LucasArts' Star Wars Battlefront II is fast approaching. IGN did a bit on Battlefront's special units, here's the abridged text version.
Dark Trooper
Even the elite 501st Legion has its champions. Dark Troopers, both swift and deadly, are a fearsome enemy. Their jetpacks give them the advantage of surprise, while their Arc-Caster can bring groups of enemies to their knees. Only the most battle-hardened troopers have the skill to climb to their elite ranks. Do you have what it takes?
Imperial Officer
It takes a special kind of trooper to lead the 501st. Someone who's strategic, team-oriented, and merciless. Lead your troops into the heart of battle, and inspire them to fight in the name of the Empire. Unleash a volley of mortars or pinpoint a target with your sonic blaster. Your orders are clear, and you must lead by example - take no prisoners.
Wookiee
It is said that when you face a Wookiee, you face two enemies: the Wookiee himself and the Wookiee's rage. Use your bowcaster and meet your enemy on the field of battle. Bring honor to your people, and show these Imperial tyrants why it's unwise to upset a Wookiee.
Bothan Spy
The Bothan Spy -- masters of stealth and subterfuge. Cloak yourself behind enemy lines, disintegrate any opposition you face, and sabotage their base of operations. It's your job to pave the way clear for your comrades. Their lives and the fate of the Rebellion rest on your shoulders.
Jet Trooper
Whether on solid ground or in the air, the Jet Trooper is a powerful enemy to confront. Armed with a high-powered energy launcher, the Jet Trooper does not discriminate potential targets. Soft bodies, droids, vehicles -- they're all fair game to a Jet Trooper.
Clone Commander
Bred to think more freely and imbued with enhanced tactical abilities, Clone Commanders are super soldiers quite literally born to lead Republic infantry. Equipped with a high rate-of-fire projectile cannon, Commanders are capable of shredding through several droids within seconds. Along with the inherent ability to boost the morale of all clone troopers, a Clone Commander's sole purpose in life is to bring victory to the Republic.
Droideka
Cold, calculating, and fearless, Droidekas aren't interested in simply defeating their enemies - they intend to completely annihilate them as well. Armed with huge twin blasters and a personal deflector-shield generator, it can take an entire squad of infantry to successfully assault a skilled Droideka.
MagnaGuard
Personally trained by General Grievous, the MagnaGuard is the elite soldier of the Confederate army with one simple task in mind: the destruction of its enemies. Whether it's through the use of its light rocket gun, the poisoning of a sentient mind, or barraging its enemies with a mortar cannon, the MagnaGuard is capable of assaulting both infantry and vehicles with deadly effect.
