Umbaran Soldiers were members of the Umbaran militia who served their homeworld as militants.

HistoryEdit

The Umbarans were highly trained in combat, which proved effective during the Republic assault on their homeworld. They caused heavy casualties on the Republic side using the cover of darkness^[source?] which continuously covered Umbara.^[1]

EquipmentEdit

They were encased inside a protective suit which covered their faces^[2][3][4][5] and if breached can prove fatal to the Umbarans.^[source?] Their helmets fed its wearer a potent gas mixture that kept them ready for combat, improving their reflexes and aggression level.^[6] They utilized their standard blasters^[7] but also made use of other advanced weapons such as the millicreep^[8] and the Umbaran hover tank.^[9]
