• Jackals & Skirmishers: Jackals carry plasma pistols capable of overloading shields and use their own shields for protection. Skirmishers lack shields but are exceptionally fast and elusive.
• Brutes: Strong shock troopers with several ranks; their captains wield energy shields. They are slower but more durable than Elites and can resort to melee attacks when disarmed.
