Some militia troopers were trained by Kota himself in use of energized stun batons, which they use for close-quaters melee combat in environments filled with explosives and other hazards. These specialized soldiers generally rush their enemies, attempting to surround and ovehelm them before a shot can be fired. Armed with standard blaster rifles and cylindrical thermal grenaders, militia saboteurs form the backbone of Kota's troops. These soldiers maneuver in small, tight knit groups, and are well-trained in hit and run tactics. Kota's most skilled and proficient soldiers receive the honor of joining his heavy weapons detail, often providing cover fire for other militia members and defending key positions during raids. Welding massive repeating blasters, these dangerous troopers can clear entire rooms and cause mayhem and confusion amoung even the most hardened Imperial soldiers.
