A Republic Soldier on duty in Ahto City.
Republic soldiers were enlisted in the Republic Army from 25,053 BBY until its dissolution in 2000 BBY. The Republic Soldiers were the troops directly under Galactic Republic control, although in times of war it seems they were reinforced by levies from Republic planets. Most of the soldiers in the Army appeared to be human males. Trask Ulgo and Carth Onasi were Republic soldiers stationed on the Republic Hammerhead-class cruiser, the Endar Spire. Known Republic soldier ranks included Captain and Commander.
Arms and Equipment
Republic soldiers wore red and yellow armor and what appeared to be a black body suit underneath. Combat suits and Republic mod armor were available to Republic troops as well. Republic soldiers were issued with Blaster rifles, Blaster carbines, Blaster pistols, Disruptor rifles, and Heavy repeating blasters. Vibroswords were used for close-quarters combat due to an increase of close-quarter enemies such as the Sith during the time of the Old Sith Wars. Several types of explosives such as grenades and mines were also issued to troops for combat and demolition purposes.
Behind the scenes
The Champions of the Force set of the Star Wars Miniatures game features a miniature that is modeled after the look of the Republic soldier. The miniature is called the "Old Republic Trooper" and its rarity is "Common". In the Knights of the Old Republic set, another miniature, named "Old Republic Guard" is modeled after the appearance of the Republic soldier. A miniature called "Old Republic Captain" from the same set wears the armor of a common soldier but has an in-game commander effect.
