The clone heavy assault troopers were the heavy weapon specialist specialized in using mobile emplacement weapons. Clone heavy troopers often carried Merr-Sonn PLX-1 portable missile launchers, DC-15S, V-1 thermal detonators, HX2 antipersonnel mines and other ARC trooper equipment. The heavy troopers handled the anti-vehicle, anti-airborne, and anti-armor duties of the Grand Army of the Republic. The units were not as resilient as AT-TEs or LAATs but offered ground units some protection against vehicles and air attacks. A similar unit was the clone heavy gunner.

Some Commanders, such as Commander Bacara, were equipped with clone heavy trooper armor such as the cheek plating, and Kamas.

History


Early during the Clone Wars, anti-air clone troopers fought alongside General Echuu Shen-Jon during the Decimator campaign.

Captain Four-Nine commanded a heavy assault trooper platoon during the Battle of Haruun Kal.

Later, clone heavy trooper of the 501st Legion fought on Mygeeto, Felucia, Kashyyyk, Utapau and during Operation: Knightfall. The clone heavy trooper eventually became the heavy weapon specialists of the Imperial shock troopers.

Behind the scenes


In Star Wars: Battlefront II, the clone soldiers called "heavy troopers" wore a white version of that of Clone Commander Bacara of the Galactic Marines.
