I agree with you both. Thecrazyweirdo, I only chose the Assassin because it was the only republic melee unit I knew of, however I am open to suggestions. Your suggestion of the Imperial Royal Guard gave me the idea, that like in Battlefront II the snipers are scout troopers on Kashyyykk and Felucia and Mustafar in a specific game type, the Royal Guard could replace the melee unit for specific maps like Coruscant and the Death Star. I love your idea of the Wookiees with Ryyk blades. However your Rebel suggestion has me slightly confused. The Alliance Guard? Do you mean the Rebel Honor Guard seen at the end of Episode IV?

I also believe that a melee attack for all units would be good, but I would be welcoming of a melee unit designed to get in close and deal heavy damage. My idea of a melee attack by the other units would be like that used by The Rookie in Aliens vs Predator, the 2010 video game, in which the player will knock back the enemies, but not hurt them. Instead disorient them for a short time, opening a window to shoot them, reload their current weapon or switch to a fully loaded weapon.
