Star Wars Galaxies: Rebels beware....

Rebels beware! The Empire is preparing to deploy a whole new type of stormtrooper in its crackdown on illegal activity. According to the TestCenter patch notes provided by Vass, elite novatrooperswill soon be deployed in support of the Imperial Crackdown.

Early intelligence reports provided by Took Alot indicate that these novatroopers have "100k HAM, AP2, very high resists, and hit for 1500." Given these stats it may be time for all of the amateur smugglers to start leaving the movement of proscribed goods through Imperial held areas to the professionals.
