Because of this, nearly every star system has a large number of people who are trained to protect it. Combat has many different forms across the Star Wars universe; the soldiers are at the forefront of all of these. Soldiers make proficient marksmen with a blaster; they are silent killers with high-tech melee weapons, brutal martial artists, skilled pilots, and the greatest commanders of troops in the entire universe. The average soldier is excellent at one or two of these arts of war, a true soldier is master of all of them.

Almost all forms of combat involve training the body to be the perfect weapon. To reflect the soldiers’ emphasis on physical prowess Strength, Dexterity, and Stamina are considered favored attributes for all soldiers.
