavy weapons and artillery to lessen their reliance on HWSs. Wilderness regiments are the only SpecForce branch to maintain repulsortank units crewed by one troop type.
SpecForce Infiltrators

The most feared branch of SpecForce, Infiltrators are the eyes and ears of a covert operation. These stealthy troopers slip through Imperial security to sow fear and conduct sabotage operations among the ranks and drive the officers to distraction. Infiltrators are trained to use melee weapons, silenced slugthrowers and their bare hands to accomplish their missions. Infiltrators are perhaps the busiest troopers in SpecForce, constantly being sent on missions either for SpecForce or on loan to Intelligence.
Despite their training to conduct operations with minimal equipment, Infiltrators are often equipped with the very best stealth equipment the Alliance can aquire. In addition Infiltrators have access to an impressive collection of weaponry, from slicewire garrotes to silenced subsonic sniper rifles. An ideal Infiltrator mission is not detected for hours, long after the wraiths have vanished into the night.

Scanner-Communication Operators (also referred to as "scanners", "scan-com operators" or "eyes") run the technological eyes, ears and voices of SpecForce. Not every unit or mission requires scan-com ops - Infiltrators almost never use them - but they can be very valuable team members.
Scan-Com Operators are trained in both sensor operations and communications, although in a sizable task-force SpecForce has dedicated operators for each field.

SpecForce units travel extensively, both from planet to planet and on planetary surfaces. This requires ships and vehicles, which in turn requires skilled drivers and pilots. Operating combat craft is a job for professionals, even under non-combat conditions. SpecForce transports are usually overpowered and heavily armed, and should be handled with care.
SpecForce drivers are able to handle anything from ground vehicle personnel carriers to a hovercraft to a repulsortank. They are often called on to crew a driver's gun while underway, and to boldly plow into the sort of hot combat most military-vehicle drivers are under orders to avoid.
SpecForce pilots don't get the attention that starfighter pilots - such as the infamous Rogue Squadron - do, but they fly missions as dangerous as any "fighter jock" does. Combat shuttles are under threat not only from starfighters and other space-based weapons, but also from ground-based anti-space weapons. Being responsible for the safe passage of a unit of troopers while wrestling for controls of a massive combat shuttle simply adds to the stress.

The term "technician" properly refers to any member of 7th Regiment, but is usually used to mean mechanics and combat engineers, but also includes SpecForce Medics. Regardless of their position, any Technician can be expected to be able to fix, build, modify, scrounge, or otherwise "acquire" anything a task force could possibly need.
Technicians are typically equipped with sidearms and equipment appropriate to their field.

Although other SpecForce specialists are required to possess some heavy weapons training, the experts are the 6th Regiment Heavy Weapons Specialists, commonly known as gunners. Gunners are trained in every main weapon type from light repeating blasters to capial ship guns, and conditioned to maintain their post at all costs. Heavy weapons positions in every military branch come under extremely heavy fire, resulting in two kinds of gunners: targets and veterans. Targets are dead at their post within three battles. Veterans mow down the opposition. Much like starfighter pilots, there are no mediocre gunners.
Gunners are equipped with, unsurprisingly, at least one heavy weapon, as well as a blaster pistol and hand weapons. 6th Regiment fire teams tend to be closely knit, a result of having to work and rely on each other as gun crews. They are unusual in their wide use in nearly any terrain and on a great variety of missions, moving with little difficulty from SpaceOps support missions to wilderness support missions to urban support missions. No missions call for the deployment of only heavy weapons squads, but many missions call for heavy weapon support. When not otherwise engaged, gunners often find useful berths as ship's gunners on Alliance Fleet vessels.
SpecForce Procurement Specialists
Type: SpecForce "Scrounger"
These Spectroops are usually ordinary soldiers who have a talent for "scrounging" - obtaining items in the field for the team's use. They're no substitute for a base or unit's quartermaster.
