Demolition Trooper

Demolition Troopers are the heavy weapons specialists of the Galactic Empire in the Missions modes of Star Wars Battlefront. During combat they will lock onto Rebel targets and fire Smart Rockets from afar. Demolition Troopers have an unlimited number of rockets, allowing them to fire several consecutive shots in rapid succession. In addition they seem to have slightly higher health than their normal Stormtrooper comrades. Should they be engaged in close quarters they will usually switch to their SE-14C Blaster Pistol sidearm.

In, they appear to have been replaced by Heavy Stormtroopers as the Empire's support gunners.

Trivia

 * Demolition Troopers make short appearances in Star Wars Battlefront II such as during the Imperial occupation of Bespin and also during the Battle of Jakku.
 * Promotional images for Star Wars Battlefront (such as the one shown on this page) depict Demolition Troopers as wearing gear similar to regular Stormtroopers. Their actual in-game appearance however is that of a helmet-less Stormtrooper. This may have been a late design choice, presumably to make them stand out better amongst a crowd of other Imperials.
