Confederate Army Trooper

Confederate Army Troopers are the standard infantry of the Confederate Army, and the most common soldiers of the Black Star Confederacy on most subject worlds, aside from drop troopers. Their numbers are maintained by periodic conscription from among subject populations.

The uniforms of these troopers are similar in cut to those of Imperial Navy but are gray instead of black. Battle-dress are for the most part the same, except that the battle-dress uses camouflage. Army troopers also wars plasteel combat armor on their upper bodies, which is akin in design to that worn by Confederate marines. Standard armament includes blaster rifles and grenades.

Whereas the elite Drop Trooper Corps — which is separate from the Confederate Army — is deployed for boarding actions and strategically important attacks, Confederate Army troopers are used to keep the peace on subject worlds. They are also the branch of the military that is usually responsible for operating terrestrial vehicles, such as the Mark 12 Heavy Crawler.
