Army trooper

Army troopers were infantry soldiers in the Republic Liberation Army, a unit of Galactic Republic defectors fighting for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. The majority were former clone troopers, however, their ranks grew to include non-clone officers, conscripts, bounty hunters, and mercenaries. Given extensive training by the RLA's leader, General Alix Balan, the average army trooper was considered onto be on par with clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic by the Jedi Council. Republic troops that faced them often reported them to be significantly deadlier than battle droids.

However, that was not always the case. Due to supply shortages suffered by the RLA, some troopers received little or no proper equipment, and thus had to use scavenged weapons and armor. Some clone defectors were known to have just used their Phase I, and later Phase II, armor.
